The information arrived from "Kevin-sensei" of Georgetown University--everybody is of course welcome:
There will be film tonight on Fr. Pedro Arrupe, S.J. who was Superior General of the Jesuits and a long time missionary in Japan.
He was living in Hiroshima when the atomic bomb fell in 1945. As a trained doctor he headed the first rescue party to arrive in Hiroshima after the atomic bomb. This is a wonderful event that shows the intimate connection between the Society of Jesus (and hence, Georgetown University) and Japan. (by the way, the recently elected Superior General of the Jesuits, Fr. Adolfo Nicolás, S.J. also comes from Japan where he has lived for many years and speaks Japanese)
This film will be showing at the Jesuit Residence today, Tuesday, Jan 29, at 7:30pm. Refreshments will be served.
This informatio is available also here.
