A Model Jesuit:

St Alphonsus Rodriguez SJ

October 2024

The Jesuit identity is based on the experience of the merciful love of God the Father who, besides pardoning, calls us to centre our life-mission on the person of the Son, the poor and humble Jesus, in order to be accepted as His companion… The Jesuit identity is a gift received through the spiritual and charismatic experience of Ignatius of Loyola and the first companions when they followed the call of the Lord to consecrate themselves entirely to Him...

Vision

Companions of Jesus
marching with the marginalised
for a world of reconciliation and justice.

Mission

The mission of reconciliation
with God, with one another
and with creation.
