Welcome... For more than two centuries, the people of St. Ignatius have worked and worshipped together for the greater glory of God. Our beloved parish is the mother of six other parishes, and we continue to work to spread the Word of our Lord. We feel a strong connection to the dear ones who have gone before us, leaving a legacy of love. We look forward to continuing that legacy and welcome with open arms all who wish to worship here.

St. Ignatius Warmly Welcomes BRAC Families. If we can do anything to make your transition to our area and parish easier, please call one of our staff. Welcome!
