Catholic

We are the Society of Jesus, a Roman Catholic order of priests and brothers founded in 1534 by the soldier-turned-priest Ignatius Loyola. But most people call us "the Jesuits."
In the vision of our founder, we seek to "find God in all things." We dedicate ourselves to the “greater glory of God" and the good of all humanity. We do so gratefully, in collaboration with others who share our values, including laypersons, who have become part of the “we,” the extended Jesuit family.
