Discovering and putting a face to the Jesuit presence in our schools.
This was the first experiment of its kind. Testimonies, conferences, workshops, exhibitions, celebrations, games, food and much more led the educational communities (students, teachers, parents, educators, alumni) to a rich, casual and lively contact with the Jesuit community.
Jesuit Weeks was also an opportunity for Jesuits to recall who they are and where they come from, and provide their collaborators with facts and faces behind their pedagogical mission.
The first edition took place at the end of November 2017 in St. Etienne and St. Chamond (towns close to Lyon). Activities included a volleyball tournament, a one-day pilgrimage to Lalouvesc, a journey through the Jesuit heritage of the area, a forum on solidarity, debates and a final mass, all of which were very much appreciated by the young people taking part.
The next Jesuit weeks will take place in Avignon from 19th to 23th February and contacts will be made with other schools of the Jesuit network in Belgium and France.
