September 27 or 28, 1540: The 483d Anniversary of the Founding of the Society of Jesus

There is conflicting information regarding the actual date of the establishment of the Jesuits–whether it is Sept. 27th or 28th of 1540!

Here is a celebration in 2020 with Fr. General Arturo Sosa – surrounded by lay colleagues & Jesuit brothers – gathered in front of the tomb of St. Ignatius of Loyola to pray for COVID victims around the world.

St. Ignatius of Loyola, Pray for Us!
