  Universal Apostolic Priorities

  Universal Apostolic Preferences are the fruit of a process of discernment lasting almost two years. All Jesuits were invited to take part and in addition our mission partners. It concluded with a confirmation from Pope Francis in a special meeting with Fr General Arturo Sosa. The Preferences give a horizon, a point of reference to the whole Society of Jesus. They capture our imaginations and awaken our desires. They unite us in our mission. The new Preferences are four areas vital for our world today. The Society of Jesus will pay special attention to them in the next ten years. We invite you to learn more and take action with us! We want to make a Gospel difference.

  • Showing the way to God: Show the way to God through the Spiritual Exercises and discernment.
  • Walking with the Excluded: Walk with the poor, the outcasts of the world, those whose dignity has been violated, in a mission of reconciliation and justice.
  • Journeying with the Youth: Accompany young people in the creation of a hope-filled future.
  • Caring for our Common Home: Collaborate, with Gospel depth, for the protection and renewal of God’s Creation.
