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,

Fr. Fernandes

Our High School Youth Ministry kickoff will take place on Wednesday, September 4, from 7 pm to 9:30 pm in the School Library. We will meet in the library then head outside to play shaving cream wiffle ball followed by a water fight! Finally, we’ll enjoy a bonfire with s’mores! Please wear clothes you won’t mind getting messy, and be sure to invite your friends! You do not have to be a parishioner at St. Ignatius to participate in youth group. All are welcome to attend this kickoff and the subsequent youth group meetings that will resume every Wednesday evening beginning Sept. 4.

Do you want to know more about the Christian Catholic Faith? Have you ever wondered why we Christian Catholics do the things we do, or believe what we believe? Are you thirsting for a good refresher course on the Christian Catholic Faith? Do you have questions on some of the basic beliefs we believe?

If so, we invite you to sign up for the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults. Do you feel called to strengthen your faith in companionship with others? While one can begin participation in the RCIA program at anytime, if you would like to join a group for this faith journey, baptized or not baptized, our fall –
spring series of weekly sessions will begin on Wednesday,
September 4, 2019.

In addition to those who wish to learn more about their Christian Catholic faith, we are also looking for Parish Sponsors who will join us in sharing our faith. This could be a perfect time to share your faith with others while renewing your own. For more information please call the Parish Office (513-661-6565) or
Len Johansing (513-470-8886).

St. Leo’s Food Pantry: Participate in the Hunger Walk on May 27 to help St. Leo’s Food Pantry. Questions? Call Paul or Geri Tengler (741.4758).

The Women’s Cancer Networking Group (started by St. Jude Church parishioners) is for women (and their female friends/ caregivers) who are newly diagnosed, currently undergoing treatments, or are survivors. Our next meeting will be on Wednesday, May 1 at 7:00 p.m. at Aroma’s on Bridgetown Road. This group is a mixture of spirituality, information, support, and social to help anyone currently going through cancer or for survivors who want to be revitalized and/or help and support newly-diagnosed women. If you are interested in attending or want additional information, please email Kathy Walsh at krwalsh7@gmail.com or call 513-607-4681

Next week, our parish will take up The Catholic Relief Services Collection. Funds from this collection provide food to the hungry, support displaced refugees, and bring Christ’s love and mercy to all people here and abroad. Next week, please give generously to the collection, and help Jesus in disguise. Learn more about the collection at www.usccb.org/catholic-relief.
