JRS hosted the ‘Faith in Action’ event on 16 November 2019 in the Curia Generalizia of the Society of Jesus.

The day brought together partners in our mission, to acknowledge and extend our gratitude for their service to refugees around the world. We shared an opportunity for reflection, updated on our work in the field, and offered a forum to share our experiences and learn from what others are doing.

During the event, we asked speakers to share what “Faith in Action” means to them.

Fr Thomas H. Smolich SJ: “Faith needs to be done tangibly.”

Sr Florence de la Villeon: “It’s part of my vocation.”

Sr Rebecca Abiyo: “Restoring peace and love for refugees.”

Fr Daisuke Narui: “Faith is the essential foundation of one human being.”

Fr Joseph Cassar SJ: “Everything should flow from faith.”

Sr Maria José Rey Merodio: “The base principle of being a Christian.”
