Becoming a Jesuit: How does it work?

Martin's vocation story
  • Info weekend
    06.12.2024 – 08.12.2024
    Frankfurt on the Main
    Would you like to get to know Jesuits directly? Then the information weekend is the right place for you. It will be about your questions, which might be something like this: How do Jesuits live? What work do they do and how do they do it? What do Jesuits who have been in the order for a few years or a few decades say about their vocation? What is the attitude to life (spirituality) behind it and how do they live it in everyday life? You will also meet others who have similarly “crazy” thoughts and questions about whether religious life could be a meaningful way of life for them. There will be enough time to exchange ideas with them. If you are interested, please apply here: sebastian.ortner@jesuiten.org.
