NOVITIATE A man enters the Society of Jesus as a novice. Novices spend two years living the life of the vows in community, learning the traditions of the Society, making the 30-day Spiritual Exercises retreat, and engaging in ministries that include service to the poor. FIRST STUDIES After the novitiate, Jesuits move on to a three-year period of graduate coursework in philosophy and theology called First Studies. 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 apostolate community. THEOLOGY Following Regency, Jesuit scholastics begin an intensive three-year study of theology. RECENTLY ORDAINED After theology, those Jesuits who are called to the priesthood are ordained. BROTHERS IN FORMATION Brothers undergo a slightly different but no less rigorous formation than that of their scholastic counterparts. SPECIAL STUDIES As part of his ongoing formation, a Jesuit may pursue advanced studies in a particular academic or professional field. 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. While not pictured here, men in Tertianship are Benjamin Jimenez and Charles Rodrigues.
