NOVICES | First Year
Midwest Jesuits in FormationNOVICES | Second Year
NOVITIATE: A man enters the Society of Jesus as a novice. Novices spend two years living in community while taking classes, making the thirty-day retreat of the Spiritual Exercises, and engaging in a variety of ministries. At the end of that time, they profess perpetual vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, as either a brother or a scholastic, the primary difference being that scholastics intend to go on for ordination to the priesthood while brothers do not.
FIRST STUDIES
FIRST STUDIES: After the novitiate, Jesuits move on to a three-year period of graduate coursework in philosophy and theology called first studies.
SPECIAL STUDIES
THEOLOGY: Following regency, Jesuit scholastics begin an intensive study of theology.
*BROTHERS IN FORMATION: Brothers undergo a slightly different yet equally rigorous formation than that of their scholastic counterparts.
TERTIANSHIP: A Jesuit completes his formation of prayer, guidance, and studies with tertianship, a period of preparation for final vows in the Society of Jesus.
ORDINATION: After theology, those Jesuits who are called to the priesthood are ordained.
REGENCY
THEOLOGY | First Year
THEOLOGY | Second Year THEOLOGY | Third Year
REGENCY: Upon completing first studies, Jesuits move to regency, in which the Jesuit works full-time for two or three years in a Jesuit apostolate and lives in an apostolic community.
THEOLOGY | Fourth Year THEOLOGY | Fifth Year
SPECIAL STUDIES: As part of his ongoing formation, a Jesuit may pursue advanced studies in a particular academic or professional field.
