About
- Have you ever wanted to hear from the guest speakers that visit our campus and engage with our students?
- Have you ever wondered about the Annual Social Justice Summit that is held at Jesuit each year?
- Here is an opportunity to satisfy your curiosity!
As a new way to provide education and inspiration to our Jesuit community and the public at large, President Rev. John P. McGarry, S.J., is pleased to announce the addition of the inaugural President’s Ignatian Lecture Series. The inaugural speaker will be Rev. Alfred C. Kammer, S.J.
Timed to coincide with our 13th Annual Social Justice Summit, this new programming supports Jesuit High School’s religious core in the area of Adult Ignatian Formation. Think of it as spiritual “adult continuing education.”
The 2020 theme of our summit is Economic Justice, this evening’s public lecture by Rev. Alfred C. Kammer, S.J., will define and connect that topic to our local Sacramento region and the importance of confronting poverty.
Fr. Kammer is the Executive Director of the Jesuit Institute for Social Research in New Orleans, Louisiana, and a long-time colleague and friend of our own Fr. McGarry. Both brother Jesuits have long worked together for the betterment of the various communities in which they live, despite being separated by 2,500 miles.
Both were the provincials of their respective provinces at the same time - Fr. Kammer at the New Orleans Province and Fr. McGarry at the (then) California Province of the Society of Jesus. It was in 2005, shortly after watching the remarkable efforts of Fr. Kammer in response to Hurricane Katrina, that Fr. McGarry, on behalf of the CA Province, gifted New Orleans the funding to establish the now-robust Jesuit Social Research Institute at Loyola University New Orleans.
Speaker Bio
“As a follower of Jesus, Fr. Kammer lives a faith that seeks justice for all people in the world. He will offer insight and inspiration, affirmation and challenge, as we all seek to learn, pray, and grow in our faith and our call to serve.”
–Rev. John P. McGarry, S.J.
