For administrative purposes, the Jesuits work in different geographic regions known as provinces. There are 84 provinces worldwide, 10 of them in the United States. A map of the United States shows which states comprise each province.
The Wisconsin Province consists of seven states in the Upper Midwest and Great Plains: Wyoming, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa , Minnesota, and Wisconsin. Province operations are totally dependent on the spiritual and financial generosity of friends and benefactors. Like Jesuits worldwide, Wisconsin Province Jesuits are devoted to accompanying others to Christ while cultivating and living a faith in which the promotion of justice is an absolute requirement. The service of faith and the promotion of justice constitute one and the same mission of the Society. They cannot, therefore, be separated one from the other in our purpose, our action, our life - this is the ministry whereby all our ministries are brought together in a unified whole.
