Jesuit Priest

A Jesuit priest is a member of the Society of Jesus, a Catholic religious order founded in 1540 by St. Ignatius Loyola. Jesuits are priests committed to education, spiritual development, and social service. They are known for teaching in schools and universities, engaging in missionary work, and promoting social justice. Jesuits take vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, and emphasize intellectual growth and service to others. Their work often involves deep reflection, academic scholarship, and fostering faith communities, aiming to support individuals’ spiritual journeys and contribute positively to society.
