St. Ignatius Loyola
St. Ignatius Loyola gathered a small group of like-minded friends and together they formed the Compania de Jesus, the Society of Jesus, recognized by Pope Paul III in 1540. Jesuits were often the first missionaries in India, Japan, and China, and among the first in the Americas. At the heart of Jesuit vision is God’s love for the world.
