Dear JST Community,

With three weeks left in the semester, fatigue and zoom fatigue may be setting in!  As we enter into this fourth week of Easter, let us ask God to sustain us in Easter hope and Easter joy.

All are invited to our community conversation online this Tuesday, May 5:  “Formation and Transformation:  Who Are We Becoming?”  We will reflect together on how God is re-making us anew in this time of time of COVID-19, as individuals, as ministerial leaders, as a community.

Virtual evening prayer gatherings continue at 8 p.m.  Thank you to Thomas Bambrick, SJ, Sebastian Budinich, and Dayne Malcolm, SJ for organizing these.

Peace and blessings,

Paul
