Descripción

Around Christmas 1979, the drama lived out by the boat people had struck Father Arrupe. During the year 1980, Father Arrupe had consulted and prayed, trying to find a way for the Society of Jesus to bring consolation and support to the people swept away by such tragedies. From there came the intuition to create a Jesuit refugee service. Father Arrupe explained the reasons for such a decision in this letter to Major Superiors, dated 14 November 1980.
