Live the Gospel,Whatever it takes!
Welcome to St. Ignatius Catholic Community in the Mount Vernon section of downtown Baltimore.
Over a thousand people have found a spiritual home here—people of all ages, cultures, and in different seasons of life. Families are encouraged, children are nurtured, older people are supported, and college students are challenged.
As a Jesuit parish, we encourage people to reflect on their experiences and to discern God’s presence in their lives. Our desire is to nurture lay leadership as well as personal faith a “faith that does justice” by way of solidarity with the poor and dedication to the greater good.
Parish 'The Thought'
This week:
Jim Carrey played Fletcher Reede in a film “Liar Liar.” Everyone knew that Fletcher lied his way through life, even his son. While blowing out the candles on his birthday cake, this little boy wished that his father would stop lying for just one day. This wish turned Fletcher’s life into a chaotic mess. It forced him to tell the truth in every circumstance. It’s a humorous movie that came to mind while praying over this week’s Gospel.
