Jesuit Novice Tony Cortese: Rules and Rebellion

Many students first saw Tony Cortese sitting in Benson behind a sign that said, “Hi, I’m Tony, a Jesuit Novice. I’m available to chat. Disclaimer: I’m not here to preach, to judge or to be obnoxiously religious.” Tony is a Jesuit novice at Santa Clara, meaning he is in the second year of a 10-year process of becoming a Jesuit priest. He will take the three Jesuit vows of poverty, chastity and obedience this August. On campus, he has spent time in Campus Ministry, with SCCAP, and getting to know students.

Tony will spend the summer at a language school in Tijuana, take vows at Santa Clara in August, then attend Fordham University for a Masters in Philosophy starting this fall. Tony will only be at Santa Clara through May 22, so make sure to say hello before he continues his journey.
