The Societal Engagements of the Jesuits: Historical Perspectives

Lima, Peru | May 27–29, 2025

International Symposium on Jesuit Studies 2025

Social engagements are foundational to the Society of Jesus. The Formula of the Institute (1550) states that Jesuits were to be “ready to reconcile the estranged, compassionately assist and serve those in prisons or hospitals, and indeed to perform any other works of charity, according to what will seem expedient for the glory of God and the common good.”
