Society member, ordained
A Jesuit priest is a member of the Society of Jesus, a Roman Catholic religious order founded in the 16th century, who has been ordained to the priesthood.
Jesuits are known for their emphasis on education, intellectual rigor, and missionary work.
The term is sometimes redundant since most Jesuits are priests, though the order also includes brothers who are not ordained.
