“Pope Francis challenged all of us Christians to serve rather than judge, to recognize the humanity of every person, to reject every form of exclusion and to work for a just world so that migrants, the poor and all those who are marginalized can live fully. He also called on us to respect our common home. His leadership has inspired me to live fully the teachings of the Gospel.” — @jennycafiso Canadian Jesuits International Executive Director.

Canadian Jesuits International (CJI) joins the world in mourning the loss of Pope Francis, the beloved champion of the poor and oppressed. The Pope died on Easter Monday at the Vatican's Casa Santa Marta. He was 88. As the international solidarity agency of the Jesuits of Canada supporting the poor and marginalized in the Global South, CJI honours the Pope's work in highlighting the plight of the poor, the climate crisis and the urgent need for social justice. "Pope Francis challenged all of us Christians to serve rather than judge, to recognize the humanity of every person, to reject every form of exclusion and to work for a more just world so that migrants, the poor and all those who are marginalized can live fully. He also called on us to respect our common home,” said CJI Executive Director Jenny Cafiso. “His leadership has inspired me to live fully the teachings of the Gospel.” In his apostolic exhortation, Evangelii Gaudium (The Joy of the Gospel), Pope Francis denounced inequality, “an economy of exclusion,” and a financial system “which rules rather than serves.” “Just as the commandment ‘Thou shalt not kill’ sets a clear limit in order to safeguard the value of human life, today we also have to say ‘thou shalt not’ to an economy of exclusion and inequality. Such an economy kills,” said Pope Francis, who in 2013 became the first Jesuit and Latin American pontiff. Read the full statement: Click link in bio to visit our website.

Canadian Jesuits International (CJI) stands in solidarity with those seeking safety and dignity. #DYK CJI supports a project by Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS) Venezuela that addresses the ongoing migration crisis affecting millions of Venezuelans. 🇻🇪 More than 7.7 million people—20% of Venezuela’s population—have left the country since 2014 due to a severe economic and political crisis. This is Latin America’s largest exodus in recent history and one of the world’s most pressing displacement crises, according to the UN. The JRS Venezuela project: 🔹 Raises awareness of the risks of migration and the need for protection 🔹 Promotes reconciliation and addressing xenophobia between migrants and host communities 🔹 Provides food aid to teachers in Zulia, Táchira, and the Capital District to reduce absenteeism caused by food insecurity 🔹 Hosts workshops on informed, safe migration and community-building Many migrants face unimaginable dangers on their journey, especially through the perilous Darién Gap, where they are vulnerable to violence, trafficking, and other threats.
