Our Works
In all our ministries, Jesuits seek to serve the “Greater Glory of God.” We are blessed to do this in collaboration with many partners in mission. Through our works, we respond to God’s invitation to work for reconciliation.
Ignatian Spirituality is an attentiveness to God’s action in our lives and our response to God’s desires for us.
Jesuits believe in a faith that does justice. Our works are called to solidarity and concern for the marginalized.
Jesuit parishes provide a home for Jesuits and our collaborators to share Ignatian spirituality and live the Gospel.
Jesuits are best known for their focus on education, one that attends to students’ intellectual, physical and spiritual needs.
Companions in Mission
As members of the Society of Jesus, we are blessed with companions with whom to live, pray and work. We are on mission with thousands around the world in our love for God and God’s people.
