Hard to believe a year has passed since we first received ACTS in our mailbox (or spambox, as the case may be).

While it was started as a ministry to young men here in the Northwest, ACTS has blossomed into a fully global blog read by hundreds of people all over the world. That’s right, ACTS is read all over the US, Canada, and Mexico and also in distant lands such as Singapore, Germany, Ireland, the Philippines, Australia, Indonesia, the UAE, India, and Spain (yes, big brother is watching). Who would’ve thought!

Besides Jack’s popular column, “Finding God”, dozens of Jesuits have contributed to ACTS so far and we recently starting asking men to focus on “the Big 3″, as they answer questions about the vocational connection between joy, gifts, and needs. On this occasion of our first year anniversary, Jack and I have migrated the blog (yes, it’s not just an email, you know) on to the vocation nwjesuits.info server and we plan to add a lot of new functions and gizmos in coming months.

In response to many requests, we have opened the blog up to comments but you’ll need to register and login (thank God for browsers that save passwords!).

Visit the new site today and let us know if you’d be willing to contribute your homilies, poetry, or personal story to the world of ACTS.
