The Society of Jesus – or the Jesuits for short – is the religious order of men in the Catholic Church who founded Loyola College, Williamnagar along with many other colleges and universities around the world.

From the beginnings of the Society of Jesus, education and spiritual ministries and outreach to the marginalized have been at the core of the Jesuit mission.

The Jesuits are an apostolic religious community called the Society of Jesus. They are grounded in love for Christ and animated by the spiritual vision of their founder, St. Ignatius of Loyola, to help others and seek God in all things.

Today numbering just under 16,000 members, Jesuits are spread out in almost every country of the world. Throughout their history, they have been pastors, teachers, and chaplains, as well as doctors, lawyers, and scientists.

Ignatius was born in the Basque region of Spain in 1491. A soldier and courtier, he was driven by a desire for fame and honor. While defending a castle in Pamplona, he was struck by a cannonball that shattered his leg.
