Our parish motto at St. Ignatius of Loyola is: "A People for Others." Following the example of St. Ignatius, we strive to faithfully serve God and others.
We believe that our community is called in a special way to serve others during this difficult time. For that reason, we will be inviting everyone to participate in "discipleship projects" throughout the 2020-21 school year.
These projects will bring to life the topics that we are studying together in our faith formation classes: encountering Christ in prayer and sacraments; speaking up for what is right; showing the love of God to those in need; and sharing the good news of salvation with our community.
You are invited to look over the list of projects below, and choose the ones in which you and your family would like to participate. Be sure to check back often, we will be adding projects to this list throughout the year!

Art of Neighboring - Neighboring Projects Holy Week / Easter Season
Learn more about the "Art of Neighboring" project HERE.
Learn the names of the eight neighbors who live closest to you, and write down their names.
Create a "neighboring project" that you can complete during Holy Week, or perhaps continue throughout the Easter season. This can inlcude praying for each of your neighbors by name, offering to help with an errand, or giving each neighbor a small gift (i.e., a small bag of Easter candy, or a packet of seeds for spring).
Be sure to tell us what you did using the reporting form HERE.
