The Jesuit Association

For over 450 years, Jesuit priests and Brothers have lived an amazing story of serving the church in new and unexpected ways. Inspired by the vision of St. Ignatius of Loyola, Jesuits desire to love and serve God in all things as companions of Jesus. They embrace the Church's worldwide mission of spreading a faith that promotes justice.

This legacy of spirituality and service to the poor continues in the schools, parishes, retreat houses and special apostolates that Jesuits of the Missouri Province run. In Central America, the poor find hope and an alternative to poverty through Jesuit programs that help people develop their communities and talents.

People are willing to listen to God's word and apply the Gospel to their lives, but it takes the support of loyal friends to keep these projects going. The Jesuits of the Missouri Province depend entirely on private donations to support domestic and foreign missions as well as the education of young Jesuits.

Your generosity plays a crucial role in this work; may you share as well in the blessings that come to those who share Christ's labor of love.
