Greetings from the Jesuit Center in Amman Jordan
Lay colleagues Marcus Bleech and Tricia Steadman Jump from the Jesuit Conference in Washington, D.C. and Alice Poltorick, communications director for the New England province, had the pleasure of visiting the Jesuit Center in Amman Jordan on Sunday.
In Amman, it’s the center of lay workers and the Jesuit fathers in Jordan. The center’s mission is the service of the faithful Christian in different theological and spiritual fields and in pastoral works. Its different works are performed by a group of Jesuit priests, together with a group of laypersons, who have specialized in theological and spiritual education.
