For the Greater Glory of God
In 1540, St. Ignatius Loyola founded the Society of Jesus as a religious order of the Roman Catholic Church. Its members would come to be known as JESUITS. Today nearly 118 priests and brothers in the Delhi Province along with 20,000 worldwide are serving God's people as Jesuits.
St. Ignatius of Loyola
Fired by the passion to serve the Lord and His people he set ablaze the whole world with love.
Ignatius Loyola’s Jesuits transformed the Roman Catholic Church in terms of quality and they became a vital part of the Counter-Reformation.
St. Ignatius Loyola - the pilgrim and founder of the Jesuits continues to serve as a model of finding God in all things...
The Delhi Province
The Delhi Jesuit Province extends from Himachal Pradesh in the north through Punjab, Haryana, Uttrakhand to Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh in the south, an extensive area in the Indian Subcontinent. This is an impressive extent of vast area. Taken from the Patna Province and established as a Region in 1988 with 43 Jesuits basically from the mother province, the Delhi Province has quietly but steadily grown in numbers to reach 118, with 13 young men in the Novititate and 44 Scholastics in the various stages of formation, 57 Priests and 4 Brothers.
With several vocations coming in regularly from diverse parts of the country, with our own novitiate, Pre-novitiate, and Candidate House, with our prestigious institutes of education, spirituality centre and social centres, and several parishes entrusted to our care, the Province has grown remarkably with much missionary zeal and apostolic vivacity.
We are still men on the move, ready to change occupation, method - whatever will advance our mission in the Church of teaching Jesus Christ and preaching His Good News - a radical service of the implications of faith in a world that desperately seeks for faith and justice. In all that we do, like our Jesuit companions around the world, we are committed for the cause of His Kingdom.
