Meet the new Assistant for Vocations<br />
Please welcome Fr. William Njenga Mbugua, S.J., who will assume the role <strong>of</strong><br />
Assistant for Vocations for the <strong>Jesuits</strong> in English <strong>Canada</strong> Province on August 1, 2012.<br />
Fr. Mbugua was born in Kenya. He is the ninth child from a deeply religious family <strong>of</strong> six<br />
sisters and six brothers. He moved to <strong>Canada</strong> for university studies and planned to return<br />
to his native Kenya, but while in Winnipeg he met the <strong>Jesuits</strong> at St. Ignatius Parish<br />
and his plans changed.<br />
After much discernment, Fr. Mbugua entered the Society <strong>of</strong> Jesus in 2001. Studies in<br />
Philosophy and <strong>The</strong>ology followed while Regency formation with AJAN, (African <strong>Jesuits</strong> AIDS Network),<br />
allowed Fr. Mbugua to connect with those suffering from HIV/AIDS in Africa. He has also worked with the<br />
youth at Our Lady <strong>of</strong> Lourdes Parish in Toronto.<br />
Fr. Mbugua was ordained in 2011 and is about to complete his graduate studies in theology at Regis College<br />
in Toronto. After August 1, he may be reached via email at vocation@jesuits.ca<br />
Jesuit inspiration<br />
“Take, O Lord and receive all my liberty, my memory,<br />
my understanding and my entire will. All I own and<br />
possess I have from you. To you I return it. It is all<br />
yours, do with it what you will. Give me only your love<br />
and your grace, that is enough for me.”<br />
- St. Ignatius Loyola<br />
