Review for Religious

Review for Religious was published by Jesuits of the Missouri Province from 1942 through January 2012. This journal published articles of interest for women and men religious across the spectrum of religious life from active apostolic communities to contemplative monastic communities and covered a wide range of topics pertinent to religious life—prayer and spirituality, current best practices, and helpful canonical guidelines. This collection provides a unique window into religious life during the 30 years leading up to Vatican II and documents the impact the Council had on religious communities during the 40 years that followed. Researchers should find this collection an invaluable resource for documenting the dramatic changes that took place in religious life over a span of 70 years.

The Jesuit Archives & Research Center is proud to make these volumes available digitally through a partnership with the Saint Louis University Library and the Central and Southern Province of the Society of Jesus. Permission is hereby granted to copy and distribute individual articles for personal, classroom, or workshop use. Please credit Review for Religious; reference the volume, issue, and page number; and cite Saint Louis University Libraries as the host of the digital collection.


Catalogus Defunctorum in renata Societate Iesu ab a. 1814 ad a. 1970

The Catalogus Defunctorum, by Jesuit Rufo Mendizabal, principally includes biographical data about Jesuits who died between 7 August 1814 and 30 September 1970. The information often identifies a Jesuit’s date and city of birth, his year of entrance into the order, his date of final profession, and his province affiliation at the time of death. The Catalogus Defunctorum serves as a starting point for historical research about members of the order. The Jesuit Archives digitized this work, and this link provides a step-by-step guide to using the Catalogus Defunctorum.
