Welcome to Documenta Societatis Iesu #

This website contains important documents for the Society of Jesus.

The Constitutions #

The Constitutions were written by St Ignatius in collaboration with others, notably his secretary Juan de Polanco, over a number of years following the Society’s arrival in Rome. The writing exhibits both an extraordinary trust in God’s charismatic guidance and a realistic awareness of the need for structure. The ten parts deal with the successive stages of incorporation into the Society, with its life in mission, and with how it can be organized and governed so that it can keep moving forward in the divine service. - From Jesuits.Global
