In the Catholic Church, stewardship is the idea that humans are stewards of God's creation and should care for the world and all life on it. Stewardship is a lifestyle of gratitude, responsibility, and accountability.

It is based on the idea that everything we have is a gift from God and that we should be generous and grateful with those gifts

Giving to St. Ignatius Parish through the Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) of IRAs or Retirement Plans

Many 73 and older take their Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) from their IRA or retirement plan at the beginning of each new calendar year.

 

You can satisfy a portion of your RMD through a qualified charitable distribution directly from your IRA or retirement plan. These monetary gifts to qualified charities (like St. Ignatius Loyola Parish) are not included in taxable income. 

 

Please consider naming us a beneficiary. Name:

  • Pastor of St. Ignatius Loyola Parish, Sacramento, a corporation sole, located at 3235 Arden Way, Sacramento, CA 95825

 

Contact Michelle Wyatt at mwyatt@stignatiussac.org or 916-744-5174 for Federal Tax ID number, other information you may need and to let us know you will be giving this to the Parish this way. Thank you!

My life has been enriched by Jesuit teaching and Ignatian spirituality offered in this parish. The gifts I have been blessed with are not for me to keep to myself. I am committed to supporting our parish, not only with my time and talent in care of the poor, but also with monetary contributions. Our financial support is vital to sustaining the work of the parish staff and the ministries that serve our parish community. All for the greater glory of God.

Senior Quest was inspired by members of our parish bereavement group and Senior Connections. For many once they had their grief and daily life balanced there was not enough for them to focus on. Good health and loneliness were motivating factors. Hence Senior Quest - a service and social group for seniors still standing gracefully. We sponsor trust seminars, Ignatian history presentations, sheriffs’ scam workshops, game days, potlucks, and an upcoming Advent bible study. These activities are open to all parishioners of any age. We rely on the support of the parish for the facility, advertising, and help from the staff.

The St. Ignatius Filipino-American (Fil-Am) fellowship and social ministry was launched in the fall of 2023. The first "project" we were given was to hold the quintessential Filipino Advent practice of a 9-day Simbang Gabi (SG) novena in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary. We held our first Simbang Gabi in December 2023. We couldn't have done it without the prayerful and financial support from the generous parishioners and school families at SI. The donations we collected from Simbang Gabi allowed us to be a more self-sustaining ministry and we continue to grow. We are grateful for the continued support from priests and staff at St. Ignatius and use of facilities to give the

Fil-Am a place to gather and celebrate.

Your gifts of Unrestricted Parish Support or Sunday Offering are what pays for church programming, staff, maintenance, and operations. This is our parish, our faith community, which is the source of so much support for us, for our families, and for our wider neighborhood community. Let us answer the call for help and share in the work of ensuring our viability and continued good works, all for the Greater Glory of God!"

What I love about our priests and staff here at S.I. is they are dedicated and supportive of our parish ministries. They show moral courage and kindness. Because I recognize and appreciate how exceptional our priests and staff are I have committed to financially supporting our Church."


Cheryl Mello

Pastoral Council Member

I believe in the Jesuit mission to develop men and women for others and therefore give to the parish. My Dad was Jesuit educated and I was fortunate to attend Creighton University where I received an excellent Jesuit education as well. I am happy to send my children to the parish school to continue our family tradition. Through my work with the church's St. Vincent de Paul ministry, I try to live out scripture teachings to be the hands of feet of Christ by serving the poor."
