Who are the Jesuits?
We are the largest men's religious order in the Catholic Church. The Society of Jesus was 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 almost 20,000 Jesuits serving the Church in 112 nations on six continents.
The English Canada Province, as part of the international Society of Jesus, serves the English-speaking people of Canada. Together with our Jesuit colleagues and lay partners throughout the world, we are committed to the service of faith, and this requires that we promote justice, foster dialogue between cultures and religions, and lovingly care for those the Lord puts on our path.
