Please join the Anishinabe Spiritual Centre as they celebrate the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, the Patroness of the Americas. Our Blessed Mother came to a faithful Indigenous man in Mexico in 1531 and spoke no kinder words, "Let your heart not be disturbed..." Today, her importance is so great that her image has become a national symbol of Mexico. Her message has brought millions to the faith and her image is miraculous! Come and hear what these miracles are, enjoy a meal (pay only what you can) and celebrate Our Lady of Guadalupe. The Mass will be held in the upper chapel on Thursday December 12th at 5pm. Dinner at 6pm followed by the movie from FORMED entitled "The Miracle and the Message". Donations welcomed

Communiqué de presse
L'avenir de la Villa Loyola : Une réorientation vers un leadership communautaire

Sudbury (Ontario), le 6 novembre 2024 - La Villa Loyola a longtemps été une des pierres angulaires de la communauté francophone du Nord de l'Ontario, tant sur le plan spirituel que sur le plan de l'éducation. Aujourd'hui, les Jésuites du Canada annoncent leur intention de transférer la Villa Loyola à un nouveau leadership local, en cessant d'en être directement propriétaires et administrateurs d'ici le 31 juillet 2025.

Cette décision est le fruit d'un processus triennal de discernement communautaire en réponse aux réalités actuelles telles que le vieillissement des membres, le déclin des vocations et les contraintes financières croissantes. Compte tenu de ces défis, il n'est plus possible pour les Jésuites de continuer à gérer la Villa Loyola tout en soutenant d'autres ministères essentiels.

« Cette décision n'a pas été prise à la légère ; elle reflète notre engagement permanent à assurer la viabilité de notre mission dans les régions où notre impact est le plus nécessaire », a déclaré le père Jeffrey S. Burwell, SJ, provincial des Jésuites du Canada. « Nous comprenons que cette réorientation peut être difficile, et nous sommes là pour soutenir ceux qui ont construit leur vie spirituelle autour de la Villa Loyola ».

Malgré cette transition, les Jésuites du Canada maintiennent leur engagement dans la région des Grands Lacs et recentrent leurs efforts sur le renforcement des ministères pastoraux sur l'île Manitoulin, au service des communautés autochtones qui s'y trouvent. Nous espérons que la Villa Loyola sera reprise par un groupe local religieux ou autochtone, qui veillera à ce qu'elle continue à être un lieu de développement spirituel et d'éducation pour les générations à venir.

Les Jésuites recherchent activement des acheteurs potentiels parmi leurs collaborateurs actuels au sein des communautés locales religieuses et autochtones qui partagent leurs valeurs et leur vision catholiques et ignatiennes. Les Jésuites discerneront avec eux l'avenir de la Villa Loyola. Si aucun plan acceptable n'est pas reçu avant le 31 janvier 2025, la Villa Loyola sera mise sur le marché immobilier.

Les Jésuites du Canada s'engagent à accompagner les membres de la communauté dans ce processus avec soin et compassion, et à les tenir informés des prochaines étapes tout au long de cette transition.

Press Release
The Future of Villa Loyola: A Transition Toward Community Leadership
Sudbury (Ontario), November 6, 2024 – Villa Loyola has long been a cornerstone of spiritual and educational life for the Francophone community of Northern Ontario. Today, the Jesuits of Canada announce their intention to transition Villa Loyola to new local leadership, ending their direct ownership and administration by July 31, 2025.

This decision follows a three-year process of communal discernment in response to current realities such as aging membership, declining vocations, and increasing financial constraints. Given these challenges, it is no longer feasible for the Jesuits to continue managing Villa Loyola while also sustaining other critical ministries.

"This decision has not been made lightly; it reflects our ongoing commitment to ensure our mission is sustainable in the regions where our impact is needed most," said Father Jeffrey S. Burwell, SJ, Provincial of the Jesuits of Canada. "We understand that this may be a challenging transition, and we are here to support those who have built their spiritual lives around Villa Loyola."

Despite this transition, the Jesuits of Canada remain committed to the Great Lakes region and are refocusing efforts on strengthening pastoral ministries on Manitoulin Island, serving the Indigenous communities. The hope is that Villa Loyola continues to serve as a center of spiritual growth and education for generations to come.

The Jesuits are actively seeking potential buyers among their current collaborators within the local faith-based and Indigenous communities who share their Catholic and Ignatian values. The Jesuits will engage with them in discerning the future of Villa Loyola. If no acceptable plan is received by January 31, 2025, then Villa Loyola will be placed upon the open real estate market.

The Jesuits of Canada are committed to accompanying members of the community through this process with care and compassion and to keeping them informed of the next steps throughout this transition.
