CLC Welcome Video
CLC Mission
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.
CLC Vision
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.
Pillars
| Pillars | What They Mean |

Reflection
|
Reflection, faith and spirituality are at the heart of the Ignatian way of life and CLC's spirituality pillar is an invitation to grow. CLC members can expect invitation and challenge from weekly faith sharing groups, retreat opportunities, prayer services and more. |

Love in Action
|
CLC invites members to respond to God's loving initiative by putting love into action, becoming more generous and working for justice. Simply put, mission is love in action. Whether as individuals or as a small group, CLC members participate in a variety of service, justice and advocacy issues throughout the year. |
