Your support of the Jesuits of the Wisconsin Province makes a difference around the world. You can see and hear the joy as these children at St. Francis Xavier school in Kidima, India sing “All Things Bright and Beautiful” to greet Wisconsin Provincial Fr. Tom Krettek, S.J. Along with visiting the work in the Kohima region, which the Wisconsin Province has a twinning relationship with, Fr. Krettek helped dedicate the new novitiate, where former provincial Fr. Jim Grummer, SJ had blessed the foundation stone years earlier.
