"Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the caldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg and howlet's wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Cool it with a baboon's blood,
Then the charm is firm and good."

JST Enneagram and Self-Discovery Workshop
Wednesday, Nov. 9 | 2:00-7:00pm | JST 216
The Enneagram is an ancient wisdom tradition for understanding the dynamics of personality: both one’s giftedness and one’s challenges. This workshop for JST students, hosted by Bruce Lescher and Clare Ronzani, will offer an overview of the Enneagram and a basic introduction to the nine Enneagram “types.” Participants will be asked to fill out an informal Enneagram self-test before coming to the workshop.
Clare Ronzani and Bruce Lescher have both taught courses in spirituality at the Jesuit School of Theology and the Graduate Program in Pastoral Ministries of Santa Clara University. Clare has served as JST’s career advisor; Bruce as Associate Academic Dean. Both are experienced spiritual directors and retreat leaders.
Participants are requested to complete an Enneagram self-test prior to the workshop. Please register with Deborah Ross (dross@scu.edu) by Nov. 2 to receive the self-test and suggested reading. |

Prophetic Communities: Organizing as an Expression of Catholic Social Thought
University of San Francisco | Thursday February 9th -Saturday February 11th, 2023
English with simulcast interpretation to Spanish
This conference will explore how Catholic theology and social thought has given rise to community organizing and how community organizers embody and shape the Catholic social tradition. Convened at the University of San Francisco, this three-day event will bring together scholars across disciplines with community organizers of various networks to build relationships, knowledge, and capacity for theological reflection and praxis. Our hope is that bridging the church, academy, and social movements, this conference will foster the solidarity and synodality that Pope Francis has envisioned.

Inaugural Thea Bowman Lecture | Dr. M. Shawn Copeland
Tuesday, November 15, 2022 | 6:00-7:15pm | JST Gesu Chapel
Thea Bowman repeatedly urged that Black Catholics come to our Church “fully functioning,” that is, bring our gifts of history, tradition, experience, and culture; at the same time, she recognized that even should those gifts be ignored, neglected, or refused, Black Catholics must continue to present them. Thea Bowman’s life exemplifies the radical transcendence of Black Catholic life–walking in uncommon faithfulness, daring freedom, reaching out in solidarity to ‘others,’ transcending arbitrary limitations, striving to realize the radical potential of grace.
Dr. M. Shawn Copeland is Professor Emerita of Systematic Theology and the Program in African and African Diaspora Studies at Boston College. Professor Copeland is an award-winning writer and has lectured extensively across the world.
