We’re pleased to share the logo for the celebration of our Parish and School’s 75th Anniversary! You will begin to see this logo whenever we recognize or promote events for these important milestones. The parish turns 75 in January 2021, and our school will be 75 in September 2022. The logo clearly illustrates our 75th Anniversary mission to commemorate our past, celebrate today, and recommit to a future in which we proclaim the joy of Jesus Christ found in our Church. Together, let’s “Go and set the world on fire!”
On behalf of the Jubilee Leadership, we’d like to thank Christine Ruhe, who used her talents to create the logo for us. She is the daughter of parishioners Peggy and Mike Ruhe. Any time you want to use our 75th Anniversary logo, please contact Melanie Crowe at 513-661-6565 or communications@sainti.org.
While the COVID-19 pandemic has delayed planning, we look forward to doing what we can to celebrate all things St. Ignatius. If you would like to volunteer for a subcommittee, please contact the appropriate chair.

Our tabernacle has been beautifully restored. The doors on the tabernacle were repaired and the whole tabernacle was cleaned and refurbished. The word “tabernacle” means dwelling place. Just as God dwelt with the Israelites in the desert, so too in the Eucharist, God dwells with His people and remains waiting for us to visit Him and to adore Him. Recognizing His Presence is also important. It is for this reason, that a candle is kept burning, acknowledging His Presence. For this reason, we should always, if we are physically able, genuflect in the Presence of our King whenever we pass in front of the tabernacle or enter into or exit from our pew. For this same reason, we maintain a reverential silence in church, acknowledging that God is with us.
Fruits of the #igivecatholic Campaign
You will notice upon entering church that a new tabernacle (temporary) is on the altar! Thanks to the gifts given for the #igivecatholic campaign in December, St. Ignatius of Loyola’s tabernacle is in the process of being restored! It was removed this past week, and will return in 4-8 weeks. Thank you for giving so generously to the #igivecatholic campaign on Giving Tuesday.
The ADULT VOLUNTEER APPRECIATION CELEBRATION will be held on Saturday, January 18, beginning with the 4:30 pm Mass.

My Dear Friends in Christ,
It is with both joy and gratitude that I share the results of “Giving Tuesday” with you. Our Church raised $36,641.00 online through #iGiveCatholicAOC and received an additional $11,300 from donors who wrote checks on Giving Tuesday. Additionally, St. Ignatius Parish had the greatest number of individual donors in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, thereby winning a prize of $1000, bringing the grand total for the parish to a whopping $48,941.00. St. Ignatius School also raised $14,303.50 online and was also awarded a $1000.00 prize, and $1000 cash donation, raising the most of any Archdiocesan elementary school. Between the church and the school, we raised $65,244.50!!
Thank you for blessing our community with your generosity on this special day of giving. Your prayers and support have been felt and appreciated, and we intend to be good stewards of the gifts you have entrusted to us as we go and set the world on fire!
Sincerely yours in Christ,
