Welcome

The Society of Jesus is the largest religious order of men in the Catholic Church. The Jesuits, as we are commonly known, were founded in 1540 by St. Ignatius Loyola—a Basque nobleman and soldier—and seven of his companions, who placed themselves at the disposal of the Holy Father for the service of the Church wherever the need was greatest. Today there are nearly 20,000 Jesuits serving the Church in 112 nations on six continents.
