The Ignatian way of life is a way of seeking God in the service of others. We seek to find where God wants us to serve Him in others by listening to the promptings of our hearts.
The way that we live and express this service, depends on the gifts we have, the situations we find ourselves in, our status in life (single or married, lay, religious or priest). Our mission is apostolic in its nature and is rooted in our Ignatian Spirituality. It is through a recognition of Christ’s love for us, loving us in our brokenness, that we feel called to share his work of love to all of creation.
We also share a common desire for God's Kingdom as a community. We feel called to work for a more just world, to stand side by side with the poor, to witness to our way of life, to stand as prophets in our world, to undergo formation through experience and action and to collaborate with all persons of good will. After a period of discernment, our national community has identified two areas of ministry of particular concern to CLC - standing in solidarity with Forced Migrants and supporting Young Adults in their search for God. CLC supports these initiatives through members who work directly in these areas and by the prayer and mutual support of the whole community. |

Often
our primary activity for God and His Kingdom is in the home and family or the
local community or parish, so we may find ourselves serving others without the
active help and presence of other CLC members. Nonetheless it is a communal
activity because our group supports us through their prayers and knowledge of
our efforts. Because we try to share at our meetings on where we have found God
in this service, our local community is able to help us discover what God wants.
