The Jesuits are also known as the Society of Jesus and were formed by Saint Ignatius of Loyola. Like most religious orders, the Jesuits focus on simplicty and optimism in everything they do. Also, since they are an order, they all must vow obedience, poverty, and celibacy (chastity). Another interesting fact about the Jesuits is that they all are Priests that are HIGHLY educated, many holding multiple degrees. There main goal aside from servicing God is to do it through education. There are many universities including Boston College and Holy Cross that were built by the Jesuits. The Jesuits were established in the hopes that they would become Soldiers of Christ defending Catholic beliefs and expanding the faith through education and innovation to others in society.
