A Warm Welcome is extended to all who have come to Saint Ignatius and to the Chapel of Saint Ann to join together in this community of worship and praise to Almighty God. We are grateful to our faithful parishioners who come to our church every weekend. Also, we welcome our neighbors and guests who visit us occasionally and want them to know they are always welcome.
St. Ignatius Church was established in 1885 for Irish Immigrants who settled in what is now Pringle. St. Hedwig's Church (Polish) was established in 1901 and St. Mary's Annunciation church (Lithuanian) was established in 1902. These three were consolidated into St. Ignatius Loyola Parish in 2007-2009. This blending has brought a new awareness of ethnic customs and spirituality. St. Ignatius Loyola Parish remains committed to exemplifying a contemporary approach to Church. It is active in liturgy, social outreach, cultural exchange, and spirituality. In line with diocesan guidelines, the Parish Pastoral Council continues to form a plan based on the areas of Word, Worship, Community, and Service, as put forth by Bishop Joseph Bambera in his pastoral letter, Wounded and Loved, Regathering the Scattered.
Based on the Bishop's pastoral, Wounded and Loved, Regathering the Scattered, the ministries of the parish can be structured around Word, Worship, Community and Service and implemented by Servant Leadership.

At the end of his homily Wednesday in Saint Peter’s Square for the Opening of the Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops, Pope Francis asked that everyone join him on Monday, October 7, for a Day of Prayer and Fasting for Peace in the World.
Monday will mark the one-year anniversary of the Hamas attack on Israel.
“Brothers and sisters, we begin anew our synodal path with an eye toward the world, since the Christian community is always at the service of humanity in order to announce the joy of the Gospel,” Pope Francis said. “In such a dramatic time in our history, when the winds of war and the flames of violence continue to devastate entire peoples and nations, there is a need for this message.”
Faithfully yours in Christ,
†Joseph C. Bambera
Most Reverend Joseph C. Bambera, D.D, J.C.L.
Bishop of Scranton
