Jesuit News

Be A Jesuit is the vocation and discernment resource for the Society of Jesus, a Catholic religious order whose members serve the Church and go where they are needed. Rooted in the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola, the Jesuits describe their mission as following Christ, helping souls, and serving God and neighbor. The site invites men considering religious life to explore whether they may be called to become Jesuits.

Visitors can connect with a Jesuit vocation promoter, ask questions, and receive guidance as they begin discernment. The site also explains the discernment process, Jesuit communities and provinces, and the stages of formation: the novitiate, First Studies, Regency, theology studies, and tertianship. Its resources introduce Ignatian spirituality, the Society of Jesus, the role of Jesuit brothers, and the Jesuits’ service to the Church. Be A Jesuit shares events, including opportunities to meet Jesuits, and provides information for prospective candidates. It welcomes inquiries from men who are practicing Catholics, in good standing, and interested in serving others.
