All the members (Called “Jesuits”) commit themselves to the service of God and His children by perpetual vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. The Jesuits were invited to Nepal in 1951 to serve in the field of education. Fr. Marshall D. Moran founded St. Xavier’s School in Godavari in July of the year and St. Xavier’s School, Jawalakhel in 1954. Registered with the Nepal Government as the Nepal Jesuit Society (NJS), the Jesuits of nepal have expended the pioneering work of Fr. Moran to include St. Xavier’s College, Maitighar, St. Xavier’s Social Service Centers (Jawalakhel and Nakhipot), Human Resources Development Research Centre (Sanepa), Shishu Bikash Kendra (Pokhara), St. Xavier’s School (Deonia, Jhapa), Moran Memorial School (Mahespur, Jhapa Dt.).
