Listen and Respond to the Call of Christ!

Welcome to the interactive site for three Jesuit vocations offices of the Society of Jesus in the USA: Chicago Province, Detroit Province, and Wisconsin Province. (Click for a map of all the Jesuit Provinces in the USA)

If you think God might be calling you to be a Jesuit priest or brother, or if you just want to learn more about the Jesuits, you've landed at the right place. Here you'll find information, support, and resources for your discernment process. Register with your own username, and visit often because the content and resources will change regularly.

Visit the SJ Café - a place for spiritual conversation with other discerners... read and reflect on various topics, share your reflections and ideas, meet some of the young Jesuit who share their stories. Browse the bookshelf where you'll find titles and descriptions of some great books on discernment and the Society of Jesus.

Click on Jesuit Resources to learn more about the Society of Jesus. In Foundations, you'll find selections from essential documents of the Society of Jesus, including St Ignatius' own autobiography, and the Spiritual Exercises, the Constitutions of the Society of Jesus and the more recent General Congregations - the guidelines and inspiration for the life and mission of Jesuits through the world.

The Living Witness section will introduce you to living Jesuits and show you who we are what we do. In the Jesuit Saints and Martyrs page you can read about Jesuits who led extraordinary lives with great missionary zeal.

Click on Meet Us where you'll meet today's Jesuit novices, brothers and scholastics and see where they live and serve. In addition, you'll find great Links to Jesuit and Ignatian spirituality.

Be sure to check out Upcoming Events section to learn about upcoming retreats and events for men discerning a vocation.

You can also read our vocations newsletter, Callings.

I'm glad you visited us!

Leave me an instant message. I'd be glad to help you explore the ways God may be calling you.
