For nearly two decades, the Provincial’s Dinner has been a cherished gathering — a moment for friends, benefactors, and Jesuits to come together in gratitude and shared purpose. This year, as we prepare to meet once again at Bellvue Manor in Vaughan, our hearts are drawn not only to celebration, but to the men whose lives of quiet service continue to inspire us all.

Each Jesuit, whether in active ministry or in the later years of his vocation, remains a living witness to the mission entrusted to us by St. Ignatius — to seek God in all things and to serve generously wherever we are called. Many of our elder brothers, who have spent decades in classrooms, parishes, retreat houses, and missions across Canada and beyond, now need our care. It is both our privilege and our sacred responsibility to accompany them with the same compassion they have so long extended to others.

The reality is simple but profound: it costs approximately $60,000 each year to care for one senior Jesuit. Behind that number are the faces and stories of men who have baptized our children, taught our students, and offered wisdom and comfort in times of need. Your support ensures they receive the dignity, attention, and community they deserve.

We have our Annual Provincial’s Dinner each year to help support them and raise money to go towards their care. This year, it will be held on April 29, 2026. It is a lively night filled with great food, drinks and company where we celebrate those who always support us. This year, we will present the Magis Award to two remarkable individuals whose lives reflect the Ignatian values of love and service.
