AD MAJOREM DEI GLORIAM
De Smet Jesuit models and teaches the beliefs and practices of our Catholic faith and Jesuit spiritual tradition.
We exist to help our young men meet God—the God who is Love. In knowing God, they come to know their true selves. In the Jesuit classroom, students learn how to think, master how to reason, and are taught to ask, “Why? How? Whose voice has not yet been heard?” We form men for and with others, rooted in, rooted in our Jesuit mission of seeking and serving God in all things.
Our Pillars of Faith & Service
FAITH
Deepening relationships with God through prayer, worship, and spiritual formation.
SERVICE

The strength of De Smet Jesuit lies in our centuries‑old Jesuit educational heritage.
Anchored in faith
The Eucharist is central to our community. Join us for Mass on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 8 a.m. in the chapel, with Adoration and Confession offered on select Fridays. Fathers, sons, and alumni are invited to First Friday Mass each month, followed by a coffee reception.
We also gather for all-school Masses on holy days and Jesuit traditions like the Mass of the Holy Spirit and Missioning Mass, and each class celebrates quarterly Masses in the Boian Chapel. Prayer groups meet throughout the year, from weekly gatherings to seasonal Advent and Lent reflections.
