Congratulations to the five members of Jesuits West who were ordained priests at St. Ignatius Loyola Parish in Sacramento on June 13: Edward H. Chow, SJ, Shane Liesegang, SJ, Daniel Mascarenhas, SJ, Chinh (Chris) Nguyen, SJ, and Victor Pro Yanez, SJ. AMDG!

Most people know that Jesuit formation takes a long time, but fewer know about tertianship — a stage of renewal and recommitment that prepares a Jesuit for final vows.

On this episode of the AMDG podcast, Eric Clayton talks with Fr. Andrew Laguna, SJ, of Jesuits West, who recently returned from tertianship in Salamanca, Spain. Fr. Laguna breaks down what tertianship is, why it’s important, what graces he experienced while there and more.
