Faith & Service
At De Smet Jesuit we offer instruction and guidance rooted in the Catholic, Jesuit tradition and provide opportunities for young men to explore their faith in ways that are personally impactful.
Calendar for Ministry & Service
3-Minute Theology Series
Join us to pray during the (almost) second week of Advent as we await Christ’s coming as the Light of the World to dispel all darkness. We especially pray that he dispel the darkness in our hearts. He is the hope, peace, joy, and love that the Israelites awaited long ago, and that all Christians now await at the end of time.
The Lord is our light and our salvation! Watch the video to pray along with us.

De Smet continues to be a place where our prayer, work, and study helps to bring about Jesus’ vision of the Kingdom. I envision De Smet as a training ground for a new generation of saints.

De Smet Jesuit High School allows us to learn about and practice our faith in community, whereby we come to know the person of Jesus Christ more authentically and come to no other conclusion than that we are loved unconditionally by God.

I encourage my students to realize and then share their God-given talents with everyone they encounter.
- Learning Consultant
Our Catholic high school allows time for students to reflect and pray throughout the day. The time for prayer is important as these young men are developing coping skills and testing their own moral compasses.
- Theology Teacher
I am hopeful we can continue being a tangible encounter of God for students of all walks of life, wherever they are on their faith journeys. I am proud of our inclusive witness to the presence of God around and among us all.
