Colombiere Center is, above all else, a Jesuit Community designed to serve infirm and elderly Jesuits and sponsored by the Detroit and Chicago Provinces.

The major apostolates for the Colombiere Center Community are those of prayer, suffering, and example. Community members, in accord with their talents, are also encouraged to develop other ministries.

Community Jesuits seek through word, action, and example to minister to the needs of one another.

Good health care is but one aspect of a number of operations and activities integral to its functioning. Other aspects include physical and recreational therapy, social activities with their fellow Jesuits, families, and friends.

Each Jesuit maintains his right to privacy and individuality and should be treated in a way commensurate with his potential as a
self-sufficient human being.
