Tertianship
The Provincial usually invites men to begin tertianship three to five years after finishing formation or graduate studies. There are two types of tertianship programs offered in the U.S.A. The first is a seven to nine month program that runs during the academic year, and the second is a two-year program that runs during two consecutive summers. In both programs, tertians study the foundational documents of the Society of Jesus, make the 30-day retreat, study the Spiritual Exercises, and participate in an apostolic experiment chosen by the tertian master.
