What is JESAM all about?

It is an interprovincial organisation at the service of Jesuits of Africa and Madagascar for the management of the African Assistancy's common houses of Jesuits in formation. There are currently three such houses, namely, Arrupe College Jesuit School of Philosophy and Humanities in Harare, Zimbabwe; Hekima College Jesuit School of Theology in Nairobi, Kenya; and Institut de Théologie de la Compagnie de Jésus, in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire.

The current moderator of JESAM is Rev. Fr. Michael Lewis, SJ. Click here for the administrative organisation of JESAM.

From the President's Desk

At the end of the calendar year it is always good to look back at the last twelve months to see how we have responded to our Christian and Jesuit vocation in Africa and Madagascar. The Major Superiors of JESAM bade farewell to Fratern Masawe, Peter Bwanali and George Quickley. We welcomed Emmanuel Mumba and Jude Odiaka to the Conference. The various commissions have met to find ways of utilising our multi‐faceted mission in Africa and Madagascar. For details click on the image below
