Arturo Sosa, born on November twelfth, nineteen forty-eight, is a distinguished Venezuelan Catholic priest and philosopher. He has made significant contributions to the Society of Jesus, where he currently serves as the thirty-first superior general, a position he has held since two thousand sixteen.
His election came during the Society's thirty-sixth General Congregation, where he succeeded Adolfo Nicolás. This pivotal moment marked a historic achievement, as Sosa became the first individual from Latin America to lead the Jesuits, a testament to his leadership and dedication to the order.
Throughout his tenure, Sosa has focused on the Society's mission of education, social justice, and spiritual development, guiding Jesuits around the world in their commitment to service and faith.
