Formerly known as the Centre of Ignatian Spirituality and Counselling (CISC), Kingsmead Centre was founded in 1988. Fr Paul Tan, S.J., then Regional Superior of the Jesuits in the Malaysia-Singapore region decided to convert the University students’ hostel at Kingsmead Hall into a Jesuit novitiate and spirituality centre. The Centre’s first Director was Fr Hilario Fernandes, S.J.. He established the primary goal of this ministry as being a spirituality centre that provides retreats, days of recollection, spiritual direction and counselling.
