Homily for the Fourth Centenary of the British Province of Jesuits

January 21, 2023

The Jesuits in Britain marked the 400th anniversary of the establishment of the British Province today, with a Mass at the Church of the Immaculate Conception, Farm Street, London (known by many as Farm Street Church).

The Mass was celebrated by Cardinal Vincent Nichols, Archbishop of Westminster, in front of a packed church, and the homily was delivered by the Provincial Superior of the British Jesuits, Fr Damian Howard SJ. You can download a PDF of the homily below.
