St Gregory's , Paris

St Gregory's was a small college belonging to the English secular clergy founded in Paris in the late 17th century. Its main purpose was to enable suitable ecclesiastics who had completed their training at Douai or the other colleges abroad to pursue advanced studies at the Sorbonne before working on the mission to England. It closed in 1786.

The 'English Mission' was an unofficial term for the pastoral activity of the Catholic Church in England from the reign of Elizabeth I to the restoration of the hierarchy in 1850.
