The Ignatian Way is a year-long celebration of the life of our Parish. It is an initiative that has emerged from the collaboration of the parish’s staff and ministry council. The intention is to raise awareness and knowledge of the Parish, to nurture Ignatian identity and spirituality, and to allow the members of the Parish Community to become more acquainted with one another. We hope The Ignatian Way will help current and prospective parishioners come to know the Parish more deeply. Toward this end, the focus of our celebration will be directed to community, prayer, and service.
