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) "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
