What we do?
The Development Office serves as a support structure responsible for resource mobilization and fundraising efforts for the province. Its scope includes supporting province operations, formation, new apostolic initiatives, and the care of health and elderly members within the community. Additionally, it coordinates fundraising and friend-raising activities and addresses unforeseen crises affecting the community. A primary goal of the Development Office is to achieve self-sustenance through local support. The office organizes and coordinates ways for local partners, collaborators, the laity, and friends to engage and share responsibility in the mission of the Sri Lanka Jesuit Province.
