The Jesuits
In one way or another, we have all felt moved by Christ’s call：
Come! Follow me!
Inspired by the example of Ignatius,
we want to be companions of Jesus, sharing his work of love in our world.
Jesuits ordinarily live together in communities, some small and others large, depending on the kinds of ministries in which they are engaged.
Sometimes a Jesuit will live alone because his work or study places him at a distance from a local community, but he remains attached to a larger community.
Jesuits share all things in common, owning nothing in their own name.
Jesuits derive strength for their ministries from their relationship with Jesus in prayer, as well as from the mutual support, understanding and encouragement they receive from their brother Jesuits.
Who we are
Companions of Jesus
The Society of Jesus (the Jesuits) is a religious order of the Roman Catholic Church with members spread throughout the world. There are presently in Taiwan 200 Jesuits coming from 25 countries.
Jesuits are continuing the mission of Jesus Christ to preach, teach, heal, and reconcile. We ponder and interpret what God is saying in our hearts and we hope that finding God in all things we may with all our strength proclaim His glory.
We are ready to follow God under even the most difficult circumstances, to enter into and engage in dialogue with those of other faiths, cultures and value systems, and to stand in the front lines in the pursuit of justice and peace, bringing the message of the gospel that all men are yearning for deep in their hearts.
