Two Jesuits communities reside in Kingsmead Hall: the apostolate community and novitiate community.

The main apostolate is the Parish Church of St Ignatius.

We also serve the Archdiocese in different ways. We serve the Tamil speaking migrant workers and meet the spiritual needs of the staff and students at Catholic Junior College (CJC). Our priests also act as Spiritual Directors to the Artists for Christian Theatre (ACT), the Legion of Mary Praesidiums, the Catholic Medical Guild, charismatic groups and others. One of us is the co-ordinator of the Jesuit Refugee Services (JRS) for Singapore.

Kingsmead Hall also houses the Centre for Ignatian Spirituality and Counselling that offers retreats and counselling services. Various Church groups also use the centre's facilities for their meetings and workshops.

On the far end of Kingsmead Hall is the novitiate, where our Jesuit novices spend their first two years of formation. See more pictures of the novitiate and read about how we live in A Day in the Life of A Novice.
