Fr. Peter-Hans Kolvenbach SJ, 29th Superior General of the Society of Jesus, passed away on November 26, 2016. Fr. Kolvenbach was the World CLC Ecclesiastical Assistant (EA) from 1984 to 2008. Throughout his 24 years as our EA, he continuously reminded us of our deep heritage within the Church and the Ignatian tradition. He reminded the Society of Jesus and CLC that working with each other enriches our mission. He believed that our being one world body was a manifestation of our communion with the Church. In this, we are united with him in prayer, and in gratitude for the life he has gifted us with.
