“Our mission today is not a mission of Jesuits alone, but a mission in solidarity with numerous women and men...”
—The Ten Jesuit Provincials of the United States
Our mission today
Enter your content here.Our mission today is not a mission of Jesuits alone, but a mission in solidarity with numerous women and men who share the spirit of gnatius . . . we recognize that colleagues, alumni, parishioners, retreatants, benefactors, and others have entered . . . into our communal mission. Many are now responsible for the care of ministries founded by Jesuits, and these partners will lead them in continued service of the Gospel. Many also now stand at the center of American society in places and positions that can make them friends of the poor and humble Christ and, together with Christ’s poor, artisans of a new society. Together, then, we accept Ignatius’ invitation to save our souls through service to others.
