A Jesuit vocation can lead in unexpected directions.
For Fr. Frank Obrigewitsch, SJ, that has meant being ready to serve wherever needed, even beyond what he was trained to do.
His calling kept him in Canada, but the possibilities were always wider.

Love is lived “in deeds more than in words.”

Today, we remember Jesuit missionaries whose ministry among the Wendat was marked by faith, encounter and sacrifice amid colonization. As patron saints of our Province, the Canadian Martyrs call us to remain rooted in Christ and work for justice, reconciliation and healing.
Some questions keep returning for a reason.
For John Sullivan, SJ, it was priesthood. A friend challenged him to stop wondering and explore where that question might lead. So he left law school, returned to Canada and took the first step.
Congratulations to Fr. Mihály (Michael) Orbán, SJ, recipient of the Hungarian Gold Cross of Merit for his dedicated service to Montreal’s Hungarian community. The honour recognizes his longstanding pastoral ministry and commitment to the community.
