Lookingbackat25years ofexpandingmissionary workbyU.S.Jesuits,the RomanCatholicmagazine, "JesuitMissions,"gaveits readerssomestrikingstatistics.

Twenty-fiveyearsago, therewereonly175AmericanJesuitsinthemission field;to-daythereare1,022. Twenty-fiveyearsago,the missionterritoryoftheAmericanJesuitswaslargely restrictedtoAlaska,Central America,andU.S.Indian reservations.To-daytheir territoryincludesJapan, thePhilippines,theCarolineandMarshallIslands, Ceylon,Nepal,India,China andIraq.

AmericanJesuitshave inheritedsuchfieldsasthe PhilippinesandCeylon fromEuropeanprovinces. OtherU.S.Jesuitactivities, e.g.,thenewlyopenedhigh schoolinNepal,areinareas whichhavenotbeenvisitedbyanyotherRomanCatholicmissionariesinmoderntimes.

To-day's1,022missionariesincludeanarchbishop, sevenbishops,610priests, 300scholastics,100laybrothers.Intheirmissionterritories,theJesuitsrun15 collegesanduniversities,23 highschoolsandvocational schools,supervise66other highschoolsand249elementaryschools.Fiveseminarieshavebeenset'upfor whatthemissionariesregardastheirmostimportantjob:.traininganative clergy.
