St. Ignatius Parish will celebrate Catholic education at the
11:30 am Mass on Sunday, January 29, 2023. School
students and families will participate as lectors, ministers of
hospitality, choir, and in the congregation. We invite
prospective families to worship with us and experience the S.I.
community.
Since 1974, Catholic Schools Week has been designated as a
celebration of Catholic education in the United States. It starts
the last Sunday in January and runs all week. The theme for
National Catholic Schools Week 2023 is “Catholic Schools:
Faith. Excellence. Service.” Schools typically observe the annual
celebration with activities for students, families, parishioners
and community members. Through these events, schools focus on the
value Catholic education provides to young people and its
contributions to our church, our communities and our
nation.
“A Holy Moment is a single moment in which you open yourself to
God. You make yourself available to him. You set
aside personal preference and self-interest, and for one moment
do what you prayerfully believe God is calling you to do.”

Moments was our gift to you for Christmas. Check it out

Our Ignatian virtues for January are “Learned and Wise.”
Students in a Jesuit school are growing to be learned, finding
God in all things; and wise in the ways they use their learning
for the common good.
Once again this year, we will use the Scripps National Spelling
Bee’s online testing platform to hold our grade level spelling
