CJI annonce la nomination de sa prochaine directrice exécutive

08 novembre 2026 / Published in Non classifié(e)

CJI annonce la nomination de sa prochaine directrice exécutive

Canadian Jesuits International (CJI) a le plaisir d’annoncer la nomination de Julia Thompson au poste de directrice exécutive. 

Thompson entrera en fonction le 1er janvier 2027. Elle succède à Jenny Cafiso, qui a annoncé en juin qu’elle prendrait sa retraite à la fin du mois de décembre 2026. Cafiso a dirigé CJI pendant 23 ans. 

Forte de plus de 20 ans d’expérience en direction exécutive, en gestion de programmes, en gouvernance d’organismes à but non lucratif, ainsi qu’en développement et stabilisation organisationnels, Thompson est une spécialiste du développement international ayant travaillé tant dans les pays du Sud qu’au Canada. 

Thompson a été officiellement nommée par le père Jeffrey Burwell, SJ, provincial des jésuites du Canada, à la suite d’une recommandation du conseil d’administration de CJI et d’un comité de sélection chargé du processus de recrutement. 

« Je suis heureux d’accueillir Julia Thompson au sein de Canadian Jesuits International (CJI) en tant que nouvelle directrice exécutive. Les jésuites du Canada considèrent CJI comme une pierre angulaire de notre apostolat de justice sociale, reliant les gens au Canada à des partenaires à travers notre réseau mondial », a déclaré le père Burwell dans une déclaration écrite transmise à CJI. « Je sais que Julia trouvera un soutien dans ces relations et dans la générosité qui alimente notre mission commune. Au moment où elle assume cette responsabilité, j’ai hâte de travailler avec elle afin de préciser de quelle manière CJI peut renforcer ses liens avec nos autres apostolats et collaborateurs — en approfondissant notre engagement envers la justice par une solidarité concrète. » 

Desmond Wilson, président du conseil d’administration de CJI, a déclaré que Thompson « apporte à ce poste une combinaison unique de talents, de compétences et d’expériences qui la rendent exceptionnellement bien placée pour mener CJI vers son prochain chapitre ». 

Thompson prend la tête de CJI « à un moment important de la vie de notre organisation », a déclaré Wilson. « Après plus de deux décennies d’un leadership exceptionnel, Jenny Cafiso prend sa retraite, laissant derrière elle bien plus qu’un bilan impressionnant de réalisations. Elle nous lègue une organisation forte, confiante, profondément respectée par ses partenaires, dont la mission est claire et qui est bien positionnée pour relever les défis et saisir les occasions qui l’attendent. Nous lui sommes profondément reconnaissants pour son leadership et pour l’héritage durable qu’elle nous laisse. » 

En même temps, a ajouté Wilson, « nous envisageons l’avenir avec un immense optimisme ». Thompson « apporte une perspective mondiale, une vision stratégique et un profond attachement aux valeurs qui définissent Canadian Jesuits International ». Wilson a déclaré que le conseil d’administration de CJI est « convaincu que, sous la direction de Julia, CJI continuera de gagner en force et en impact, en approfondissant ses partenariats et en faisant progresser sa mission dans un monde en évolution rapide ». 

Cafiso a réservé un accueil chaleureux à Thompson. « Je suis ravie d’apprendre qu’une nouvelle directrice a été nommée pour mener CJI vers sa prochaine étape », a déclaré Cafiso. « Mes 23 dernières années au sein de CJI ont été riches, inspirantes et épanouissantes. Je pars le cœur rempli de gratitude. Je suis maintenant prête à passer le relais à Julia afin qu’elle mène l’organisation vers un nouveau chapitre passionnant, tout en restant fidèle à sa mission qui remonte à 75 ans. » 

Cafiso a exprimé le souhait que le mandat de Thompson au sein de CJI « soit aussi riche et gratifiant qu’il l’a été pour moi ». Elle a ajouté que Thompson « bénéficiera du soutien d’une équipe formidable, engagée et dévouée ; d’un réseau de donateurs fidèles et de partenaires inspirants à travers le monde qui deviendront ses amies et amis, ses compagnes et compagnons de route ». 

Thompson a déclaré : « La mission de CJI, qui consiste à marcher en solidarité avec les communautés vulnérables pour la justice sociale et la dignité, est une façon porteuse de vie d’être en relation et d’appartenir les uns aux autres et au monde. » Elle a ajouté : « Je suis ravie de cette occasion de servir et je suis reconnaissante envers les jésuites du Canada et le conseil d’administration de CJI pour leur confiance. J’ai hâte de travailler avec le conseil d’administration, le personnel, les partenaires et l’ensemble du réseau de CJI, ainsi que d’écouter, d’apprendre et d’avoir de nombreuses conversations à venir. » 

Avant de se joindre à CJI, Thompson a travaillé comme praticienne indépendante à Ottawa et à Toronto, offrant « des services de développement organisationnel et d’accompagnement en leadership à des organismes de développement, d’éducation, ainsi qu’à des organisations confessionnelles et responsables religieux ».  

Thompson a occupé le poste de directrice exécutive chez Help Lesotho, et le poste de cheffe de la direction (CEO) chez Common Purpose South Africa. Elle a également été gestionnaire du Programme international de formation en évaluation du développement pour l’Université Carleton et la Banque mondiale, qui réunit chaque année des participants de plus de 80 pays. 

Thompson est titulaire d’une Maîtrise ès science en politique sociale et en planification de la London School of Economics, ainsi que d’un Baccalauréat ès arts avec honneurs en études de développement international de l’Université de Toronto.

A tribute to Jenny Cafiso, CJI Executive Director: Click link in bio

Members of the CJI Board met on Saturday, October 31, to approve projects for the year 2026-2027 and to discuss various matters. They also took the occasion to give thanks to CJI Executive Director Jenny Cafiso, who has announced her retirement at the end of the year. Board Chair Desmond Wilson delivered a stirring tribute to Jenny, noting how when she assumed leadership 23 years ago, CJI "existed more as a vision than as a fully formed reality." Jenny built CJI from the ground up, he said. "There was for all intents and purposes, no established structure, no staff team, no funding base, and no portfolio of projects." What did exist, he said was that CJI "could and should stand in solidarity with those on the margins or our world." Today, Jenny leaves behind a "thriving and respected organization, with a talended and growing staff, strong partnerships around the world, dedicated donors, a substantial endowment providing long-term resilience, and a reputation that extends far beyond Canada." Her greatest achievement, however, is "the people you have inspired, the relationships you have nurtured, and the deeper understanding you have given so many of what it means to live our faith through the pursuit of justice," said Desmond.

Thank you to St. Edward's Parish in Victoria for the warm welcome you extended to CJI guest speaker Brex Arevala, an environmental activist and planner from the Philippines, who went on a lecture tour across Canada as part of CJI's fall campaign on ecological justice. 

Brex said ecological justice means putting marginalized and affected communities at the centre of environmental decisions.

Thank you to you the University of Victoria's Multi-Faith Centre for the warm welcome you extended to CJI guest speaker Brex Arevala, an environmental activist and planner from the Philippines, who went on a lecture tour across Canada as part of CJI's fall campaign on ecological justice. Brex emphasized that waste-driven, profit-centred and “linear” economic systems harm the Earth and the poor, and “false waste-to-energy” solutions only serve to deepen those harms. He called for zero-waste, community-led alternatives grounded in participation, transparency, listening, accountability and dignity.

CJI guest speaker Brex Arevalo, an environmental activist and planner from Manila, and CJI Outreach Coordinator Juan Camilo Poveda were in Vancouver last week for the last leg of the speaking tour about CJI's fall campaign focusing on ecological justice. First stop was at Vancouver College and later in the evening, at St. Mark's Parish. 

In his lecture. Brex emphasized that waste-to-energy incineration, plastic-to-fuel technologies, chemical recycling, refuse-derived fuel, bioplastics, landfill carbon capture, carbon credit schemes and biomass incineration are “false solutions” to the ecological crisis because they fail to address plastic pollution, they harm human and ecosystem health, and delay production reduction,

The Catholic Student Leadership Impact Team (CSLIT). a group of student leaders from Toronto Catholic District School Board secondary schools gathered on October 27 to listen to Brex Arevalo, a Filipino environmental activist and planner, who is touring select cities in Canada as part of CJI’s fall campaign on ecological justice. 

Brex underscored the importance of zero waste solutions as he noted how waste-driven, profit-centred development has been fuelling the ecological crisis. He noted how young people from an urban poor area in Manila have been at the forefront of the fight against an incinerator in their community.
