The Province of Indico-Pacific welcomes the Presence of Thailand

In the recent circular letter of Mother General, Graciela Francovig to all the sisters, she announced that “Thailand has officially become a part of the Indico-Pacific Province (CFI 275). This transition is marked by the inclusion of Thailand, previously belonging to the province of Asia Oriental, into the welcoming fold of Indico-Pacific.

While the shift sees Thailand formally joining Indico-Pacific, the statement also emphasizes the continuation of the strong relationship and collaboration on the part of Asia Oriental. The leaders stressed that despite the changes, the two provinces remain interconnected as we are One Body. The move is particularly noteworthy due to the valued work and collaboration between Thailand and the Jesuit Refugee Service. The Jesuit Refugee Service plays a crucial role in providing support to refugees globally, and Thailand's presence within the Indico-Pacific Province is expected to strengthen this mission and facilitate the sending and also fostering collaboration with the Asia Oriental. Mother General emphasized the unity of the Body as stated above.
