EnglishWhat Is Jesuits.org?
Updated
Jesuits.org is the official website of the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits) in the United States, Canada, and Haiti, operated by the Jesuit Conference of Canada and the U.S. It is a public information and resource hub rather than a membership portal: you can read news and reflections, listen to podcasts, subscribe to newsletters, and find Jesuit parishes, retreat centers, and education resources without needing an account. The site is available in English, with French and Spanish versions also linked.
Who runs the site and who it serves
The site represents the Jesuit Conference of Canada and the U.S., covering the U.S., Canada, and Haiti. Content is aimed at anyone interested in Jesuit news, Ignatian spirituality, social justice, or Jesuit life—not only Jesuits themselves. A "Become a Jesuit" section addresses vocations, and a "Support Us" link serves donors.
What you can find on the site
The homepage organizes content into a few clear areas:
| Area | What it offers |
|---|---|
| Top Stories | Current news, e.g., the Society welcoming 29 new novices, or prayers for Pope Leo XIV |
| Justice & Ecology | Action-oriented content from the Jesuit Conference Office of Justice and Ecology, including Laudato Si' action planning and Indigenous boarding school history |
| Ignatian Spirituality | Explanations of Ignatian spirituality and links to find a Jesuit parish or retreat center |
| Jesuit Life | Stories and books by Jesuits, plus the AMDG podcast |
| Newsletter / "discern this" | A weekly reflections series delivered by email |
The site also outlines the four Universal Apostolic Preferences that guide Jesuit mission: showing the way to God through the Spiritual Exercises and discernment, walking with the poor and outcast, accompanying young people, and caring for our Common Home.
How to use it
- To follow Jesuit news and reflection: subscribe to the newsletter via the sign-up form, or read the "discern this" weekly series online.
- To listen: browse the AMDG podcast, including episodes such as one featuring a Jesuit economist discussing coffee.
- To find local resources: use the "Find a Jesuit Parish" and "Find a Jesuit Retreat Center" links.
- To learn about Jesuit education: the education section explains the tradition's goal of forming "men and women for others," quoting Pedro Arrupe.
What to keep in mind
The site is primarily English-language, though French and Spanish versions are linked. Some actions—such as donating through "Support Us"—may involve separate processes not detailed on the homepage. The site does not present itself as a paid service; its main content is publicly readable, with newsletters requiring only an email sign-up.
