Finding God in All Things
Our parishioners explore Ignatian spirituality through faith formation, retreats, service opportunities, and spiritual direction. The eloquent, dual motto “Inward Reflection Outward Action” characterizes the gift (charism) of discernment which is typical of a Jesuit parish. All we are and do comes from the life of Jesus Christ interior to each member, inspiring all of us to outward discipleship and service.
What is a Jesuit?
Jesuits are members of the Society of Jesus, a male religious order founded by St. Ignatius in 1534. The Society is composed of nearly 20,000 Roman Catholic priests, brothers, students, and novices worldwide, primarily serving as missionaries and teachers.
