The Society of Jesus is a Roman Catholic international religious order of some 25,000 men on six continents and in 112 countries throughout the world. Members of the Society of Jesus (or Jesuits) might be either priests, brothers or scholastics who are studying to become priests. A man becomes a Jesuit after a two year novitiate program at the end of which he pronounces perpetual vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience.

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.
