Relevance
The importance of this Institution lies on the regional influence of their activities (social service, charity works, legal assistance to immigrants, retreats and conferences) and more over, in the important networks of ex-alumni formed from ICT or any other Jesuit College. In every thing we do we use the 5 institutional values:
- Magis, that is giving the best from the best, also the most important.
- Justice in Love
- Active Commiseration
- Creative Inspiration
- Liberty and equitity.
According to the watchlists carried by ex-alumni, thousands of them are actively engaged in various tasks ranging from religious activism to social discussion forums that have nothing to do with religion. Other ten thousands of graduates from all Jesuit colleges often create and maintain ties of brotherhood for life without carrying out any religious or social work.
Those who do remain within the Catholic movement, are often grouped into different organizations under the symbol ASIA (Antiqui Societatis Iesu Alumni) a Latin term which could be translated as "former student of the Society of Jesus."
In either case, these organizations are independent of the Institute and of the Company, are not part of its structure or are funded by them in any way.

Famous quotes containing the word relevance:
“... whatever men do or know or experience can make sense only to the extent that it can be spoken about. There may be truths beyond speech, and they may be of great relevance to man in the singular, that is, to man in so far as he is not a political being, whatever else he may be. Men in the plural, that is, men in so far as they live and move and act in this world, can experience meaningfulness only because they can talk with and make sense to each other and to themselves.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
“The most striking fault in work by young or beginning novelists, submitted for criticism, is irrelevance—due either to infatuation or indecision. To direct such an author’s attention to the imperative of relevance is certainly the most useful—and possibly the only—help that can be given.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
“Wherever the relevance of speech is at stake, matters become political by definition, for speech is what makes man a political being.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
