Mass on Saturday, August 23, will be celebrated at 3:30 pm (instead of 4:30). We hope to see you there!
Festival Cleanup Help Needed
Festival clean up will be Monday, August 25th beginning at 8:30 a.m. Workers of all ages are needed to clean up and put things back in order after the festival!
This is a great opportunity for students to earn service hours. Many hands make light work and will make it much more fun! This is an area where friends and families can make a big difference together! No special skills needed, just a willing heart to pitch in!
Activities include: wiping down & storing tables, removing booth netting & parking lot signage, and general event closeout. A delicious lunch will be provided after cleanup to all those present at noon!
Questions? Email us at festival@sainti.org Hope to see you on Monday, August 25th at 8:30 a.m. Thanks so much!
Volunteers Still Needed
We still have several open spots for booth volunteers. Please help to ensure our festival is a success! Click here to sign up!

“Please join us in welcoming our new parish staff members! Chris Denman is our new Coordinator of Parish Communications, and Beth Scholl is our new Coordinator of Youth Faith Formation.
Their bios with more information are included below.
Welcome to St. Ignatius, Chris and Beth!” -Fr. Umberg
——————————
Thank yous are already in order for the warm welcome I have received at St. Ignatius of Loyola Church! My name is Beth Scholl, and I am excited to join the parish staff as the new Coordinator of Youth Faith Formation. Upon feeling called to teach young minds, especially about the beauty of our Catholic Faith, I returned to school to earn a Master’s degree in Education, and also took some courses at the Athenaeum. I have 12 years teaching experience in parochial schools and 8 years directing parish religious education for students, while working in other parish roles for St. Joseph Church North Bend, including Adult Faith Formation.
I was blessed to grow up in a strong Catholic home, and to be able to share my faith with my husband, Dave, our two grown children, Tori (Austin), and Drew (Taylor) and our first grandchild, Blaine, in addition to all the families I have met through multiple Catholic Churches. And now I am blessed even more to share the Good News with the parishioners of St. Ignatius! God is good, and we all need to embrace that we live “For the Greater Glory of God,” so that others may believe and have eternal life. God bless!

Hello! My name is Chris Denman, and I’m very excited to join the St. Ignatius team as Coordinator of Parish Communications! The St. Ignatius community has been, and continues to be, a welcoming and meaningful part of my family’s life. All six of my children (Alexis, Cameron, Grayson, Clare, Lily, and Zach) are either current students or alumni of the school. Along with my wife, Sarah, we have been parishioners for over a decade.
My professional background is in technical communications. I earned a bachelor’s degree in computer science and a master’s degree in technical and scientific communications. I worked for nearly a decade for an IT consulting firm before becoming a private consultant for two years. Before taking this role, I was blessed with the opportunity to be a stay-at-home parent for my children. With my youngest child entering full-day kindergarten starting this fall, I was ready to apply my God-given talents to a new venture, and that’s when I discovered this opportunity. Now I’m excited to do what I love as an advocate for the community I care so deeply about. I look forward to working with and for you all. Praise God!
There’s only one month until St. Ignatius IGGYFest 2025! Join us the weekend of August 22-24 for live music, games, rides, and more! Please visit https://sainti.org/festival/ for more information and to learn how you can volunteer!
