Renaming Father Hilvert Center & Naming New Building
In an effort to be transparent with the community, we would like to provide concise information regarding the name change of the Father Hilvert Center. Members of the Pastoral Team and Parish Council were consulted and all were in agreement about the change in name … especially in light of what the parish has gone through this past month.
Father Hilvert had credible abuse allegations from the 1950’s/1960’s. These claims were made after Father Hilvert was deceased. Due to this information, it was decided to rename the Father Hilvert center to “Loyola Hall.”
It was also decided to name the new building across the street “Ignatius Center.” In the future we will look to name the rooms in this building with Jesuit saint names.
We are working to help the community heal during this difficult time. Although, it will take time, we will get through this transition, and grow stronger as a community.
St. Ignatius, pray for us!
