“To Be Present is Already a Ministry”: The Jesuit Choice of Quiet Witness in Pakistan - The Society of Jesus After three years of being ad experimentum with the Jesuit Conference of Asia Pacific (JCAP), the Pakistan Jesuit Mission pauses to reflect on what it means to live and serve in this land. These years have not been easy. Pakistan is often described as an “arduous” place...

“During those days Mary set out and traveled to the hill country in haste to a town of Judah, where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said, ‘Most blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.’” Luke 1:39–42

Beneath the bright Fatima sky,
Three children knelt in silence.
Rosary beads softly trembling,
Heaven opened through your light.
You led hearts back to your Son.
O Lady of holy Fatima,
You called nations unto peace.
Through repentance and compassion,
Your white mantle gently shone.
Hope arose where you appeared.
In this Easter joy unending,
Teach our hearts to trust anew.
When the world grows cold and restless,
Keep our spirits close to God.
Shape our lives through prayerful love.
Mother near the suffering world,
Hear the cries of fearful hearts.
Gather all beneath your mantle,
Guide the Church through wounds and trials.
Lead us always unto Christ.
O Blessed Mother Mary, place us with your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.

The Pakistan Jesuit Mission was honoured by the visitation of Fr. Primitivo Jun Viray , President of the Jesuit Conference of Asia Pacific.

His time with us was marked by moments of listening, encounter, and shared reflection on our mission. Such visits strengthen our commitment to serve with greater fidelity, especially in the areas of education, interreligious dialogue, and accompaniment of communities.

We give thanks for this time of grace and for the deeper sense of unity it brings to our mission.

As Br. Peter and Br. Joseph complete their regency journey (2.5 Years) in Pakistan, we pause with hearts full of gratitude for their dedicated service, companionship, and generous spirit. Through their work in Jesuit schools and at Loyola Hall Research and Spirituality Center, they touched many lives with faith and humility.

Their presence has been a blessing to our communities, inspiring young minds, strengthening spiritual formation, and living the call to serve Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam—for the greater glory of God.

We extend our sincere thanks for their time, hard work, and witness of service. As they begin a new chapter, we keep them in our prayers, asking God to bless and guide them in all their future endeavors. May their journey continue to be filled with grace, purpose, and hope.

Thank you, Br. Peter and Br. Joseph, for being part of the Jesuit mission in Pakistan. You will always remain in our prayers and memories.

A year after his passing, the Society of Jesus honors the legacy of Pope Francis with a new Living Memorial.
As the first Jesuit Pope, his ministry was a masterclass in Synodality and Discernment, always pushing toward the "frontiers" of mercy and justice. Explore reflections from his Jesuit brothers and friends on a pontificate that changed the world.
