The secretariat for Service of Faith is an umbrella term under which the four commissions of JEPASA, JIGSA, IRD and PWPN are subsumed. It was restricted in its present form after REGAE-II, through a decision taken by JCSA in October 2019 at Ranchi.
The Secretariat for the Service of Faith for South Asian Assistancy advises POSA and his team on the main issues that the Society must address in the Service of the Faith. It collaborates with the other Province Secretariats to animate the service of faith in all apostolic sectors, while also being responsible for coordinating and supporting the work of Jesuits and our co-workers in the sector of Pastoral Ministry and Spirituality, with particular attention to the ministry of the Spiritual Exercises. The Secretariat coordinates the Secretariat for Ecumenical and Inter-religious Relations and serves as liaison to Groups working in Ecumenism and Inter-religious Dialogue.
