As the first director of pastoral life in the more than century-long history of Holy Name of Jesus Church in New Orleans, Diane Blair has found a breadth and depth in her work that keeps her energized and fulfilled. 

Join us in prayer this Thanksgiving

This province responded to Bishop Daniel Flores' request to send priests to serve in the Rio Grande Valley. They're excited to be part of the Catholic humanitarian response.

When Jeff Miraflor, SJ, was in middle school, parishioners would sometimes joke that he “looked so holy up on the altar” he would make a good priest. He laughed comments like that off for several years before he got to Jesuit High School in Tampa, where he got a new perspective on all that a priest could be. Years later, he is in the midst of his Jesuit formation process, convinced he made the right decision to follow God’s call.  

The Jesuits USA Central and Southern Province is set to participate in the #iGiveCatholic campaign for the first time this fall.

Join Fr. Provincial Thomas Greene on his pilgrimage across the Jesuits USA Central and Southern Province. His next stop is Saturday, Nov. 20, in Belize City, Belize.

When he entered the Society of Jesus, Sullivan McCormick, SJ, assumed that he would pursue the path to priestly ordination, as the majority of Jesuits do. However, as he progressed through the novitiate program and reflected on his deepest desires for his vocation, he realized that Jesus was calling him to consider the vocation of Jesuit brother. 

Praying the Triple Colloquy can help us acknowledge our role in the sin of racism, confront our personal bias and behaviors, and grow our desire to be part of the solution to eradicate racism.  

As director of Rockhurst High School's Ignatian Service Office, Alan Ratermann is a driving force behind the school's pervasive culture of service.

Haiti is struggling. Once known as the “Pearl of the Antilles,” the Caribbean nation has been hit by all manner of political and natural disasters over the past few years. The Jesuits in Haiti are empowering the people so that they can have faith in Haiti’s destiny.

Last summer, Fr. Hung Pham, SJ, was entrusted with the responsibility of rearranging and organizing part of the Xavier Jesuit Community in Denver into the home of the newly established Office of Ignatian Spirituality for the Jesuits USA Central and Southern Province.  

Small is the number of people who recall that the former New Orleans Province of the Society of Jesus (which merged with the former Missouri Province in 2014 to create what is today known as the Jesuits USA Central and Southern Province) once had its novitiate in Macon, Georgia. That chapter in Jesuit history ended abruptly on the evening of Nov. 7, 1921, when St. Stanislaus College burned to the ground. This week marks the centennial of that sad event.
