Jesuits in the United States

Jesuits in the United States are members of the Society of Jesus, a Catholic religious order founded in the 16th century. They focus on education, social justice, and spiritual development. Jesuits run many schools, colleges, and universities—such as Georgetown University—and are involved in community service, pastoral work, and advocating for marginalized groups. Known for intellectual rigor and commitment to service, they seek to integrate faith with justice and foster personal growth. Their presence in the U.S. emphasizes faith-driven leadership and social responsibility across various sectors.
