Welcome to our House!
Dear Visitor,
It’s a pleasure to welcome you to our Roman Curia , where I live and work with my collaborators to serve our fellow Jesuits throughout the world and all those people with whom and for whom they share their lives.
More than 470 years ago Saint Ignatius Loyola started with his first companions this “little company” as he used to call it. Today, Jesuits are sent to the edge of humanity and involved in apostolic ministries on all the continents of our world.
When you visit our Curia, you will meet people from across the entire globe, having a large variety of responsibilities. I am very grateful that they have accepted the role of being my colleagues in the mission I received during the last General Congregation in 2008 to lead the Society of Jesus.
The purpose of this website is assist you in meeting the people working at the Curia and locating the information you are looking for. As you make your way through this “house with many rooms” I hope you find what you desire.
