    Our community is dedicated to St. Mark the Evangelist, who brought Christianity to Egypt.

    This year the community is made up of eight Jesuits.   Of course we have regular visits from other Jesuits, and others as well.   In addition, we often have 'temporary' members who bring their own experience while sharing ours.   One member of the community lives permanently in a parish near Luxor Town, in the far South.   It is difficult to enumerate each one's apostolate in detail, but in general, the communiity's  work includes the spiritual and material supervision of all activities centered on the Residence Complex, as well as various Apostolic Engagements both in El Minia itself and out in the country around as well, all the way South to Luxor.
