Arrupe SJ, Pedro
Pedro Arrupe SJ was a Spanish Jesuit priest who served as the twenty-eighth Superior General of the Society of Jesus.
The defining moment of Arrupe’s leadership of the Jesuits was the thirty-second General Congregation, which convened in 1975. Arrupe’s dream of working for the poor was crystalized in the document, Our Mission Today: the Service of Faith and the Promotion of Justice which states: “Our faith in Jesus Christ and our mission to proclaim the Gospel demand of us a commitment to promote justice and enter into solidarity with the voiceless and the powerless.”
