Synopsis
Come now and travel the wide arc of Jesuit Fr. Jack Morris’s life through his own consummate storytelling. You’ll roam with him through his spacious Montana childhood, summer in the circus, the call of joining the Jesuits, and his challenging formation as a priest. He’ll tell you how he developed the Jesuit Volunteer Corps movement, it's brave origins in wild Alaska, and how the crazy idea of the Bethlehem Peace Pilgrimage ignited him to walk almost seven-thousand miles with others from Bangor, Washington to the Holy Land to protest nuclear weapons of mass destruction. He shares what a tender grace it was to care for his dying mother, and his Jesuit Refugee Service years in companionship with Sudanese refugees in northern Uganda. A pilgrim, philosopher, and gypsy at heart, he changed every soul he encountered by pointing the way to love and mercy. Jack has passed, but thankfully he passed on to us his poignant memories of a life lived on the frontiers of the heart.

About the Author
Jack Morris, SJ, was born in Anaconda, Montana in 1927, served in the U.S. Navy before attending Georgetown University and Regis College (Denver). Jack entered the Jesuit Novitiate at Sheridan, Oregon in 1950 and was ordained a priest in 1962. Jack is most remembered for co-founding and organizing the Jesuit Volunteer Corps movement, founding the Senior Chore Services in Seattle, instigating the Bethlehem Peace Pilgrimage, an almost 7,000 mile walk from Bangor Naval Base, Washington, to Bethlehem, Israel in the early 1980s, and working for the Jesuit Refugee Service in the 1990s in Uganda, Africa. Jack started several intentional communities for peace, and lovingly pastored a number of parishes in the Oregon Province of Jesuits.
