For nearly 500 years,
Jesuit priests and brothers have been inspired by the vision of St.
Ignatius Loyola to love and serve God as companions of Jesus. They
seek to find God in all things, to listen with a discerning heart,
and to do all things for the greater glory of God.
Sharing the Church's mission of spreading a faith that promotes justice,
the Jesuits of the New Orleans Province serve the people of God in
the southern and southwestern United States and abroad by preaching,
teaching, healing, and reconciliation.
Thanks for your visit; we hope that it will be pleasant and informative.

 Searching for survivors in the rubble • photo by Federico Corporán (JRS)Jesuit Refugee Service has become one of the leading organizations in providing emergency food and medical aid to the earthquake victims of Haiti. Coordinating with partner organizations, JRS has set up several locations in Haiti to deliver aid in an efficient and organized manner. Additionally Jesuit Refugee Service in the Dominican Republic is working in coordination with JRS Haiti and has established three centers in the Dominican Republic to coordinate the transfer of food, medicine and other emergency supplies to the people of Haiti. In addition to JRS's ongoing response to the immediate needs of Haitian survivors, it is also analyzing the situation to predict future needs as the nation faces the daunting task of rebuilding much of its capital city and surrounding towns.
We ask you to assist the efforts of the JRS by your prayer and by your financial support. You should note that Congress has passed a bill making any donations by March 1, 2010, to Haitian earthquake relief efforts tax-deductible on 2009 returns.
