All students and young professionals are welcome to join us to meet other young believers and deepen our faith together. We meet on Saturdays after the 5:15 English Mass for dinner, a presentation/discussion or activity, and communal prayer. We also offer opportunities for retreats, spiritual and theological formation and joint day trips. Interested? Contact us at huis.livingstones [at] gmail.com or speak to Bastiaan van Rooijen, member of the local Jesuit community. Upcoming events will also be shared on our Facebook en Instagram.

All events are in English.
