Helping Aging and Infirm Jesuits

No Jesuit is ever without a mission. The men in the Jesuit Health and Wellness Center (JHWC) are missioned to pray for the Society of Jesus and all of God’s people. These men are our prayer warriors, our constant intercessors both for the mission of the Province and especially for all our benefactors, our partners in mission.

Aged and infirm Jesuits have spent long years as teachers in our Ateneos, as parish priests, retreat directors, and counselors.  Now they need care themselves.

From formation until death, the Philippine Province assumes costs of training, living, health and medical expenses of our priests.

On average, there are 25-27 men in the JHWC. Cost of care are as follows:
