An
address by Fr. Edward W. Schmidt, SJ, provincial of the Chicago
Province of the Society of Jesus, to delegates of the Chicago Province
Congregation
In early January 2007, 55 Jesuits who have been elected or appointed
to serve as delegates to the Chicago Province Congregation met in
Chicago. The purpose of the regional congregation was to elect a
delegate who will travel to Rome in early 2008 for the 35th General
Congregation of the worldwide Society of Jesus, which will elect
a new Superior General and discuss seminal issues of concern to
the Society. After celebrating the opening liturgy, Fr. Provincial
Edward W. Schmidt, SJ, delivered a State of the Province Address
that offered a status report on the health of the province and highlighted
key concerns and challenges facing the province in the years ahead.
