Jesuit novitiate to return to St. Paul after year-long absence

.
The Jesuit novitiate for the provinces of Wisconsin, Detroit and Chicago is returning to its former address in St. Paul, at 1035 Summit Ave., next to St. Thomas More parish.

The site became the home for the Wisconsin province Jesuit novitiate in 1982. Previously, it was located on Finn Street, near the Uni­ver­s­ity of St. Thomas. Around 1995, it became a tri-province novitiate, serving the provinces of Wis­consin, Missouri and English-Canada.

Last year, the Wisconsin Province novitiate joined with the provinces of Detroit and Chicago for a new tri-provincial arrangement, and the novitiate house moved to Berkley, Mich. In August, it will move back to St. Paul, said Jesuit Father Luis Rodriguez, assistant provincial for the Wisconsin Province.

The provinces of Wisconsin, Detroit and Chicago currently have 21 novices. The novitiate is two years. The move will take place after novices currently in their second year take vows Aug. 15 and before the new novices enter, Father Rodriguez said. Catholic Spirit

This is step in the wrong direction for authentic Catholocism here. They are here to exploit the wealth and resources of our richer parishes, and parishioners through quiet "outreaches", suchas the outrageous heterodox speaker at Our Lady of Grace, Edina, recently, while mining for new recuits for their American Catholic Church, using the orthodox battle cry from the recent Mexican martyrs - "Christos Rey" for their heterodox liberation theology school in Minneapolis.

They will quietly mine and exploit our youth to feed their stagnating growth both in their out-of-state colleges, and in their (dis)order.

I know why Regnum Christi was expelled from the archdiocese; too orthodox with alleged shadow parish organizing, but the Jesuits are still here quietly doing exactly that but funneling the money from the rich parishioners through their "local" project - Christos Rey School - which quietly exists really to grow American Catholics, not Roman Catholic Americans.
