Meet the Chicago Seven.

The fall issue of Partners, the Chicago Province magazine, includes a group photo and profiles of this year's Chi Prov primi, available online in PDF format. At some point Company will have photos and short bios of all the novices in the country online, and I'll post a link when they do. In the meantime, you'll have to settle for the piece in Partners; also worth looking at in the same issue are neat articles on the Cristo Rey schools and on the life of Father Ben Morin, a Chicago Jesuit who spent three and a half years as a POW during World War II and later served in Peru for 38 years. Ben is a really a cool guy and his story is worth reading. Cristo Rey Jesuit High School in Chicago has been a national model and was the subject of a recent 60 Minutes profile; Partners provides an interesting inside account of the school's founding and early years and relates how its success has been duplicated elsewhere. Lots of good reading, hope you enjoy it. AMDG.
