The Servants of Christ Jesus, founded in 2004 as a community of priests and brothers, are committed to advancing the New Evangelization through the praise, reverence and service of God. Consecrating themselves completely to Jesus Christ, in radical poverty, chastity and obedience, they live the Gospel through the evangelical poverty of St. Francis of Assisi and the apostolic formation of St. Ignatius Loyola.

They are trained in Ignatian spirituality, scripture, spiritual exercises, liturgy, evangelization and education to be preachers of the Word, teachers of the Catholic faith, and directors of souls. They seek particularly to announce Christ to souls who have yet to conform their lives to Him – youth, young adults, non-Catholics, and non-Christians. They do this by preaching, teaching, spiritual exercises, administration of the Sacraments, and assistance to the poor.

They were founded in the Diocese of Steubenville in 2004, transferred to the Archdiocese of Denver in 2006, recognized as a Private Association of the Faithful by Archbishop Charles Chaput in 2009 and a Clerical Association of the Faithful by Archbishop Samuel Aquila in 2013.  In the Archdiocese, they serve as chaplains in schools, including the University of Denver, and provide missionary training, family formation, parish missions and spiritual direction.

Their prayer life includes daily Mass and a Holy Hour, weekly Confession, the Divine Office prayed together and an annual 8-day retreat.  Pope Francis appointed Fr. John Ignatius and Fr. Paul Kostka as “Missionaries of Mercy” for the Jubilee Year of Mercy.  This mandate was extended indefinitely in 2017.
