The Food Bank is Still in Need!
Many food banks report that donations are markedly down. Unfortunately hunger, also euphemistically known as "food insecurity," is not and in many areas is rising. Please share your food when you come to mass. This is an act of radical hospitality, helping others in an unconditional manner. Your generosity is greatly appreciated.
Mass Schedule
Mass is celebrated with great joy each Sunday at 10:30 AM in the upstairs chapel. We don't like secrets at St. Ignatius, so bring a friend! Let the word out that there is a place for catholics that is just, faithful and open to spiritual growth.
Dignity Seattle celebrates mass on the second Sunday of each month at 6:00 PM in the main sanctuary.

Fr. Philip will be gone on August 3 and 10. Our first mass in August will be August 17. Join the RUMC community for worship on those first two Sundays.

Celebrate Our Patron's Feast
July 31st is the feast day of Saint Ignatius of Loyola, the patron of our house. Ignatius of Loyola was the founder of the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits). He was born 1491 died 1556. A gifted spiritual director, he compiled The Spiritual Exercises, based on his own experiences and as a means for guiding his followers. Ignatius has been described as being above all a man of God, who gave the first place of his life to God and a man of profound prayer.
We will celebrate his feast day this Sunday, July 27. Come and enjoy a pancake buffet after mass, a chance to socialize with one another and with the members of our host community, Ravenna United Methodist Church.
