Ignatius parishes. In partnership with the family, we are dedicated to nurturing the personal development of the whole child.

Nurturing the personal development of the whole child includes spiritual, intellectual, emotional, social and physical growth.
Each student is accepted as a unique individual with gifts and limitations.
The staff will strive to help each child to recognize and develop his/her own gifts to the highest potential.

The Theological virtues of faith, hope and love provide the firm foundation for Catholic values.
These values are numerous but include honesty, respect and justice.
