Mr. Tom Nietzke, S.J. serves in regency at Creighton Preparatory School in Omaha, NE as teacher and Assistant Dean of Students.

Regency:

“The specific aim of regency is to deepen the spiritual integration and the human maturation of the Jesuit in all its aspects, through serious and responsible commitment to an apostolic activity, with its objective demands of organization, regularity, adequate evaluation of time and means used, of collaboration and service to others.”
The Formation of Jesuits  -  Fr. Peter-Hans Kolvenbach, S.J. (Superior General)

Following First Studies, a Jesuit Scholastic will often be missioned to an apostolic assignment to serve for several  years in a ministry of the Society. In high schools and universities, in parishes or in other works, the young Jesuit gains experience and skills for later ministry, while also deepening his own call to priestly ordination.
