From June 19-21, 2025, the Indonesian Province of the Society of Jesus (Provindo) held an event for local superiors. This meeting was new, as past meetings often included work directors. There are 16 communities in Provindo with 16 local superiors, but two could not attend due to other commitments.
The main theme was Personal and Apostolic Care, with three speakers: Provincial, Socius, and Mr. R. Y. Kristian Hardianto. Mr Hardianto shared his experiences leading a company and caring for employee well-being. The Provincial encouraged superiors to discuss their efforts in supporting community members and their experiences while the Socius presented the current guidelines for local superiors issued by the Roman Curia.
The meeting included a jeep tour of Mount Lawu, visiting Jumog Waterfall and Sukuh Temple. The superiors enjoyed the meeting, hoping it would inspire them in their roles leading apostolic communities.
