Campion House brings together a Jesuit community, the London base of the Jesuit Refugee Service, a college offering courses in ministry for lay people and Osterley Retreats, a thriving retreat centre.
Contemplation and creativity are central to all the activities at Campion House
people use the freedom to
see where God is calling them, and take their next step with God.
Campion House
For many years, Campion House has been providing pre-seminary courses for
people with vocations to the priesthood, but who need to do additional
preparation before going to a seminary. Today there is pressing need in all the
churches to equip lay people for ministry, which is now the focus of Campion
Houses educational work. For more information, see the lay ministry section of this web site.

Osterley Retreats
The Ignatian Spiritual Exercises form the basis of the work of Osterley
Retreats. In recent years people have found many creative ways to use the
exercises, and they now form the background to the work of many retreat
centres. At Osterley Retreats people can be found praying in silence, music,
painting, sculpture, dance in all the ways God speaks to us, if we are
willing to listen.
Scenes of Osterley
Campion House is set in extensive grounds, and
is close to Osterley Park. Here are some snapshots
offering a taste of Osterley.
