St. Ignatius Loyola Parish

Welcome to the St. Ignatius Parish Website!

Marty Haugen wrote a song for worship in 1994 entitled “All Are Welcome.” Whether you have been one of the parishioners who founded this parish, someone who has been part of our faith community for some time or you are a newcomer to our parish and website, know that you are welcome here! We are a Catholic Community who strive to listen to God’s Word, share the meal that Jesus left us, and carry on his ministry of healing, reconciliation and loving service through our various ministries to God’s people.

As you explore our website, you will find pictures and information about our worship, our catechetical and sacramental preparation programs, our social ministries and mission outreach, as well as our St. Ignatius Parish School. There are so many ways to be involved in the life of our faith community. There is no better way to discover your faith, explore your faith or deepen your faith than to join us in our worship, education and service ministries. Through all of these opportunities, we both challenge and support one another in realizing the great goal of our patron saint (St. Ignatius of Loyola) “to find God in all things.”

Please know that at St. Ignatius of Loyola Parish, the only Jesuit parish in the Diocese of Sacramento, “all are welcome here.”

In gratitude and great hope,

Fr. Michael E. Moynahan, S.J.
Pastor
