May 24, 2019 | For more than 450 years the Society of Jesus has embodied a global mission. From St. Francis Xavier through Pope Francis, Jesuits have traveled to the ends of the earth, seeking to spread the Gospel and advance intercultural and interreligious dialogue in the service of global humanity.

To celebrate the centennial of the Walsh School of Foreign Service (SFS), Georgetown University hosted a conference in Rome on the past and future of Jesuit global engagement. As the oldest Catholic and Jesuit university in the United States, located in Washington, D.C., and open to students of all nations, cultures, and religions, Georgetown has always had a strong international orientation. The establishment of SFS in 1919 as the first school of international studies in the country marked an historic milestone. Through the vision and leadership of its founder, Fr. Edmund J. Walsh, S.J. (1885-1956), SFS developed the global horizon of the Society of Jesus in a new direction—the training of new generations of leaders in government, business, and civil society to grapple with the world’s most pressing challenges.
