| Ways Your Gift Helps |
The journey to become a Jesuit priest or brother involves an average of 10 years of prayer, rigorous education and thousands of hours of service, at a minimum cost of $30,000 per year.
Jesuits rarely do just one thing, or serve in one ministry exclusively. As Jesuits move through their careers, they often need "retraining" to serve elsewhere, for example, as a pastor after years of teaching chemistry to college students, or administering a high school.
None of the nearly 200 Jesuits in service from the New Orleans Province would receive what they need without your prayers for the grace to serve as Jesuits and your gift of financial support to meet tuition and other training costs.
