Joseph Veale SJ
Joseph Veale SJ (1921-2002) was a leading figure in the rediscovery of the individually given retreat, and in the modern renewal of Ignatian spirituality. He was noted as a sensitive and wise retreat-giver, influencing a wide range of people. In the last thirty years of his life, he wrote a series of provocative articles about Ignatius Loyola and his Exercises, about the Society of Jesus which Ignatius founded, and about current pastoral issues, notably the contemporary crisis regarding the Church and child sexual abuse.

Sacred Space is a prayer website which has achieved considerable fame since its foundation in 1999. It was created by two members of the Jesuit order, Alan McGuckian SJ and Peter Scally SJ, and was managed by the Jesuit Communication Centre, Dublin, Ireland, until June 2008.
Parts of a water clock fountain designed by Jesuit missionaries have been sold in Paris for €28,000,000 and are triggering a row between Christie’s auction house and China. The two bronze fountain-heads were part of a dozen heads from the Chinese Zodiac, and they marked the time by spouting water. They were looted from the Beijing Summer Palace by British/French forces in the Second Opium War.
