Charism

A charism is a religious order’s distinctive purpose, spirit, and mission that drives its members and gives the order its identity.

The Congregation of Jesus is an apostolic order of women religious founded by Mary Ward in 1609

We are women of freedom, integrity and generosity

We are lovers of truth and workers of justice

We are rooted in God and passionate for Christ finding God in all things

We are courageous and not afraid to take new paths in the service of the church and others

We are contemplatives in action, open and ready to go where the need is greatest.
