Vision
“The Manresa Spiritual Center is a Catholic center of the Jesuit Order, open also to other Christian confessions.”
The center was founded to serve those seeking a deeper connection with God and with the meaning of life. Throughout the year it offers spiritual exercises, recollections and formation programmes, and it hosts groups and associations that share its spiritual mission.
Mission
“The Society of Jesus — a Catholic religious order founded by Saint Ignatius of Loyola in 1540.”
The Jesuit mission is the defence of faith and the promotion of justice, lived through the four universal apostolic priorities:
- spiritual accompaniment on the path to God
- supporting young people in discerning their vocation
- accompanying excluded or marginalised persons
- care for Creation, our common home
The Jesuits have been present in Cluj since 1579, where they founded a college that became the foundation of today's Babeș-Bolyai University.
