Provincial’s Message
Today, we cannot imagine life without media, especially internet and social media. The Society of Jesus is in a new era of communication in service of the mission. While addressing the Roman Curia Communication Team, Fr. Arturo Sosa, General of the Society of Jesus, said that Communication is in the Jesuit DNA; it was “almost an obsession” for St. Ignatius and it has been a key principle for the Society of Jesus since its foundation. Website is a medium, an important form of communication. It is a medium to convey specific and helpful information to a specific user/audience so that the reader learns something new and understands the subject better. As the Madhya Pradesh Province launches its website, it intends to follow the path showed by GC 36 that the Society of Jesus, and more specially the Madhya Pradesh Province can benefit much from a better communication system. Through the website MP Province intends to share information that will help it accomplish the mission entrusted to it by the Society of Jesus and the Church.
