John - Reporting on our El Salvador pilgrimage and announcing our programs this winter, may this edition of News and Voices bring light!

John,

Greetings on this Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe! May the perennial pertinence of her story continue finding ways to inspire and bring consolation to all on the margins. In that vein, we launch the Light in the Darkness ([link removed]) vigils today, a campaign that runs through January 1 to demonstrate solidarity with our migrant sisters and brothers.

Last month, a delegation of ISN pilgrims joined the Salvadoran faithful ([link removed]) on the UCA campus to commemorate the lives of the six Jesuits and two laywomen martyred for their gospel witness 35 years ago. Our ISN family continues to expand as Saint Louis University joined the Catholic Ethical Purchasing Alliance ([link removed]) as a bookstore partner and Saint Thomas University joined as an ISN institutional partner ([link removed]) !

ISN joined thousands of signatories from the global Ignatian family who demanded action from the delegates ([link removed]) attending the 2024 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP29) in Baku, Azerbaijan. Finally, ISN board member Jamal Adams ([link removed]) was named the next president of Loyola High School of Los Angeles!

Wishing a blessed advent to all. Kindly consider ISN in your end-of-year giving, which will be doubled by the generous support of the ISN Board of Directors ([link removed]) !

In solidarity,
