Want to go deeper in our Catholic faith?

Consider coming to Tolle et Lege book conversations, which is a conversation over a different book each month (option of morning or evening session), led by Brad Macke, Director of Adult Faith Formation.

Tolle et lege is Latin for “take and read”, which St. Augustine heard a voice say to him toward the beginning of his conversion to Christianity. His conversion involved his heart and his “head” (intellect) – a reminder that the Catholic faith affirms the importance of growing intellectually, since the more we KNOW Jesus, the more we can LOVE Him.

We will read a variety of books ranging from general Catholic topics, to spiritual writing for meditation, to works of literature. Books are typically purchased by the parish in bulk (discounted), then for sale in the parish office. See the line up of selected books and the schedule on this page.

We wanted to send a quick thank you to ALL of you for your help, prayers, and generosity for all our successful Mary Garden Showers at St. I’s.

Thank you for all the help coordinating the students cards and prayer books, providing the beautiful desserts, helping set up and decorate, clean up, talking to family and friends at the shower, and especially keeping our MGS Mom’s in your prayers – we could not make an impact without everyone! 

We will be in touch and if you have any questions, suggestions, etc. as we continue this ministry please do not hesitate to share. We are so thankful for you all!

Additional information please email:  marygardenshowers@sainti.org. 

Our Walking with Moms in Need (WWM) year of service continues and with the support of Bishop Fernandes, we have launched St. Ignatius as an official Mary Garden Showers (MGS) chapter! This ministry is a way that our parish can serve those in need beyond our WWM year of service. We will host baby showers a few times a year at St. Ignatius for women referred to us through Pregnancy Center West (PCW). MGS is truly an entire parish ministry; everyone is invited to attend the showers to celebrate the mom, pray with her, and provide needed gifts from her registry. Being present to these women can be just as great of a gift as a material gift, and is a way to evangelize and share Christ’s love. More details to come, but there will be many different ways that you as a parishioner can participate.

The MGS we host at St. Ignatius are meant to complement the work that the Respect Life Committee does to support PCW through their Baby Bottle Drives. The goal is for the parish to continue to support those drives as we have in the past since they are crucial to providing funds and needed items for PCW in their mission to support and protect life. With the addition of MGS, our parish will be helping women in need on two levels: helping a lot of women in a small way through the Baby Bottle Drive and helping a few women in a larger way by accompanying and supporting them with our MGS. Both will help our community to spread love and support to women in need!

We also have been working with the Archdiocese of Cincinnati (AoC) to help them update their website to include our list of researched, local resources for women in need. The AoC website will house links to these organizations for all parishes to reference to help direct those in need. We hope to share that link with you this fall.

We thank you in advance for your continued prayers and support!
