Goal: We are hoping the balance on the loan will stand around $1 million by the end of 2028.
Thank you to our parishioners and community for helping us reach this remarkable milestone! As of the end of March 2026, the debt on the school building and parish offices stood just under $2 million–down from $5 million when we began Phase 2 in October 2022. This incredible progress is a testament to your generosity and commitment to our parish and school community.
Pledges continued to come in during the first quarter of 2026, the second quarter typically sees less activity.
Pledge thermometers showing status for anyone currently pledging are being sent this week and next. If you do not receive yours, or have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact Fr. Michael Tyrrell, S.J. at mtyrrell@stignatiussac.org or 916-744-5167.
We are grateful to all who continue to fulfill their pledges, as well as those who remember the Capital Campaign with one-time gifts. Your generosity makes a lasting difference and brings us closer to our goal.
A Message from Fr. Tom Lucas
In the early 1950s, young families saw their future in Arden Arcade’s open fields. In their time, moved by their faith, they prayed together, built a grammar school and then a church.
That vision and that faith continues to inspire the families of St. Ignatius Loyola Parish and School almost seven decades later. Our church and school communities have grown, adapted, & evolved. Necessary changes have occurred, most recently with the construction of a new state-of-the-art grammar school and parish offices, dedicated in 2019. That huge project required heroic effort and the investment of $12.2 million. We continue to pay off this investment today. Current pledges run through the end of 2028, at which point we are hoping the loan balance stands around $1 million. New pledges and on-going one-time gifts are always appreciated as they off-set costs with those who can't always continue making pledge payments and help us pay off the loan faster thereby reducing interest payments.
