Embracing the spirit of social justice

We’re profoundly grateful for the dedication of all our volunteers, committees, schools, and parishes who worked on a wonderful array of fundraising events and projects in 2024.

Your efforts embody the values of justice, equality and solidarity, and every dollar you’ve raised will help empower marginalised members of our global family in more than 10 countries.

"The deeper meaning of your work is the fact that you have touched the lives of people far away, people you’ve never seen before, people whose results of your efforts you will not know.,” – Fr Tony Herbert SJ, Hazaribag Missionary of over 50 years speaking at the closing mass for the 2024 Jesuit Mission Bazaar.

The best part of our day

Making calls to express our heartfelt gratitude for your contributions is one of the most rewarding things we do.

Kate, our Supporter Relations Officer, loves hearing the stories of our donors and learning about their deep, ongoing connections with our global Jesuit Mission family.

"Our donors show such compassion and love through their contributions,” she says.“They are the foundation on which the project work of Jesuit Mission can happen, and the only and natural answer is gratitude.”

Fr Paul Horan SJ, companion of Jesuit Mission and Hazaribag missionary for over 40 years, says speaking with our wonderful supporters is a reminder of the value of community and the importance of faith in giving meaning to our lives.

“We get a lot out of speaking with donors,” he says.“We get a sense of people’s faith, their loyalty to the church and to Jesuit Mission – it’s very moving.”
