We love seeing new faces, so join us for a cup of coffee and a friendly chat after the mass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are always looking for new choir members, musicians and volunteers for readings and the altar service.

The Jesuit brothers are passionate about education and working with students, and they created the English Mass in 2007 as a way to connect with international students from the Erasmus exchange program. The students were soon joined by international diplomats and embassy employees working in Slovenia. Now, EML is a busy community of families and individuals from all backgrounds and professions. Every year, we welcome new members who arrive in Slovenia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>The Community Around the World<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of us no longer live in Ljubljana, but we like to keep in touch. Past EML members can watch the mass live on Fr Damjan\u2019s Facebook page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Our Priest<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are led in prayer by our pastor, Fr Damjan Ristic, the head of the Jesuit community at St Joseph\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fr Damjan is originally from Bled and he has worked and studied all over the world, including Zambia, South Africa, London and Dublin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who we are \u2026 We are a multinational community of English-speaking Catholics and other Christians in Ljubljana.
