Annual Report
We are proud to present this annual report of benefactors to the Jesuit Seminary and Mission Fund,
New Orleans, also known as The Jesuits. These benefactors have truly been companions to the Jesuits
of the New Orleans Province, for without them, much of the work displayed in this magazine could
not happen or even be considered.
This report reflects gifts given in our 2011 fiscal year, July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2011. Gifts made after
that date will be listed in the next report.
Due to space considerations, this report was limited to the names of those who gave $50 or more
during the 2011 fiscal year. Please be assured that we are very thankful for those gifts of less than $50 and
have listed those donors on our website at www.norprov.org/thejesuits/annualreport.htm.
It is with warm and hearty thanks that we celebrate these, our thousands of companions in the Lord.
Gratefully,
Michael Bourg

message from the provincials
Dear Friends,
It is in the spirit of holy boldness that we report to you today on our progress of
reaching out for the magis (the more), to better serve our Lord and God’s people.
The Missouri and New Orleans provinces will be merging, through God’s grace, over
the years ahead. Together, we will form the USA – Central and Southern Province.
Already we collaborate in some very significant ways. We share one novitiate in
Grand Coteau, La., where 14 young men entered in August.
Fr. John Armstrong directs formation and education for
70-plus men from both provinces. And, now, we bring together
our magazines to introduce you to the many wonderful ministries and people of our provinces.
The magazine you are holding represents much work of
our staff members. It is our prayer that you will come to appreciate and enjoy reading about the wonderful ministries near the
bayous of East Texas and Louisiana as well as incredible works
from the Rockies to St. Louis.

Internationally, we serve the Church in Africa, Central and South America, China,
Mexico, Russia, Sri Lanka, Rome and beyond. Our Ignatian heritage is our common
bond and our love for the Lord Jesus is our shared passion.
Our prayer is that you will get to know the new province through these pages.
The history of our ministries is one of Jesuits and lay colleagues working side by side
in our Gospel mission. As with a marriage, a parent does not lose a daughter but gains
a son, so too with us, you will be gaining new Jesuit partners on our journey to bring
the Good News to all who need it.
Thank you for continuing to walk with the Jesuits. We know that as partners
“we must,” as Fr. Adolfo Nicolás, our Superior General, encourages, “be humble
enough to ask questions, listen carefully to feedback and admit our need to be
taught.” As we go through this period of unification, we need your help, prayer and
guidance.
As we seek the magis, please continue to walk with us in prayer. By moving forward with you, we can better sustain our ministries in response to God’s call to serve
the Church.

Regis University in Denver will
launch a new online Jesuit Higher
Education Journal in 2012 that will
advance the creation, collection
and dissemination of works about
teaching and learning in the Jesuit
tradition. Regis will publish the
biannual scholarly journal via an
open access online system. The
inaugural issue of Jesuit Higher
Education: A Journal is scheduled
for April.
“Making the most of opportunities in digital publishing and communication, the journal will create
a new world-wide community of
scholars within the Jesuit tradition
of higher education that explores,
critiques, develops and advances this
unique approach to education,” said
Marie Friedemann, journal editor
and associate dean of the university’s
College for Professional Studies.

dining hall, conference center,
library, chapel and a bell tower.
School president, Fr. Daniel Lahart,
calls the center a second campus for
the 50-year-old school. It will help
to accommodate activities for students, faculty, staff, alumni, parent
groups and other members of the
Strake Jesuit community.

the story behind the news
Looking to the Future
By Robert Burns
D
ecember 2006 to January 2007 was a crucial time
for the 10 provinces of U.S. Jesuits, who held what
are called province congregations to tackle questions about their future as well as elect delegates to the
upcoming general congregation.
Two years before, Father General Peter-Hans
Kolvenbach strongly encouraged U.S. provincials to take
a careful look at their mission and to reconsider how
best to use their resources to serve the Church in today’s
world. At these meetings, the provinces were taking a
significant step in the process of heeding his call.
In preparation, Jesuits considered two important
documents that were the result of planning, research and
analysis on the national and local level. One was a stillevolving version of a vision statement called “Responding
to the Call of Christ,” a meditation and lens through
which they would consider their ministries, apostolic
partnerships, Jesuit life and governance.
A combined Missouri-New Orleans province
would be stronger and more vital and
allow for cooperation, innovation, synergy
and more efficient use of resources.
The second document outlined four possibilities for
reconfiguring the U.S. provinces. Most of the plans cut
the number of U.S. provinces by half, from 10 to five.
Jesuits needed to answer this question: How can
U.S. provinces be restructured to best marshal resources
so that apostolates will continue to flourish, and at the
same time be small enough to maintain the Jesuit governance principle of cura personalis, the personal knowledge of a Jesuit’s interior life that a provincial uses to
make assignments?
Fr. Tim McMahon, Missouri provincial at the time,
recalled that two groups, the province congregation
and the young men in formation, who would live with
8 Jesuit

Winter-Spring 2012
the results of this
decision the longest,
followed a similar process.
They met in small groups to
discuss the pros and cons of
each scenario. They prepared responses,
expressed concerns and explored alternatives. Then they gathered as a whole to
compare results.
Each reconfiguration proposal had
to be evaluated by such criteria as
responsiveness to the Society’s mission,
apostolic needs and commitments,
and whether it would provide enough
resources to carry them out.
They also had to consider questions of leadership, governance, history, culture and relationships, as
well as Jesuit formation, collaboration with partners
and the needs of individuals.
“At first, many of the men in our province were
predisposed to an eventual merger that would include
the Wisconsin Province,” McMahon said.
At the time, Missouri had a shared novitiate with
Wisconsin, and historically Wisconsin was part of
the Missouri Province until it separated after World
War II.
But a possible merger with New Orleans had other
advantages. Missouri and New Orleans each had a
nearly equal number of Jesuits, a similar number of
men in formation and the same number of successful
high schools and retreat centers. Both served Hispanic
communities. A combined Missouri-New Orleans
province most felt, would be stronger and more vital
and allow for cooperation, innovation, synergy and
more efficient use of resources.
In the end, a decision to join with the New Orleans
Province emerged as the best option, a consensus reached
both by men in formation and the congregation delegates.
“Everyone had a good feeling about the outcome
and that the process yielded similar results at both
gatherings,” McMahon said.
New Orleans went through
a similar process during that
same weekend, according to
Fr. Fred Kammer, provincial at
the time.
“The group was not predisposed
to any particular reconfiguration
scenario,” he said. But the consensus emerged that
joining Missouri would be the strongest choice.
During the New Orleans discussions, Jesuits said that
a merger with Missouri would provide for a good distribution of men, institutions and resources and was a good
fit culturally. They said that the two provinces shared an
emphasis on Hispanic ministry, a focus on education,
and that many of the New Orleans and Missouri Jesuits
knew each other from formation studies.
Every Jesuit community throughout the U.S. had
similar discussions over the next six months, and their
results were submitted to the Jesuit Conference.
In July 2007, the national office of the Jesuits posted
preliminary results; later, a final proposal on province
reconfiguration was submitted to Father General.
In August, Kammer was able to write to his fellow
New Orleans Jesuits that they would join with the
Missouri Province. “Our future as a province lies in the
direction of eventual unity with the present Missouri
Province,” he wrote, “an outcome which was strongly
favored by men of both provinces in our various
province congregations, community
meetings, and individual survey feedback.”
When New Orleans and Missouri
join together, the new province will range from
Florida to Texas and up to Colorado and over
to Missouri, with a hook to include Belize in
Central America.
Already, some changes are under
way. One man, Fr. John Armstrong,
has been put in charge of young Jesuits
in formation for both provinces. In the
process, he has amassed many, many
frequent flyer miles.
High school principals, presidents and superiors have begun to
meet while vocation directors of
both provinces collaborate.
Perhaps the clearest sign
that the two provinces are
coming together is the start
of cross-province assignments. A New Orleans
scholastic is doing his
regency in the Missouri province, and senior Jesuits
have begun to move freely within the expanding
boundaries.
The new province envisions areas of new apostolic
energy and expanded ministry and new opportunities
for partnership. It will enable Jesuits to use resources,
especially manpower, more efficiently; and that will in
turn support new ministries in what is one of the fastest
growing parts of the Church in the United States.
A Jesuit today knows he will study at schools all
across the country or even abroad. If he is missioned
to university work, he will be assigned to a school that
needs his speciality, but may not be in his home province. Flexibility and mobility have always been keynotes
of Jesuit ministry, and they will help the New Orleans
and Missouri Jesuits to sustain old friendships as they
seek to meet new needs.

Fr. Gary Seibert prepares students in his public speaking class.
Saint Louis University
Welcomes Chinese Students
—Speech Class, Ambassadors and
Cultural Celebrations

Winter-Spring 2012
A
n influx of students from China’s burgeoning middle class is meeting America with plenty of help
and a welcome mat from Saint Louis University.
The university has begun offering summer acculturation, free tutoring and writing services and one-on-one
work pronouncing English tongue-twisters with Fr. Gary
Seibert, who teaches a popular new communications
course, “Public Speaking: Chinese Culture.”
“I never had to be Matteo Ricci,” Seibert said of the
16th-century Italian Jesuit who helped establish the first
Jesuit mission in China. “The Chinese have come to me.”
China’s thriving economy has created so much new
wealth that many middle-class families now can afford
to send their children to American universities. In the
2011 fall term, 676 of SLU’s approximately 13,000 students—about five percent—came to the St. Louis campus
from mainland China. That is more than twice as many
students as those who come from 67 other countries combined, and the numbers are increasing.
China sent nearly 128,000 students to U.S. universities
in the 2009-10 academic year, said Tim Hercules, director
of International Services and Student Educational Services
at SLU. The number increased by 30,000 to nearly 158,000
Chinese students in the 2010-11 year. “They understand
the value of receiving an education from a prestigious U.S.
university,” he said.
Hercules’ nine-person team helps international students ease into their new life on the St. Louis campus.
“As someone who studied abroad, I have a good
understanding of the needs of the students we serve,”
Hercules said. “It’s essential that we help these students,
who bring so much to our campus, adapt to the academic
rigor of SLU and to the cultural differences that come
with studying in the U.S. We want to show them everything the university has to offer, the beauty of SLU’s campus and the friendliness of our people.”
Hercules and his staff connect Chinese and other
international students to a host family program, a series
of talks in a relaxed atmosphere, free tutoring and writing
services, and a new summer acculturation program
that gives them a four-week jumpstart on their college
experience.
An advisor to Hercules’ team, Fr. Don Highberger,
leads a new program in which students serve the international students as peer mentors and ambassadors.
“I try to establish a safe zone where they can work
through their issues,” Highberger said. “In many cases, we
are dealing with 19-year-olds. If they went through the traditional Chinese high school, they didn’t date, participate
in lots of extracurricular activities or make many decisions
for themselves. This is a maturation time in which they are
dealing with lots of issues that are traditionally found in
U.S. high schools.”
Highberger returned to SLU last year after two years
of teaching at a university in China while an associate
professor at Denver’s Regis University. Highberger, who
has more than 20 years of experience teaching collegelevel communication courses, taught English at Sun
Yat-sen University (originally Guangdong University)
in Guangzhou.
Because many of SLU’s Chinese students major in
business, Seibert has designed his “Public Speaking:
Chinese Culture” course as a way for Chinese and
American students to develop their speaking skills and
learn about each other’s cultures. The course is offered in
collaboration with the university’s John Cook School of
Business.
Seibert, who has a Master of Fine Arts from Carnegie
Mellon University, draws on his background in television and theater to enliven the course. He once ran a
theater in the basement of Holy Cross Church on 42nd
Street in New York
“I believe public speaking is one of the most ignored
and marginalized areas of academe,” Seibert said. “Not
many people want to teach it and nobody wants to take
public speaking. But I am thrilled to be teaching it. If we
can turn it into more than just a speech class, it has all
sorts of amazing collateral benefits.”
Seibert said he uses the students’ speeches as tools
to “inform, persuade and celebrate.” He warned that
explaining what takes place during these classes is like
“describing the art of (20th-century American artist)
Jasper Johns to a blind person.”
“It can be chaotic,” he said. “I wish everyone could
see it for themselves.”

St. Louis gave an in-depth speech on the Catholic
Church’s rituals and sacraments.
“This is material we take for granted, but my
Chinese students had no knowledge of it,” Seibert said.
“Then we had a young lady from China deliver an
incredible speech about the unique way of doing business in China, which is very different than in the U.S.”
Yingda Wang, an accounting and economics major
at SLU who expects to graduate next year, said the
speech course gives Chinese students a place to introduce their culture to American peers. “U.S. students
“The Chinese students may not
understand every word I say, but they
listen very intently, and I listen to them
in a more complete way because
everything is new to both of us.”

have some ideas about Chinese culture but they are not
always accurate,” he said.
The southeast China student, a frequent visitor to
Seibert’s office, said the Jesuit is very patient.
“If students have trouble preparing their speeches,
he is very willing to help,” Wang said. “When I could
12 Jesuit
|
Winter-Spring 2012
not say all the words in my speech, he went through it
with me and pronounced each word. He even had me
read some tongue twisters to practice.”
Seibert works one-on-one with Chinese students
in his language lab and has hosted them for informal
gatherings and to celebrate the Chinese New Year at his
community near campus.
“At times, my office looks like a U.N. delegation,” he
said. “The Chinese students may not understand every
word I say, but they listen very intently and are like
sponges. And I listen to them in a more complete way
because everything is new to both of us. They are very
patient and I am having so much fun.”
Highberger arrived in Guangzhou with what he
thought was a basic understanding of what he was getting into. But, he said, “The deeper I got into the experience, the more questions I had.”
“The Chinese people have a different mindset and
logic system. I began to relate to what early Jesuit missionaries such as Matteo Ricci must have experienced.
To even begin to understand China, I had to drop all my
old biases and preconceived notions.”
Highberger came across research showing that
reading and writing in English and Chinese use different
parts of the brain.
“Recognizing that there are two different ways that
the brain organizes and processes information helped
me understand what was going on in the heads of my
Chinese students,” he said. “If we acknowledge that they don’t use
our standard linear type of logic system, we can work together to
reach the same place.”
Most students maintain very close ties with their families in
China, who see them as their hope and future, Highberger said.
They carry tremendous pressure to succeed.
Many Chinese students have studied English for at least 12
years, yet have had little chance to speak it until now.
“Chinese is a very structured language, and we have this
crazy English language with rules that we break all the time,”
Highberger said.
The Chinese students also are not accustomed to ask questions as they are encouraged here. Their educational system is
still largely based on memorization and rote learning.
“Memorization is important, but what do you do with that
information?” Highberger asked. “When I taught in China, my
students were initially very uncomfortable with the dreaded question of, ‘Why?’ But our job as professors is to gradually bring that
out of them and develop their critical thinking skills.”
Highberger taught a class in China entitled, “Tainted Loans
and Tainted Milk,” in the wake of the U.S. subprime mortgage
crisis and the Chinese milk scandal in which melamine-tainted
milk sickened thousands and resulted in some deaths.
“We had some interesting discussions about what was going
on in the two countries in terms of businesses attempting
to make money without considering the impact on people,”
Highberger said.
Nearly 500 years after St. Francis Xavier set out to do missionary work in Asia, responding to China’s needs remains a high
priority for the Society of Jesus. Seibert points to a simple expression by Ignatius Loyola about the Jesuit “way of proceeding.”
“When I read that for the first time at age 19, I did not
know what it meant,” said Seibert. “But after years of watching
other Jesuits at work and reflecting on my own work, I do now.
The way we have of proceeding is to look very hard at what is
happening as we walk through this world, and then find ways
to help. As with my Chinese students, our apostolates actually
choose us—not the other way around.
“In the beginning, Ignatius Loyola refused to open schools
because he said our mission was to save souls. Eventually, he
relented, and here we are today at SLU, trying to help.”

Jesuit Social Research Institute Addresses
Migration and Human Rights by
Uniting Faith and Action

S
tate anti-immigrant legislation. Self-deportation.
Securing our borders. The Dream Act.
Comprehensive Immigration Reform. Amnesty.
What do these terms mean to American Catholics?
Few current social issues are as contentious as the question of how to deal with refugees and undocumented
migrants in the United States.
The Jesuit Social Research Institute (JSRI), a collaborative project of the Jesuits of the New Orleans Province
and Loyola University New Orleans, is working to
dissipate confusion, particularly among Catholics, and
advocating that immigrants are treated with fairness
and justice as called for by the Hebrew and Christian
scriptures.
Pope Benedict XVI recently upheld Church teachings
on immigration when he urged Christian communities
to “pay special attention to migrant workers and their
families by accompanying them with prayer, solidarity
and Christian charity … as well as by fostering new political, economic and social planning that promotes respect
for safeguarding of the family, access to dignified

housing, to work and to welfare.” (“Migration and the
New Evangelization,” September 21, 2011)
The institute was established in 2007 to address the
social concerns of immigration, poverty and race in
southern states that border the Gulf of Mexico—Texas,
Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida. Led by
former New Orleans provincial, Fr. Fred Kammer, JSRI
applies Catholic social teaching to its research and
education and in its action and advocacy work.
The institute’s immigration efforts are guided by
Susan Mary Weishar, Ph.D., former director of immigration and refugee services at Catholic Charities
Archdiocese of New Orleans, and are focused on
opposing unjust anti-immigrant legislation, protecting
migrants in detention centers and educating people, particularly Catholics, about issues surrounding migration.
“Until Congress has the courage and will to take
on comprehensive immigration reform, it appears that
considerable time and energy will be needed at the state
and local level to oppose anti-immigrant legislation,” she
says. “Support by a broad base of Catholic voters

working in coalition with other groups will be [the]
key to defeating future anti-immigrant legislation.
Many Catholics will continue to draw their inspiration
from the Church’s call to uphold and protect the dignity
and worth of all persons.”
Many states are introducing harsh anti-immigrant
bills into their legislatures. Kammer, a native of
New Orleans, lawyer, author and former longtime
director of Catholic Charities USA, has worked with the
Louisiana Conference of Catholic Bishops and other organizations during the last two legislative sessions to prepare
and give testimony to the Louisiana legislature in opposition to “Arizona-style” bills, which would have given
police officers the authority to question the immigration status of anyone they chose to stop. The bill died in
Louisiana, although two bills have passed which require
private businesses to “e-verify” the citizenship of employees, a process that compares an employee’s Employment
Eligibility Verification form to data from U.S. Department
of Homeland Security and Social Security Administration
records to confirm employment eligibility.
JSRI has been a resonating voice for justice in the
Alabama legislature as well, where in numerous testimonies and speeches Fr. Ted Arroyo, founding director
of the institute, has illustrated the clash between fundamental Christian beliefs and the measures imposed by
Alabama House Bill 56, which by regulating every aspect
of the lives of immigrants in Alabama makes it the
harshest anti-immigrant bill ever passed by a state legislature. It also criminalizes the transporting and harboring of undocumented immigrants, making it a piece of
legislation that infringes on the First Amendment right
of citizens to practice fully the charitable works
and service of Christian faith.
Weishar explains that this particular bill, deemed
a “merciless law” by Alabama bishops, went beyond
employee citizenship verification and random interrogation by authorities. She says it banned undocumented
students from enrolling in public colleges after high
school and that it required Alabama public schools to
determine the immigration status of all students. “Public
school officials were also required to publish figures on

“When an alien resides with you in
your land, do not mistreat such a one.
You shall treat the alien who resides
with you no differently than the
natives born among you;
you shall love the alien as yourself;
for you too were once aliens
in the land of Egypt.”
(Leviticus 19:33-34)
the number of immigrant children, both documented and
undocumented, who enrolled in their schools and the
costs associated with educating undocumented students,”
she says.
Alabama’s U.S. District Court entered injunctions
against several sections of the law in September of 2011,
but it did not block the provision that schools check
immigration status until that October, after thousands of
children were withdrawn from schools by parents who
were terrified that school officials would report parents
or their children to immigration authorities.
In anticipation of similar legislation being introduced
in Mississippi in 2011 — legislation which included provisions to deny birthright citizenship to children born to
undocumented parents — JSRI authored a letter emphasizing a faith rationale for rejecting the bill. It incorporated the importance of considering cherished values
of many Mississippians — particularly human dignity,
family unity and compassion. Mississippi’s two Catholic
bishops, the Methodist bishop and the Episcopal bishop
signed the letter. While two versions of the harsh bill
passed the state House and Senate, it ultimately died in
committee.
With legislatures in session and the growing movement for states to pass strict laws aimed at coercing
migrants to “self-deport,” JSRI continues its work and
planning for assisting bishops and advocacy groups.
Legislation does not, however, consider the plight
of the skyrocketing number of immigrants detained and
deported by the United States government. Nor does it
16 Jesuit
|
Winter-Spring 2012
consider the plight of the children of undocumented
immigrants, who too often end up in foster care hundreds of miles from detained parents and relatives,
says Weishar.
“During 2010, almost 363,000 immigrants were
detained in a patchwork network of facilities — mostly
penal institutions — in more than 250 locations run
largely by county authorities or private contractors with
little direct federal oversight at a cost of $1.77 billion,”
Kammer explains. Although immigrant detention is
supposed to be civil, not criminal, most detained immigrants are kept in harsh, punitive conditions in jails and
prisons. Many of them lack access to proper nutrition
and exercise, medical care, legal and educational materials, phones and visits, he says.
To improve human rights protections — particularly in the areas of health care, diet, exercise, safety,
legal rights and religious freedom — JSRI is teaming up
with the New Orleans Province and 10 other faith-based
investors, including several Catholic men’s and women’s
congregations, to use their
power as shareholders to influence two private companies that
operate detention centers.
Through filing shareholder
resolutions, speaking at annual
Fr. Fred Kammer
company meetings and holding
dialogues with key management staff, JSRI and its partners are leaning on these companies to review their
policies related to human rights, to assess areas where
the companies need to adopt and implement additional
policies and to report their findings to shareholders. The
institute is also compiling reports of human rights violations, such as physical and sexual abuse of detainees,
inhumane or degrading punishment, the denial of access
to attorneys and the withholding of medical or mental
health treatment in these private detention centers. These
reports provide a starting point for effective dialogues
with company managers.
Outside of detention walls, JSRI has worked to
increase public awareness about the detention system
by leading the recent “Imprisoned, Forgotten, and
Deported: A Conference on Immigration Detention,
Advocacy, and the Faith Community,” at Loyola University
New Orleans. With a grant from the Ford Foundation, the
conference was the first of its kind in the United States.
It explored how communities are ministering to detained
immigrants and their families and how more just policies
toward immigrants and detention can emerge.
In late 2011, JSRI worked with volunteers and the
Loyola University Law Clinic to prevent the deportation
of several Haitian detainees who were being processed for removal at three remote detention centers in
Louisiana. First removed by Immigration Control and
Enforcement (ICE) from Florida, where most of the men
had family and legal representation, these men were
shocked that the U.S. had chosen to deport them back to
Haiti at such a dangerous time in the country’s history.
Despite a variety of efforts on the part of JSRI, including
work with local, state and national coalitions and with
Haitian service providers, letters written to the Obama
administration and requests to the Louisiana congressional delegation, 136 Haitians have since been deported.
One of the first deportees died from cholera-like symptoms 10 days after arriving in Haiti, and nearly 25 percent of those deported are suffering from psychological
trauma. JSRI is working with organizations in Haiti to
identify mental health resources for them.
This work and the other
efforts of institute staff are
reported regularly in “Just South
Quarterly” and the bi-monthly
“Just South E-News.” And,
Weishar, Kammer and Arroyo are

frequently interviewed by local
and national media and make presentations to Catholic
schools, legal seminars and conferences.
One of the newest efforts spearheaded by JSRI is a
series of quarterly “Catholic Dialogues on Immigration
in Louisiana” to help build awareness and understanding
of immigration in the U.S., especially unauthorized
immigration, an issue that divides many Catholics. The
first dialogue held in January 2012 drew 70 participants
guided by two dozen trained facilitators. The mostly
Catholic group was surprised to learn about Catholic
social teaching that strongly supports the rights of
migrants and the need to address the reasons for their
flight. At the conclusion of the dialogue, more than
three-fourths of the participants expressed a strong
desire to become more involved in the Church’s work
on immigration.
One participant said that the dialogue was valuable
because “immigration needs to have a human face,”
and she “found the face of Jesus” in the migrants whose
stories she heard. This is also true for the work of the
institute which aims to give a human face to migrants.
The ministry of the Jesuit Social Research Institute
extends beyond each law and every detention center.
At the center of the immigration issue is a real person
— beyond a name on a form — someone struggling
to feed a family, make a home, find work and engage
in a community. Recognizing how exile and homelessness marked the life of Jesus as well, the work of the
Jesuit Social Research Institute for migrants is done in
the hope that those in exile in this day and age can find
home and welcome — and justice.

Technology Offers Hope
By Thomas Rochford SJ
C
amden, N.J., is just the
width of a river away from
Philadelphia, but the distance
between its poverty and its neighbor’s
corporate headquarters and comfortable suburbs is enormous. Growing
up in Camden can mean sudden
violence, inadequate schools, lack of
opportunity and little hope for a
better future. According to 2007 U.S.
Census data, more than 35 percent
of Camden’s population lives in
poverty, and the school dropout rate
is consistently one of the highest in
the country.

Kansas City, has picked this unlikely
place to try a bold initiative that uses

neurial business practices to help
Camden’s youth find their way forward. Burnt-out homes and empty
lots surround the three-story row
house headquarters of Hopeworks
‘N Camden, a technology training
center where as many as 250
Camden youth can learn technical
skills in Web design, programming
languages and information systems.
They range in age from 14 to 23 and
might begin with just a seventhgrade reading level. They leave
with technological training, greatly
enhanced self-confidence and job
experience in the bigger world.
Putthoff created Hopeworks as
a service for commercial and nonprofit clients that pay for work by
young Hopeworks trainees. Initially,
Web design was the main product,
but Hopeworks is moving beyond
that into other areas and applications
such as social media and Geographic
Information Systems.
“We are not a business that has
internships; we are a youth development program that has a business,
and that business is part of our strategy for engaging our youth,” Putthoff
said.
Hopeworks requires no entrance
exam and charges no tuition. Most
other job development programs for
college-age students demand some
prerequisite skills just to get in the
door, a requirement that would keep
out most of the Camden youth. The
young people who want to come to
Hopeworks are not illiterate, just
poorly trained; but they learn quickly,
Putthoff said.
“There is nothing the matter with
the youth except that they have not
been given what they need,” he said.
Young men and women come
in with few skills and lots of damage from their environment. They
cannot imagine themselves belonging in a corporate setting in what
seems a world apart in Philadelphia.
Hopeworks challenges them to think
about themselves and their futures
in new ways. They start to reimagine
their lives with a different trajectory.
The data shows that this innovative approach works. Nearly 100
alumni have progressed to junior
college and around 300 jobs have
been created.
Putthoff graduated from
Rockhurst High School in Kansas
City and taught at St. Louis
University High School, both elite
institutions far different than those
in Camden that he first visited as a
theology student before ordination.
He decided to spend a semester living in Holy Name Parish, which the
Maryland Province then staffed,
while he studied theological and
social issues related to serving the
poor. After his ordination as a priest
in 1998, he asked the Missouri provincial, Fr. Frank Reale, to assign him
to Camden, even though it
was outside the boundaries of the
province.
The young
assistant pastor
was asked to focus
on the youth of the
parish. During a
community-organizing training program
in New Orleans, he
met a Lutheran pastor from Camden.
The two became enthusiastic about the
concept of using technology to engage
youth. When Putthoff heard about a
Milwaukee, Wis., organization that
used Web design as a tool for youth
development, he had a starting point.
It was not very pretty at first.
Putthoff confesses that he knew
nothing about technology at the beginning, but he was undeterred.
“One of the phrases that we
have coined at Hopeworks is
‘Learning to Learn,’” Putthoff
said, and he has lived it. A Jesuit
novice helped Putthoff set up the
first network.
“We knew nothing,” Putthoff
said. “We had a server and
five computers, and
we taught ourselves how to
network.

Winter-spring 2012
Since then, the principal
mission of Café Reconcile has been
to provide disconnected neighborhood youth ages 16 to 22 with the
skills and confidence needed to live
stable, productive lives and to earn
career-track jobs to ultimately provide for themselves and their families. The primary platform for this
training takes place in their neighborhood restaurant, which attracts
weekday lunch crowds of more than
100 New Orleanians and out-of-town
visitors.
Each student is furnished with a
uniform, bus tokens, two meals a day
and a work stipend. During lunch
service, each is mentored by restaurant staff at five restaurant workstations — steward, floor service or
wait staff, pantry chef, sous chef and
department chef.
In addition to working “the front
and back of the house,” students in
the program utilize the 21st Century
Success Principles curriculum to
understand workplace culture. The
program offers personalized case
management services to help students
overcome obstacles like unstable
housing and unreliable transportation. Outside referrals enable students
to pursue domestic violence counseling, address any substance abuse
issues and obtain legal assistance.
In 11 years, nearly 800 students
have successfully completed the
12-week program and gained employment in New Orleans’ thriving hospitality sector. One of those graduates
is Brandon. Growing up in what he
calls a “typical New Orleans neighborhood,” rampant with drugs and
violence, he never considered a career
in the culinary arts. He was struggling
to survive the streets, when a few days
before his high school graduation his
sister was shot and killed.
A few months later, and about
to become a father, Brandon
enrolled at Café Reconcile after
hearing about the program from a
friend. He quickly mastered training and landed an internship at the
popular Café Adelaide in the Loews
Hotel. Two years later, he has been
promoted twice and honored as
“employee of the month” among a
staff of 200 employees.
Loews Hotel currently employs
16 Reconcile graduates, and its
director of human resources, Ray
Bruce, said the partnership with
Café Reconcile was an important
business decision. “I have made
many calls in my professional
career, but my call to Café Reconcile
seeking to form a partnership was
without a doubt the most important
call I’ve ever made,” he said. “Café
Reconcile is changing the culture of
the Loews in a very positive way.”
As a social enterprise, Café
Reconcile generates about a third of
its revenue through restaurant and
catering sales, the rest through philanthropy and from grants obtained
with the help of the New Orleans
Province’s Grants Collaborative,
which has helped the organization
raise more than $5 million over the
past six years.
Coming out of its most successful
year yet — with 98 students successfully completing program requirements — Café Reconcile is preparing
to offer additional services to the
Central City community. Ground
has been broken for a state-of-the-art
space for GED instruction, parenting
classes, computer literacy training,
financial workshops and several other
skill-building programs.
By working in close collaboration with other local organizations,
Café Reconcile hopes to provide the
youth and the neighborhood it serves
with the tools needed to overcome
obstacles, and with the support of
the community, Café Reconcile can
achieve Fr. Harry’s dream of bringing
people together to achieve the Gospel
mandate of service to others.

formation
Finding God in Meteorites: Robert Macke SJ
By Robert Macke SJ
O
ne of the things that attracted me to the Society
of Jesus was the Ignatian principle of finding God
in all things. I saw Jesuits seeking and finding God in
so many ways, from ministering in the Third World, to
delving into questions of philosophy and theology to
exploring the grandeur of the universe.
As someone with a background in physics and
astronomy, I am no stranger to the idea that by studying
God’s creation we encounter God. As a 38-year-old, firstyear theology student at Boston College and a recent
graduate of a physics doctoral program, I can see in
hindsight a pattern of formation as a Jesuit brother that
has only strengthened this idea.
After I completed philosophy studies in 2006, I
began teaching physics and astronomy at Rockhurst
University in Kansas City, a wonderful opportunity to
teach in my field and minister to students. Introductory
astronomy courses are particularly well-suited to this
task because they provide a context for inspiring wonder
at the universe and exploring the relationship between
faith and science. Undergraduates come with so many
questions, and they respond very well to encouragement
to explore those questions.
During that time, I heard from a Jesuit friend at the
Vatican Observatory, Br. Guy Consolmagno, who told
me about an opportunity to study meteorite physical
properties in a doctoral program. With the provincial’s
blessing, I left regency after only one year and spent
the next four years at the University of Central Florida
measuring the densities of meteorites, the percentages of
pore space within them and their responses to a magnetic
field. And somehow, as part of graduate studies and in
the context of Jesuit life, I was to find God in these rocks
from outer space.
Studying meteorites can be tedious work, but the
pursuit involved travel to New York, Washington,
Chicago and London where meteorites are held in
museum or university collections.
As I studied more than 1,300 specimens, sometimes
the tedium of the repetitive process became too great. I
then would hold one of the more primitive meteorites in
my hand and muse upon it, reminding myself that it was
4.5 billion years old, one of the earliest objects to form
when the solar system itself was forming, and holding
clues to that history.

Heroes and Friends in the Lord: Matthew Baugh SJ
By Matthew Baugh SJ
T
wo years ago, I flew to London just after pronouncing
my first vows as a Jesuit in Grand Coteau, La. Ten
years earlier, I had been an overly ambitious young
graduate student at Oxford University, my sights set on
a career in politics and foreign affairs. But I also had a
profound sense that the Lord was calling me deeper into
prayer and union with him.
When I began attending daily Mass at the university
chaplaincy, I encountered one of the most astonishing
preachers I had ever heard, a British Jesuit, Fr. Nicholas
King. I soon began spiritual direction with him, and
he introduced me to the English martyrs. Four centuries earlier, my brother Jesuits
had to enter the country in disguise, under assumed names
and beneath the watchful eyes
of priest-hunters. Jesuit martyr
Edmund Campion, for one, passed
himself off as a jewel merchant
named Mr. Edmunds. He was
regarded as a traitor and public
enemy because he left England to
become a Jesuit.
Campion and his companions
— Robert Southwell, Nicholas
Owen and Henry Walpole —
were among the first Jesuits I
ever encountered. They instantly
became both heroes and friends
in the Lord, men who opened up
vast new horizons for me and who pointed out a way
of living in intimate friendship with Christ. These were
men who had walked the very same Oxford streets that
I walked.
And they were cheerful. People sometimes imagine
martyrs as a gloomy lot. Not these men. They knew
what awaited them when, not if, they were captured.
Because they did it for love, they were buoyed by that
special grace that overtakes all lovers. They also acted
out of the boldness that comes from the union of hearts
and minds within the Society, where all the missions of
individual Jesuits are inextricably linked. As Campion
famously wrote to government authorities shortly before
he was captured, “And touching our Society, be it known
to you that we have made a league — all the Jesuits in
the world — cheerfully to carry the cross you shall lay
upon us and never to despair your recovery.”
Given what I owe to Edmund Campion — both
because of his example and his prayers — it was a real
grace to be sent to Campion Hall, the Jesuit academic
community at Oxford, for my first mission as a Jesuit
scholastic. The provincial asked me to finish the doctorate in international law that I had left unfinished once
I discerned my vocation. So, I was back in the place
where I had originally heard the
Lord’s call. This time around,
though, I found myself in a
whole new role — as a partner
in the Society’s mission to the
university.
The primary focus of my
apostolic work was a vocations
group for eight young men discerning the priesthood and religious life. But, I also helped Fr.
Nick and a Benedictine scripture
scholar lead a group of undergraduate students — consisting
mostly of non-believers — on
a study-tour of the Holy Land.
In both contexts, I found myself
looking to Ignatius for guidance.
As a student in several Spanish universities and
finally at the University of Paris, Ignatius developed a
way of proceeding that remains definitive for his followers to this day — engaging in spiritual conversation. As
he spoke with fellow students, he looked for where the
Lord was already at work in them, and where he could
help them encounter God. The experience of trying to
do the same at Oxford taught me an important lesson: at
a time in Europe’s history when many people have lost
all contact with the faith, personal conversations are one
of the principal frontiers of the new evangelization.

Harold Rahm SJ: ‘Bicycle Padre’ Keeps Rolling at 93
By Brooke Arceneaux-Iglesias
J
esuit Fr. Harold
Rahm learned long
ago the value of staying
close to the people.
In El Paso, his first
assignment in his native
Texas, Rahm celebrated
Mass in people’s backyards. He prayed the
rosary on street corners and offered bread
lines. He got his foot in
the door of residents’
homes by asking to use
the phone. He rode
a bicycle to talk and
play with street kids in
his battle to eliminate
youth gangs.
Over the last nearly 50 years, he used similar techniques to reach out to the abandoned, the poor, the
addicted and the desperate of Brazil, where he remains
today.
Rahm, now 93, spends his days directing “Christian
Yoga” retreats aimed at helping people use their senses
and meditation to form a union with God.
“I endeavor to do my little part to serve the poor and
those especially in need, both financially and spiritually,”
he said.
Rahm had an interesting start to his formation as a
Jesuit. Before entering the Society of Jesus in 1937, Rahm
was a National Guardsman studying to become a doctor
like his father.
“I endeavor to do my little part to
serve the poor and those especially in
need, both financially and spiritually.”

During National Guard maneuvers, he found a crucifix in his pocket that he began to contemplate and which
led him to the Bible and other religious books, including
“These Terrible Jesuits.” Rahm’s captain helped him leave
the National Guard when the Jesuits accepted him.
He learned to shed his racial prejudices while at the
novitiate at Grand Coteau, La., later volunteering to work
with Mexicans and the people of Sri Lanka.
Over 14 years in El Paso, where he was fondly known
as the “Bicycle Padre,” he said he learned to work with
the people in South El Paso which was ruled by gangs in
those days. He and his team worked with schools, founded
clubs, and built a youth center. They engaged adolescents
in sports, music, bands and theater, offering free lunches
and daily ice cream. As the teens grew up, he said, they
did not join the gangs.
When Rahm arrived in Brazil, he set out to find
priests and scholastics to staff the Centro Kennedy
Mission in São Paulo, which worked to improve lives
through education and human development.
He and his team worked with alcoholics and drug
addicts and founded Amor-Exigente or Tough Love,

Jack Stochl SJ: From English Class to Prison
By Thomas Rochford SJ
F
r. Jack Stochl found his heart’s home when he first
went as a Jesuit scholastic in 1948 to Belize, where he
remains today at age 87.
The government of that Central American nation recognized his commitment last fall when it presented him
with the Meritorious Service Award for his 64 years of
helping the people of Belize by teaching English and,
more recently, caring for prisoners.
This disciplined man followed the same daily routine for years, rising at 4 a.m. to exercise, pray and teach
English each morning at St. John’s College in Belize City.
He ran the Extension School in the late afternoon and
evening, returning home in time for bed at 9:30 p.m.
Stochl founded the Extension School in 1957 in the
heart of Belize City. The school’s academic offerings were
limited but effective, and were aimed at helping students
earn a grade school diploma or “leaving permit” that would
qualify them for a government job. He had great organizational skills and was ready to take charge of things.
Fr. Jim Short, who now lives at Bellarmine House in St.
Louis, worked with Stochl for years, including time together
at St. Martin de Porres Parish in Belize City. “Jack had a
good touch with people and chose good teachers,” he said.
“He had goals and knew what he wanted to achieve.”
That keen sense of focus was evident in his various
roles over many years in the Jesuits’ mission in Belize.
He was first and foremost a dedicated and demanding
teacher of the English language, constantly pushing his
students to master English.
He served as headmaster of the secondary education division of St. John’s College from 1965 to 1969 and from 1987 to
1992; he was the mission superior from 1977 to 1983.
The Meritorious Service Award noted his radio work
as well, saying that “his voice may be familiar to some
early risers because for the past 34 years, going back to
the days of Radio Belize, he has delivered a brief Morning
Devotion talk each week.”
He took up residence at St. Martin’s parish in 1987
and served as its pastor from 1995 until 2004.
“He turned out to be an excellent pastor,” Short said,
someone who continued the good relationships with
people in the parish that his predecessors had begun.
In 2005, when he
turned 80, Stochl became
pastoral minister to inmates
of the Belize prison. At the
urging of a parishioner, he
reluctantly visited prisoners
who were reading the Bible.
Stochl said he was not sure
at first whether they were
sincere or just faking, but
“we got along comfortably
and I continued to visit them each week. So when I retired
from the parish and looked for something to do, the prison
was the obvious choice.”
Stochl’s work has grown. He goes to the prison at least
five days a week and offers Mass on Saturdays for around
100 inmates with no guard present. He also runs three
weekly counseling groups and visits men in the maximum
security and punishment sections. “Being present to them and interested means a lot,”
he said. He is secretary of the Belize branch of Prison
Fellowship International, and is involved in two rehabilitation programs. “The work grows on you, and so do the
inmates once you get to know them as persons.”
The thread that connects these different areas of
Stochl’s ministry is his sense of identifying with the
Belizean people.
He became a Belizean citizen in 1974, not as a political
statement but as a sign that he would remain with the
people. Early on he developed a great affection for the
Garifuna, Afro-Caribbean people who live along Belize’s
southern coast and other parts of Central America. As a
scholastic, Stochl worked with a number of Garifuna
students to create a way of writing their language. He continued this project during summer vacations in theology
with the help of now retired Bishop Martin. The result
was a dictionary and a small prayer book.
In Belize City, he always took time to chat with
ordinary people. Now, he talks with prisoners, teaching
a religious sensibility that will help them.
“He is where he should be,” Short said. “His heart is
in the right place.”

We dove in not because we had a
great resource that we knew how to
use but because we had a youth crisis, and we had to figure out how to
work with the youth.”
Hopeworks continues to evolve.
The Crib is a former convent that
was recently renovated to house and
support up to eight Hopeworks
students in college. Residents work
in corporate internships while they
study. Hopeworks also started a
video operation this year and is
close to starting a cloud-computing

“We are trying to grow with
the market and grow in the market
where we can fit,” he said. “I like that
part of the job. It is always new and
always evolving, so I am always
having to learn.”
The Jesuit is fearless about
trying new things. “Being an entrepreneur means seeing an opportunity,” he said. “If you don’t move fast,

help around 250 youth per year
in an intense one-on-one program. Since the students don’t pay
tuition, Putthoff must raise money
to make up the difference between
Hopeworks’ revenue and costs.
Putthoff tries to help supporters
see the challenges that a youth in
Camden faces. That does not mean
that he thinks young people should
get a handout. Hopeworks pushes
them to meet their commitments.
“We have a phrase, ‘Be Big,’” the
director said. “If a youth comes late
to Hopeworks, and we don’t confront him, we don’t
respect him. Respect
means that you hold
them to a standard
that they are not used
to when they are outside Hopeworks.
“Respect means
you have to take up
the privilege you have.
Being Big means
seeing the possibilities
in yourself, of having
a sense of your own
development compared to six months
previous. Being
Big means actually
becoming a resource for someone
else and owning the resources inside
yourself.”
Putthoff has to work against the
perception that Camden is hopeless.
“We have to distinguish ourselves not in the problem, but in the
solution we have,” he said.
“People often assume I do this
work because it is what ‘Jesuits do’
and I suppose that is mostly correct,” he added. “However, more
personally, I find Jesus alive here.
This is the place where my relationship with Him has grown. Living
and working in such poverty with
its accompanying violence and
terrible, traumatizing abuse challenges my sense of justice, my
understanding of sin. “I don’t find easy answers every
day, nor is God readily giving me
platitudes. Rather, I often find
myself with the crucified Christ of
Camden. As a Jesuit, I have asked
to be close to Jesus, especially in
His sufferings. How truly little did I
understand that till I began working
in Camden.”

Embedded within the meteorite are a few tiny grains of
material that survived the heat
and shock of its forming and that
remain essentially unchanged
from the moment they were
created in stars. They are literally
stardust. I am awestruck, and in
that awe I once again encounter
God.
This work also allowed me
to minister to people in the sciences. Simply by being a scientist
and a member of a religious
order, I stand as a counterexample to the false notion
that science and faith are incompatible. My presence has
sparked many conversations with colleagues who wish
to explore that idea more deeply and who have no other
way to do so.
Now that the doctorate is completed and theological
studies have begun, I have not abandoned the
pursuit of science. Fr. Cyril Opeil
has provided space in his lab at
Boston College where I can construct some new research instruments. Furthermore, by helping out
with campus ministry at my alma
mater, the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology, I can continue to
have good conversations about faith
and science with its many students
of science and engineering.
In my spare time, I research
properties of lunar materials, which
led to a visit over Christmas break
to study Apollo moon rocks at NASA’s Johnson Space
Center in Houston.
But most importantly, I am discovering that theology
studies themselves provide tools for integrating these
pursuits with the many other ways in which we are called
to find God in all things.

Today, Instituçào Padre Haroldo, a center in his
name in Campinas, Brazil, offers several programs
for the therapeutic treatment of alcoholics and drug
addicts. He said the treatment involves learning new
values, behaviors, skills, habits and responsibilities in
order to integrate back into society.
He also started the Pastoral Sobriety, the search for
sobriety as a way of life, and has ministered to prostitutes and street children.
“I would like to stress that I only founded these
movements,” Rahm said. “It is evident that the wonderful
Brazilian people and leaders direct and work in them.
I personally should not receive the credit.”
Rahm has written books on spirituality, addiction

The Ignatian Heritage Society is a tribute to
friends and family members of New Orleans
Province Jesuits who leave a legacy of hope
and promise through planned gifts.
By planning ahead, your very meaningful
contribution will ensure a secure future
for Jesuits in formation and
for dignified care for senior Jesuits.
32 Jesuit
A planned gift is a gift that comes to the
province at a later date, such as a bequest,
charitable trust, gift annuity or life insurance.
