Pope Francis made an Apostolic Journey to Mauritius on September 9 and prayed at the shrine dedicated to Blessed Jacques Laval, a Spiritan missionary priest whose influence on the island in the mid 1800s earned him the nickname, "the Apostle of Mauritius."

On September 9, we celebrate the Feast of Blessed Jacques Laval to honor the “Apostle of Mauritius,” a man who worked tirelessly to empower and care for a forgotten people.

Lay Spiritan Dr. Anne Marie Hansen appears on the cover of the Summer 2019 Spiritan magazine, a publication of the Congregation of the Holy Spirit TransCanada Province. In this issue, read about the Mirembe Women's Project and important work being done by the Volunteer International Christian Service (VICS), a lay organization for Canadian citizens established by the Spiritans in 1971.

It was a joyous celebration as Matthew Broeren, C.S.Sp., made his First Profession of Vows as a member of the Congregation of the Holy Spirit.
