Who They Are

The Jesuit Conference of Africa and Madagascar is one of six administrative parts of the universal Society of Jesus around the world.

The Society of Jesus is a religious order within the Roman Catholic Church established in 1540 by St Ignatius of Loyola who, with his first companions, placed the whole Society at the service of the Church and of God’s people.

Now in the 21st-century members of that same Society, more commonly called Jesuits, along with many women and men who share their vision, dedicate themselves to continuing the work of making God known in the world.

Reconciliation to All

Bringing reconciliation to all, of caring for those who are in the greatest need, of walking alongside and listening to young people, and of caring for our common home through the protection and renewal of God’s creation.
