Overview
•The Conference of European Provincials (CEP) creates a forum which enables the European Jesuit Major Superiors to meet, to collaborate, to plan and to pray together. Like the other four conferences of the Society the CEP has a President who is appointed by Father General for a term of four years. The current President is Mark Rotsaert from the North Belgian province and his Assistant is Dermot O’Connor from the Irish province.
• The membership of the conference includes all the European provincials and vice-provincials, and the regional superiors of the Russian Region and of the Maghreb. There are 34 members including the President.
• The privileged moment of the conference is the General Assembly which is held each year in a different European country. There, over the period of a week, the provincials meet each other, discuss common issues and projects, vote on a common budget and assess the progress of the works and communities which they have initiated at European level. Obviously it is also a golden opportunity for provincials to form new friendships and to discover new possibilities for interprovincial cooperation and support.
• The President has a council comprised of the moderators of the three European assistancies, two members who are not provincials and the President’s Assistant. This council usually meets four times every year and is an important instrument in advancing the decisions and policies of the General Assembly.
• The CEP supports five important common works in Brussels which are focussed particularly at European level: JRS-Europe; OCIPE; the Foyer Catholique Européen; the Chapel of the Resurrection and the responsibility for Catholic religious education in the European schools in Brussels.
• Jesuit European groups are considered as privileged means to foster interprovincial collaboration within the Society of Jesus in Europe in its different areas of activity.
• At present there are two Jesuit European communities under the direct jurisdiction of the President: the St. Benedict community in Brussels and the tertianship of the CEP in Dublin.
• The President has two delegates: Fr Brendan MacPartlin who is responsible for the collaboration and coordination of the social apostolate at European level and Fr Severin Leitner, delegate for the 11 European Jesuit formation centres (philosophy and theology). He is responsible for visiting the centres and for ensuring that the Guidelines laid down by the CEP are implemented.
Since end 2009 there is a CEP Migration Desk in Brussels with Luis Miguel Muñoz (TAR) as director.
• The CEP has a webmaster, Fr Philip Debruyne who also publishes an electronic news service "Jesuits in Europe" which helps to develop a better understanding of common Jesuit concerns in Europe. It collects and distributes information of supra provincial interest and encourages communication and collaboration among groups and individuals.
