Forming Leaders, Scholars and
Men for Others

Our Summer Enrichment Program begins on Tuesday, July 7 and will conclude on Friday, July 24.

Due to school closures, Mamma Mia! has been postponed until July 17-19, 2020. The Saint Ignatius Harlequins have been hard at work and are excited to bring the spring musical to life this summer.

We have rescheduled the Graduation Ceremony, previously scheduled for May 24, in order to gather properly as a community to honor the Class of 2020.

You and your family are invited to join the Saint Ignatius High School community as we gather to celebrate the feast day of St. Ignatius Loyola.

As Christians, we must ask: Where did the seed land in my life? Am I one who hears, but does not understand? Have I fallen away from Jesus and His Church because I have no deep roots? Have I chosen the riches of this world and give only lip-service to the Gospel? Or have I taken the Good News to heart and produced good fruit?

It was an extraordinary first year for The Welsh Academy, the middle school at Saint Ignatius that opened in August 2019. Once the dream of former president Fr. Robert J. Welsh, S.J. '54, this past school year was the fulfillment of his vision; it is certain he would have been proud to see all that has come to pass.

One of the most memorable of the long list of impressive honorary degree recipients at Harvard was the Russian writer and exiled former prisoner of the Soviet state, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. In 1978, he gave what has become possibly the most famous graduation address in the history of American higher education. Its lessons reverberate today.

Children bring life to a street in more ways than they could imagine as they remind us of our own carefree summer days. But they also help us to recall the words of Jesus, both in this weekend’s Gospel as well as throughout the New Testament, that children hold a special place in His heart and in the Father’s Kingdom. We would do well to have child-like hearts.
