Support Music

Art is the great cultural means of arousing our sympathies and removing our moral blind spots.

George Hegel

The Gift of Music

Exquisite music is synonymous with the Church of St. Ignatius Loyola. Rooted in the belief that music enhances prayer and provides the impetus for those seeking a deeper relationship with God. Our music staff—all accomplished professional musicians themselves—work diligently year-round to plan and produce an exceptional liturgical music program. All six weekend Masses feature an organist and/or pianist and a cantor; four adult and three children’s choirs enhance over 80 Masses per year. Our investment in state-of-the-art audiovisual systems ensures that livestream viewers can experience the extraordinary music as well.

Support Music at St. Ignatius

The parish makes a significant financial investment in its music program, but it doesn’t cover everything. Your gift will help defray our operational costs and will ensure that beautiful music will always be a part of parish life.
