Ministries

The mission of Jesuits is directed to the ways in which Christ makes his presence felt in the diversity of human cultures, in order that we may present the Gospel as Christ’s explicitly liberating presence. Ours must be a dialogue, born of respect for people, especially the poor, in which we appreciate and share the values of their culture and offer our own treasures, in order to build up a communion of peoples instructed by God’s Word and enlivened by the Holy Spirit.

The legacy of Ignatian spirituality and service to the poor continues to thrive in the schools, parishes, retreat houses and special apostolates operated and sponsored by the Jesuits of the Missouri Province.
