JCAM 2023 01 Annual Review Le琀琀er from the President Fr. José Minaku Lukoli, SJ - President of JCAM I was welcomed into this office of President of the Jesuit Conference of Africa and Madagascar on 31st July 2023 in a moving ceremony involving all of the staff of JCAM and my brother Jesuits. Blessings were asked for and have indeed been given. Our God is a God who seeks peace and justice and who shares with us love and mercy. In so many ways that also sums up the mission of JCAM as we seek to support and coordinate the work of the Society of Jesus in this continent, in a difficult moment. Of course, I already know JCAM well! As a Provincial Superior of the Central Africa Province, I have had a long association with my fellow Provincial Superiors who are JCAM and also with the outgoing JCAM President, Fr Agbonkhianmeghe E. Orobator, SJ. But no matter how well one knows something already, one sees it from a new perspective from this office of the President. I am delighted to introduce this review of JCAM’s work for 2023. I hope that many eyes will enjoy it – the many younger Jesuits who are in training or studies; the many Jesuits who work across the Conference supported by so many lay women and men with whom we collaborate in the mission of Our Lord; all of their families and friends; and especially the many people who support our mission in such generous ways. This record of achievement is a record of your generosity and you deserve a particular word of thanks. Please remember us here in JCAM in your prayers as we do yours and enjoy this Review; none of it is possible without all of you. Thank you! Fr. José Minaku Lukoli, SJ - President of JCAM
