History
Founded in Santa Clara County in 2008, Ignatian Companions expanded to Alameda, Contra Costa, and San Mateo Counties in 2010. In the fall of 2013 we expanded once again by offering our program in the City of San Francisco.
Due to our initial success, Jesuits West, a province of the Society of Jesus, has recognized Ignatian Companions as an endorsed work of the Province. As such, we have been able to strategically partner with a variety of Jesuit organizations, including the Ignatian Center for Jesuit Education and the Jesuit communities of Santa Clara University and Jesuit School of Theology in Berkeley. Generous resources such as meeting facilities, liturgical space, spiritual direction and faith facilitation have been shared with us through these vital collaborations.
We are also grateful for our ongoing relationships with local and regional community-based and faith-based organizations that support our common mission.
