"The Jesuits have helped influence and shape my life tremendously from my days at Jesuit in Houston to BC. Jesuit Connection is an opportunity to continue to grow in the Jesuit tradition and get to know others who have been touched by the Jesuits, as well as to give back to the Society in some small way."

"The community, philosophy, values, and spirituality that I encountered as an undergraduate at a Jesuit university greatly influenced my personal growth and development.  The Jesuit Connection offers me the chance to continue to include these things in my post-graduate life.”

“The Jesuits played an integral role in my spiritual formation throughout college and law school.  I’m interested in keeping the Society and Ignatian spirituality alive in my post-graduate life.  The Jesuit Connection provides that opportunity.  It also allows for young adults to meet new people who have similar faith backgrounds and formation.”

"The unique opportunity to connect with Jesuits and those touched by Jesuit ideals, further develop and enrich my Catholic faith, and serve others within the community through the Jesuit Connection is very exciting to me. Being a part of the Jesuit Connection now allows me to continue to experience the wonderful community I found as a student at Boston College."
