What's In Your Heart?
Sometimes our hearts desire more than a job. Sometimes our hearts desire companions on the spiritural journey. Are you thinking about becoming a priest or brother? If so, the Jesuits offer many joyful opportunities for service. We would be honored to hear what you feel in your heart.

The Future of Religious Life, by Timothy Radcliffe, OP: "Our vocation as religious is more important than ever before. We are called to be signs of hope for humanity. We can only be a sign of hope for a generation that is living through a crisis if we are able to confront our crises with joy and serenity, as moments of grace and new life."
