RECONCILIATION WITH CREATION

"We have been moved anew by the cry of those suffering the consequences of environmental destruction....This Congregation urges all Jesuits and all partners engaged in the same mission...to promote studies and practices focusing on the causes of poverty and the question of the environment's improvement."

-From the 35th General Congregation of the Society of Jesus, Decree 3, Rome, 2008

The Maryland Province of the Society of Jesus seeks to serve faith, promote justice, and dialogue with culture and other religions
as a way of establishing right relationships. In pursuit of this mission, Jesuits and colleagues throughout the province
follow a "way of proceeding" which integrates prayer and action, mysticism and service
as they perform a variety of social and international ministries.
