Our Province
De Smet Jesuit is proud to be part of the Jesuits USA Central and Southern Province, which spans 13 states from Colorado to Florida, as well as Puerto Rico and Belize. This connection places us within a wider network of Jesuit ministries—including schools, universities, parishes, and retreat centers—all working together to advance the shared mission of faith, education, and service. Being part of this province strengthens our commitment to forming men for and with others, grounded in the global Jesuit tradition.
