November 1st is the Solemnity of All Saints, and November 2nd is All Souls’ Day, when the Global Church prays for all our faithful departed. This year, for our annual Requiem Mass, the choir and our chamber orchestra present Morten Lauridsen’s Lux Aeterna in its entirety.
St. Alphonsus Rodríguez, S.J.'s Feast Day is October 31. We invite you to come to the Chapel of St. Alphonsus Rodríguez, S.J. here in St. Ignatius Church, on this day, this month, or any time. Born in 1532 to a working-class Spanish family, Alphonsus Rodríguez faced many hardships— he lost his father at age 13, lost his own wife and children to a plague outbreak, and suffered a business bankruptcy that left him desolate and in poor health. When he applied to become a Jesuit priest, even the Jesuits initially rejected him as too infirm and unqualified.
I was honored to be part of the delegation from St. Ignatius Parish that recently traveled to El Salvador to renew our bond with our sister parish, the San Antonio de Padua Parish in Soyapango. In June, this group of 9 parishioners went with Fr. Greg to El Salvador. The delegation went to celebrate the 100-year anniversary of the founding of Parroquia San Antonio — and the 25-year anniversary of our sister parish covenant.
Join us at all Masses on October 24 and 25 for Voting in Communion Sunday! Parishioners are invited to bring their mail-in ballots to Mass to receive a blessing as we reflect on our shared commitment to civic engagement and the common good.
Stop by our voter resource table after 10am Mass on Sunday 10/25 for information on voting deadlines and election resources.
All are welcome for 30 minutes of guided group prayer and movement facilitated by St. Ignatius Parish staff member Patrick K. Take 30 minutes to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with God. Through gentle stretching, guided reflection on your day, and simple song prayer, we’ll explore prayer inspired by the Ignatian Examen. No experience necessary. Come with loose and comfortable clothing and a towel, blanket, or yoga mat.
This activity takes place on the grassy quad outside St. Ignatius Church. Consider attending after our 8am Mass, before our 10am Mass, or before our 5pm Mass depending on your schedule.
Join us for a letter-writing event in support of immigrants currently being held in ICE detention centers. This gathering is a simple but meaningful way to offer care, encouragement, and connection to people who may be feeling isolated or forgotten. By writing letters, we can remind individuals in detention that there are people in the wider community who are standing with them.
