Universal Apostolic Preferences of the Society of Jesus (UAPs)

The Universal Apostolic Preferences (UAPs) are the fruit of a process of discernment by Jesuits and their mission partners. Confirmed by Pope Francis, the Preferences give a horizon and a point of reference to the whole Society of Jesus, and to Jesuit ministries. The Preferences address creatively four areas vital for our world today, to which the Society of Jesus will pay special attention over the next ten years [paraphrased from the UAPs website]. The UAPs serve as an important guiding force for the Mission Priority Examen.
