Lay & Groups

A great interest in Ignatian Spirituality has been found in the Province between both the laity and the Jesuits. They not only want to be receivers of this spirituality, but also want to be collaborators of the Spiritual Exercises in its different modalities. More and more religious and laity are sharing their Ignatian Spirituality with one another. They are being now called the "Ignatian Family."

Crhistian Life Comuninity - CLC

The Christian Life Community is an international association of Christians: men and women, adults and young people, of all social conditions, who want to follow Jesus Christ more closely and work with Him for the building of the Kingdom. Members make up small groups, which are part of larger communities organised regionally and nationally, all forming ONE World Community. The CLC is present in all five continents, in almost sixty countries.

The charism and spirituality of CLC are Ignatian. Thus, the Spiritual Exercises of St Ignatius are both the specific source of our charism and the characteristic instrument of CLC spirituality. The CLC way of life is shaped by the features of Ignatian Christology : austere and simple, in solidarity with the poor and the outcasts of society, integrating contemplation and action, in all things living lives of love and service within the Church, always in a spirit of discernment.
