Dushan Croos SJ

The social apostolate strand of my formation has been intertwined with a more catechetical strand.  Without wanting simply to "convert" people, I think that our social apostolate cannot be simply doing, but does need an element of witnessing to Christ in action, but also more explicitly in words.  This, probably, because I still have a question about what is characteristic of our social apostolate with respect to people who don't consider themselves part of the Church or people who don't feel at home in the Church.

Reflecting intellectually on social reality in the light of faith in an all-loving God, that is theologically, should be a characteristically Jesuit contribution to wider society, although it is difficult, in practice, to do this.
