Jesuit Service Cambodia had a Team meeting at the JSC Reflection Center, Siem Reap from February 7 – 9, to reflect on the work done by this mission and to look at planning for the future. The meeting was a chance to “celebrate the past” and “look to the future with hope”.

EAPI Auditorium to be renamed Nicolas Auditorium.  In a decision during a EAPI Staff Meeting held here right after Fr. Adolfo Nicolas’ election as the new Superior General of the Society of Jesus, it was unanimously agreed that the EAPI Auditorium will be renamed Nicolas Auditorium in his honor.  Happily, it was pointed out that it is a rare and momentous event indeed that a former EAPI Director is elected as the Superior General! In related news, the EAPI Library is also being named effectively as Francis X. Clark Library.

Fr Daniel Huang, Philippine Provincial, was appointed as one of General Counselors of Father General, and Regional Assistant for East Asia and Oceania. Fr. General gave him up to about a year to prepare for this new assignment. After the General Congregation, Fr Huang will go home, to tie up loose ends, but mostly, to set in motion the search process for a new Provincial.  During this period, he may attend some meetings in Rome.
