For Pope Francis' first intention of this new year, he asks us to pray for Human Fraternity: "Let us pray that the Lord may give us the grace to live in full fellowship with our brothers and sisters of other religions and not fight each other, and praying for one another, open ourselves to all."

This week, we moved into our brand new space but, worry not, we’re not leaving 980 Park Avenue. That’s because we launched our new website—a project nearly a year in the making! We invite you to visit us at our new home on the internet at ignatius.nyc.
As with all we do here at St. Ignatius, the site was developed with you—our parishioners and friends—in mind. The new website was designed to better reflect the warm, vibrant, and inclusive parish community we are. What makes St. Ignatius truly a home is the people—and our new website allows you to see the faces of the staff who keep this extraordinary parish running and the ministry members who contribute their time and treasure to tend to the beating heart of this community.
So, we invite you to visit our new digital space: View a few of the videos (How else will you learn who our Director of Religious Education’s favorite saint is?), read about our amazing parish history (and, see what our first Parish House on East 84th Street and Fourth Avenue looked like), get to know the members of our amazing Choir of St. Ignatius Loyola (did you know our Gentleman Farmer Philip Anderson also sings?), and go on a tour to see the construction progress of our Capital Campaign projects (and, hear the story behind the gorgeous stained glass windows in the Kelly Loggia).
And, of course, we want to hear your feedback. Please send your questions and comments to communications@saintignatiusloyola.org.
Welcome to our new site. Make yourself at home.
— Elizabeth O’Sullivan, Director of Communications

In his Wednesday, January 6th homily, Fr. Bergen highlights that, during these times of uncertainty and turmoil, we should be buoyed by Jesus' words to the disciples after he walked across the Sea of Galilee: "Take courage. It is I. Do not be afraid." For, no matter what, God is always present, because "[w]hen we're living the right kind of life, God is living within us; making his temple within us."

Webinar: “At Work I’m In Charge, In Church I’m Invisible”
Tuesday, January 26th at 7:00 PM on Zoom
Part of the 2021 Lecture Series
“Catholic Women: Agents of Peace and Trust in the Church and in the World”
As Catholics and Americans, we face many challenges as we look to the future. Within the church, we struggle with a loss of confidence by many of the faithful, including our own family members and colleagues. The Coronavirus pandemic has further strained the church and other institutions that were formerly a source of stability, such as our health care system and even the stability of our democracy. We have assembled a panel of Catholic women physicians and scientists who will share how their faith has informed their professional development and their response to these challenges, and the solutions they envision for the future.
To register, click here.
Panelists:
Moderator: Dr. Paula Olsiewski, Ph.D., Contributing Scholar, Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security
Dr. Maria Jasin, Ph.D., Researcher, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
Dr. Mary Brady, MD, FACS, Surgeon, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
Dr. Sarah Lilly, MD, Internal Medicine, Lenox Hill Hospital

Celebrating Women: Past Present Future
Women of St. Ignatius! Come and be photographed for our March 11th celebration!
Almost 75 of you have already been photographed. Which is great—but we want to double that!
All of you are “ministers” of our parish—no matter how small you think your contribution is. Moms who pass on our faith, women who pray for the sick, women lectors and Eucharistic ministers, women catechists, women who pray as part of the St. Ignatius faith community, women ushers—it’s not possible to name all the ways you live your faith. We want you ALL to be photographed, not because you are looking for recognition. But because our pastor and staff and all those who benefit from your life of faith and service and your fellow parishioners—both men and women—believe strongly that it’s only right and just.
Don’t let a false sense of modesty keep you away! And don’t let COVID! We will be taking photos in the large space of Wallace Hall in a safe way, wearing masks (except for the actual photo, of course) and keeping a social distance.
PLEASE COME TO ONE OF OUR PHOTO SHOOTS! We will be taking photos on Saturday, January 23rd from 9 AM-12 PM and 1 PM-4 PM, and on Sunday, January 24th from 1 PM-5 PM. Click here for more information.
