Colleges of St Omer, Bruges and Liège

Saint-Omer, France · built 1593

The Colleges of St Omer, Bruges and Liège were successive expatriate institutions for Roman Catholic higher education run by the Jesuits for English students. Founded in 1593 by Robert Parsons as the college of Saint-Omer in Artois (then part of the Spanish Netherlands), in the 18th century the college was twice forced to relocate, due to the suppression of the Jesuit order in France. In 1762 most masters and students moved to Bruges and in 1773 on to Liège, leaving a smaller college surviving in St Omer. In 1794, those in Liège migrated a third and final time to Stonyhurst in England, founding Stonyhurst College.
