Jesuit Alumni in Arizona

Some 2,000 of us, the Jesuit Alumni in Arizona, are graduates of 28 Jesuit universities and 47 Jesuit high schools in the United States now living in Arizona. We meet periodically to celebrate our Jesuit backgrounds, to stimulate and encourage one another to be thinking Christians, vocal citizens of our Church, our city, our state, and our nation, to have life and have it more abundantly.
