How can a family of four donate to the school without spending an extra dime? Well, on average a family of four could donate over $600. Your spending may vary from the example shown. Just think if every family in the school (186 families) would use HOPE cards for their regular spending instead of cash the school could raise $111,600.00 in just a single year. To keep the cost of quality, Catholic education within reach of more families, the tuition of every student enrolled at St. Ignatius, Martyr, Catholic School continues to be subsidized by the generous support of our Parish and many friends. Today, the gap between per-pupil cost and the tuition and fees assessed each student is over $1000. Please consider being one of those families who helps support St. Ignatius, Martyr, School in the HOPE program.

Order forms are in the back of church, in the church office, and at the school. The cards are sold after every Mass, every weekend. The cards are also sold at the school at the following times:  Read More »

 Congratulations to St. Ignatius. We have passed our goal of 200 coats. I turned in my final batch of coats this afternoon, giving us a grand total of 207 coats. Thanks for all the help and support from the board and co-chairs. I am so glad we were able to fulfill our goal.
