The Jesuits
Who are the Jesuits, and what do they do
We are the Society of Jesus, an order of Catholic priests and brothers founded nearly 500 years ago by St. Ignatius Loyola. With more than 15,000 priests, scholastics and brothers worldwide, we are the largest male religious order in the Catholic Church.

The Jesuits U.S. Central and Southern (UCS) Province is one administrative body within the Society of Jesus. The UCS Province is comprised of approximately 400 men serving in 12 states, Puerto Rico and Belize. Our current leader – or provincial – is V. Rev. Thomas P. Greene, SJ.
