Addresses at General Congregations

More famous for their promulgated decrees, the General Congregations also feature important addresses, homilies, and statements–remarks that help guide the work of the Jesuit delegates assembled at the congregations but also the subsequent work at the Jesuit apostolates around the globe. Below is a selection of those addresses from the most recent General Congregations. For more addresses (and the decrees and historical contexts), please consult Jesuit Life & Mission Today.
