Jesuit Conference of Canada and the United States
Central and Southern

Jesuit Conference of Canada and the United States is the collaborating body of the five provincial superiors of the Society of Jesus in Canada and the United States. The Conference includes the Jesuit provinces in both countries: one "in Canada, and four "in the United States: USA East, USA Central and Southern,USA Midwest, and USA WestProvinces. The Conference hosts the province websites.

From 2014 to 2017 the Jesuit provinces in the United States were consolidated. Some had divided in the 1950s when they reached maximum size, to become California, Chicago-Detroit, Maryland, Missouri, New England, New Orleans, New York, Oregon, and Wisconsin, known collectively as the US Assistancy. In the new grouping, New England and New York have formed "USA Northeast Province" which was renamed "USA East Province" when Maryland later joined the grouping, Missouri and New Orleans became "USA Central and Southern Province", Chicago-Detroit and Wisconsin have joined to become "Midwest Province", and Oregon and California became " USA West Province". There was some adjustment of boundary lines. The Jesuits have more ministries in the United States than they did at their peak of membership, largely because of lay partnerships and diversification of ministries.

The conference is led by a president, who also serves as chair of the Conference board. The administrative offices are in Washington, D.C., with eight on the full-time staff.
