Founders’ Circle


Ignatius Loyola, Francis Xavier, and Peter Faber were college friends whose vision, mission, and prayer were the compass that guided the Society of Jesus and shaped the proud tradition of Jesuit education and service. The Founders’ Circle, Loyola University Chicago’s most prestigious giving society, honors the men and women who have made philanthropic gifts totaling more than $100,000 to our University and Health System. These men and women have helped to carry on the work of these Jesuit founders.

Ignatius Loyola was born in 1491 in Northern Spain. As the first General of the Society of Jesus, he composed thousands of letters to those following in his mission of educating youth, ministering to the sick and serving the greatest needs of society. By 1773, his legacy created more than 700 schools and 175 seminaries throughout the world. Today, millions of people from all corners of the globe are educated and served annually in the Jesuit traditions that he established. Loyola referred to himself as a pilgrim, and he will forever be known for pioneering the vision for the Society of Jesus.

Francis Xavier, born in Spain in 1506, is considered the greatest missionary since the time of the Apostles. In just 10 years after joining Ignatius Loyola in creating the Society of Jesus, Xavier traveled to Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, India, Japan, and the Philippines to establish educational institutions rooted in the Jesuit mission. He embodied the youthful spirit and idealism of the Jesuit order.
