This religious order actually started using the building in It initially included a church and a convent, which were abandoned in after the Jesuits were expelled from Spain upon orders from King Carlos III. This is why most of the furniture and paintings found in the building are not original, but instead come from other churches or were added during major renovation works in the late nineteenth century, when part of the building was set aside for council offices and local courts, while the temple once again became a place of worship.
In the twentieth century it was also home to a state school. The first is musician Miquel Capllonch , who composed several pieces for the church choir and succeeded in bringing classical music, previously thought of as elitist, to the town. Its members, including people who are neither priests nor monks, profess vows of obedience, poverty, chastity and allegiance to the Pope, and receive intense scholastic training from the moment they enter the order.
As a feature of their apostolate, Jesuits must always be willing to serve Christ and the Church wherever their service may be necessary and urgent. Famous Jesuits, besides the Society's founder St. Ignatius of Loyola, include St. Francis Xavier, St. Francis Borgia and the current Pope, Francis I. Skip to main content. Share Tweet Share Email.
