Jesuit Conference of Canada and the United States is the collaborating body of the five provincial superiors of the Society of Jesus in Canada, the United States,[1][2] Belize,[3] and Haiti.
[9][10] Some had divided in the 1950s when they reached maximum size, to become California, Chicago-Detroit, Maryland, Missouri, New England, New Orleans, New York, Oregon, and Wisconsin, known collectively as the US Assistancy.
[12] Since its 32nd General Congregation in 1972, the Society of Jesus has made the promotion of justice a central part of all of its works.
[13] The Jesuits’ Office of Justice and Ecology at the Conference engages with "legislators, public officials, corporations and the Jesuit network on issues including immigration and economic, criminal, juvenile and environmental justice.
An outgrowth of this has been the Kino Border Initiative for which the Jesuit provincials have shown concerted support.
