Alumni Associations
- The Former Students Federation of Jesuit Schools is a movement of those who have done their studies in any of the Jesuit Institutions. “As far as resources permit, the school will offer guidance and ongoing formation so that those who received basic formation in the school can be more effective in putting their formation into practice in adult life and can continue to deepan their dedication to the service of others” (COJE).
- “The Society if ready to assist in every project that Jesuit Association shall undertake, but the initiative and the final responsibility has to remain with former students themselves. We can inspire, we can collaborate but the planning and the responsibility shall be with them”. (Pedro Arruppe)
