Welcome to the Web site of the Maryland Province of the Society of Jesus. One of 10 Jesuit provinces in the United States, the Maryland Province encompasses Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey, North Carolina, Virginia, Washington, DC, and West Virginia.

The province is home to some 360 Jesuit priests, brothers, scholastics and myriad lay colleagues all working in a wide variety of ministries such as education, social justice issues, pastoral care and more, helping others to "find God in all things," a basic Jesuit philosophy.

The seeds of the Maryland Province were planted in 1634 when Jesuit priest Father Andrew White and two colleagues landed on St. Clement Island in southern Maryland with a group of Catholic and Protestant settlers. After overcoming a succession of trials and tribulations, including the 1773 suppression of the Society of Jesus, the Jesuits have emerged as the largest religious order of the Roman Catholic Church.
