Jesuits work in parish and retreat ministry, in high schools and colleges. They may be found working as lawyers and doctors, psychologists and counselors, writers and journalists, theologians and philosophers, researchers and scientists. In short, Jesuits do all kinds of work. Their mission is everywhere and always the promotion of faith in Jesus Christ and the justice demanded by that faith. Jesuits seek to make Christ's Kingdom available to our times. They are men with a singular passion: to do the world a world of good.
Considering a Jesuit Life?
There are many ways to begin to explore a vocation to religious life or the Jesuits. Prayer, conversation with a spiritual director, spiritual reading, and regular reception of the sacraments are helpful practices in listening to God's call and responding with freedom. It is also helpful to get to know the members of the religious community, its ministries, its history and tradition.
