Young people and Jesuits go ‘Nationwide’

RTE 1 TV will broadcast a special Holy Week feature on their popular Nationwide programme on Wed 8 April ’09 at 7pm. Young people working on Jesuit projects with prisoners, immigrants, the homeless and people going back to college are interviewed in the programme which explores how they are living out their faith in modern Ireland. Slí Eile, Jesuit University Support & Training (JUST) in Ballymun, and students from Clongowes who are teaching English to immigrants as part of a Jesuit Refugee Service project all feature. Gerry O’Hanlon SJ, acting director of the Jesuit Centre for Faith and Justice, gives an overview of the work of the young adults in the context of a ‘faith that does justice, finding God in all things’.
