The Chinese Province of the Society of Jesus is preparing to establish a “Jesuit Volunteer” service, which may be called “Matteo Ricci Volunteers.” These full-time or part-time volunteers, either young adults or retired (semi-retired) persons, will work in apostolic works related to the mission of the Society of Jesus on the territory of the Chinese Province (China Mainland, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan.) The Society of Jesus will provide spiritual formation and spiritual accompaniment to the volunteers, based on Ignatian spirituality.

The Chinese Province is now looking for a lay Catholic to start the project and manage it on a long-term basis. This is a paid job, open to either male or female applicants, based in Taiwan, Hong Kong or Macau. The manager will be incorporated into the employee system of the Society of Jesus, with related benefits.

The manager will have to establish the basic structure of the volunteer service. He (she) will also have to (1) come to a deeper knowledge of the apostolic institutions, (2) understand the concrete needs for volunteers and (3) establish networks.

The manager must have a good knowledge of the Society of Jesus, have done the Spiritual Exercises and have a strong sense of mission. He (she) should already have at least seven years of experience in the management of tasks and of people, and must be able to work independently while also being good at teamwork. The applicant must be a college graduate, and be fluent in Mandarin and English. The work will involve much travel. We expect the manager to be aged between 30 and 50.

Employment will begin on August 1, 2008. Interested applicants should send their resume, autobiography, and copy of their academic degrees before April 30, to either of the following addresses:

Rev. Luciano Morra S.J.

Largo de Sto. Agostinho, 4
