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:
In the movie Dead Man Walking, Sr. Helen Prejean, played by Susan Sarandon, paid a home visit to the Delacroix family to extend her sympathy to them. Their daughter was murdered by a hardened criminal named Matthew Poncelet. She brought them a pie, and they welcomed her as any good Cajun Catholic home would welcome a Catholic sister. They perceived her visit signaled that she came to her senses and was won over to their way of seeing things: that Poncelet deserved the needle, to be put to death. How wrong they were. Sr. Helen told them she would be his chaplain. She was against the death penalty. They kicked her out.
