Who we are

As the international development organisation of the Australian Jesuit Province, Jesuit Mission works with our most vulnerable sisters and brothers, empowering them to live full and free lives.

Inspired by the Gospel of Jesus Christ and in the spirit of St Ignatius of Loyola, we partner with international Jesuit networks to empower communities living on the margins to free themselves from poverty and injustice.

Our story begins in 1951, when Australian Jesuit missionaries went to Hazaribag, India to serve and empower communities in need.

Meet some of our dedicated staff and Board members, the global Jesuit network, and the generous supporters who keep our mission alive.

The 2023-2027 Jesuit Mission Australia Strategic Framework represents the fruits of a year-long discernment. Our new strategic framework has at its heart a vision of creating an inclusive and just world where humanity flourishes.
