The Casa Romero Board of Directors and the Midwest Province of the Society of Jesus are pleased to announce that Jill Drzewiecki has been appointed as Casa’s Executive Director effective October 14, 2025.

Jill brings many years of dedicated service and leadership among people on society’s margins, including immigrants and migrants, both domestically and internationally. She has been motivated in this service by both St. Ignatius and St. Oscar Romero (her favorite saint)! She comes to Casa Romero with some established Jesuit roots, having spent nearly a decade working for Jesuit Refugee Services in Rome.

Jill succeeds Michael Coffey who took over from Casa’s founder, Fr. David Shields, SJ, in 2018.
