South Asia – East Asia and Oceania Joint Tertianship

The collaborative effort of the two Asian assistancies made possible the setting up of an international tertianship program. A Jesuit priest or brother spends his final period of religious formation in an atmosphere of deep prayer, intensifying his personal relationship with God, and sharing his experience with other Jesuits of varied socio-cultural backgrounds. Together, they become “friends in the Lord through an Asian way.”

The tertians are accommodated at Arrupe House, 15/10 Dutugemunu Mawatha Lewella, Kandy, 20000, Sri Lanka. For the September 2008 – February 2009 program, the directors are Fr. John Joseph Amalados (johnjoesj@yahoo.co.in) and Fr. Laurentius Priyo Poedjiono (IDO) (priyosj@gmail.com).
