Christian Life Community

The mission of Christian Life Communities at Loyola University Chicago is to enable Loyola students to grow in their relationships with God, their neighbors, and themselves by building Christian community, practicing Ignatian spirituality, and putting love in action.

Christian Life Communities at Loyola University Chicago are a network of vibrant small faith-sharing groups based around three pillars: spirituality, community, and mission. CLC participants desire “to follow Jesus Christ more closely and work with Him” to build God’s reign at Loyola and beyond (“General Principles,” §4). They do this by meeting weekly or bi-weekly in small groups (6-10 people) for prayer, faith-sharing, community-building, and service. CLC at Loyola University Chicago is part of the global Christian Life Community, comprised of Ignatian lay people around the world who are dedicated to seeking deeper relationships with God and others through prayer, service, and reflection.
