Amidst a Changing World, Jesuits Look forward

On Sat., Sept. 17, 2022, the first three regional gatherings took place: the Western New York gathering at the Canisius Jesuit community in Buffalo, the Bronx-Manhattan group at the Province Conference Center in New York, and the Gloucester-Weston gathering at the Campion Center in Weston, Mass. These gatherings revolve around a central question:
