The
Jesuits in Peru : El Augustino Parish
In
1965, a new district was formed at the eastern edge of Lima,
Peru and became known as El Augustino. The original residents
that came to El Augustino struggled, but had a dream of a better
life. Three years later the Society of Jesus, recognizing the
dire need, established the Virgin de Nazaret Parish. This video
examines the genesis and development of both the neighborhood
and parish.

Millennium Perspective

Explaining the bond between the Jesuits overseas and the benefactors
back in the United States, one missionary perhaps puts it best,

who have given so generously to the international missions of
the Chicago Province of the Society of Jesus. |
