Jesuits in Britain and Ignatian Communities
Jesuits are contemplatives in action,
rooted in the way of praying of St Ignatius of Loyola
and living lives of service all around the world.
We invite you too to live a life of faith in action.
Are you called to serve Jesus?
Religious life is a path chosen by some in the Church as a way to devote themselves fully to their faith. Religious life is characterised by a deep commitment to living according to the teachings of the church and the unique charism of the religious order that a person chooses. This is expressed to the world through public promises known as vows. These vows are seen as sacred pledges, a way to structure one's life entirely around serving God and others.

Are you called to serve Jesus?
Faithful Companions of Jesus (FCJ), are an international Society of Roman Catholic Sisters working around the world. They are one body committed to living a charism of faithful companionship with Jesus. As Ignatian women, they seek to find God in all things and they find joy in being sent on mission. They share one mission, but have diverse ministries—contemporary expressions of Marie Madeleine’s vision and inspiration. Growing together, they strive to make God’s presence known and loved in the world.
Living Stones
The beauty of our Church can help visitors know the One on whom these stones are built and whom this beauty praises. Contemplating the images in our Church using the way of praying of St Ignatius helps us to be aware of God’s presence among us, and how he invites us to draw others into his fullness of life.
The weekly Living Stones meetings offer a time of prayer, a time of study and a time of community which prepare us for a regular (probably monthly) service of leading visitors through the Spiritual Journey of this Church building.
In Prayer we contemplate how the images and architecture of our Church point us toward God, using the way of praying of St Ignatius of Loyola.
By Study we learn about the history of this Church building and its context, and why it is in this style, which all show how it reveals God’s presence in the midst of where we are.
In community, the Living Stones are built together, to offer shelter and space to discover the Lord’s invitation together.
This issues in Service, through which we hope to point visitors to the presence of God in the Church and in the world.
Christian Life Communities (CLC-CVX)
Christian Life Community (CLC) is for people who want to understand more deeply how God is at work in their everyday lives, using three pillars of Spirituality: living prayer, Community: a spiritual family, and Mission: loving service.
We hope to start a new CLC group early in the Autumn term 2024.
And many more activities that we can begin!
