Peruvian Jesuits

Peruvian Jesuits are members of the Society of Jesus, a Catholic religious order, who have contributed significantly to Peru's education, culture, and social work since their arrival in the 16th century. They established schools, universities, and missions across the country, often focusing on indigenous communities. Known for their intellectual rigor, commitment to social justice, and advocacy for the marginalized, Peruvian Jesuits have played a key role in shaping the nation’s intellectual and social landscape, balancing religious duties with efforts to promote education, human rights, and community development.
