Every vocation begins with a call—and every Jesuit has a story of how that call unfolded.

In this new vocation series, our Jesuit novices share, in their own words, why they chose to follow Christ as members of the Society of Jesus. Through their stories, we hear about faith, discernment, the desire to serve, and the journey of discovering where God is calling.

🎥 Watch the series and listen to their stories.
🙏 Pray for our novices and for all those discerning their vocation.

Could God be calling you? Take a moment to listen.

Happy Feast of St. Ignatius of Loyola! ✨

Today, the Ignatian Family celebrates the feast of Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491–1556), the founder of the Society of Jesus, whose encounter with Christ transformed not only his own life but the lives of countless others.

May the spirit of St. Ignatius inspire us to seek God in all things, to discern with wisdom, to love through service, and to live each day for the greater glory of God.

St. Ignatius of Loyola, pray for us.

Arrupe Jesuit College, Abbi, has recorded an impressive milestone in its young history, achieving outstanding results in its first-ever Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).

The results reveal an exceptional overall performance among the 42 candidates who sat for the examination. Three students earned 10 A’s, one student earned 9 A’s, and four others earned 8 A’s each. Several more students distinguished themselves with strong combinations of B and C grades, reflecting not only individual brilliance at the top but also a broad culture of excellence across the class. For a school presenting candidates for the BECE for the very first time, this result is a remarkable accomplishment and a strong testament to the quality of education offered at Arrupe Jesuit College.
