Celebrate Loyola Day on 31st July: Fr. Mesa SJ

Celebrate Loyola Day...

On July 31st, we celebrate the feast of St. Ignatius of Loyola. For us, Ignatian educators, this celebration is not only a reason for joy but also an invitation to recognize our source of inspiration and our commitment to providing an education of hope and optimism in a world troubled by extremism, violence and selfishness. July 31st is a day which invites us to renew our commitment to provide the world with an alternative of peace, justice and fraternity entrusted in the same God who transformed Iñigo to the Saint Ignatius we know and admire. We do this also through the preparation for the JESEDU-Rio2017 Congress which aims to lead us, as a universal body, to a universal response to the educational challenges of our world. Blessings on the feast of Saint Ignatius.
