Rev. Michael Hilbert, S.J.Arriving at St. Ignatius in 2014 was in many ways a homecoming. I grew up in White Plains, went to Fordham Prep, and after graduating from college in 1973, I entered the New York Province of the Jesuits. My life as a Jesuit was spent mostly abroad—first in the Philippines, then China, and finally in Rome, as a professor of Canon Law. Breathing my native air again, and serving as Associate Pastor, have re-awakened me to the joys of parish life and the grace of my vocation.
Rev. William Bergen, S.J.I am a native New Yorker, born in the Hamilton Heights area of Manhattan, a graduate of Our Lady of Lourdes Grammar School, Regis High School, and Fordham College Rose Hill campus. After college, I was drafted in the U.S. Army and spent two years stateside just after the Korean war had ended. Upon my discharge, I entered the Jesuits and was ordained in 1965. I embarked on graduate studies in theology at Catholic University in Washington, D. C. and then taught theology at St. Peter’s College in Jersey City for six years. I was always drawn to parish work and began my parish ministry at St. Ignatius Loyola parish in Baltimore. In 1989 I came home to St. Ignatius Loyola Church in Manhattan.
Fernando CastroI have been the Treasurer for St. Ignatius Loyola Church, St. Ignatius Loyola Grammar School, and Preschool since 2005. I manage and oversee all financial affairs of the Parish organization. There is a great sense of community working towards a common goal at St. Ignatius, and this makes it an enjoyable work environment.
Bob CisterninoI have been at St. Ignatius Loyola church since 2017. Being involved in our life safety upgrades, elevator project, and ambitious livestreaming program is proof to me that we are building a home for everyone. St. Ignatius feels like home to me and is unlike anywhere I have worked before. From the leadership on down, the environment I experience inspires me to be better.
Elizabeth O’SullivanRaised practically steps from St. Ignatius Loyola, I am a native of New York City and the Upper East Side.
A graduate of Dominican Academy and Manhattan College, I’ve held editorial roles in the book and magazine publishing industries. As an editor for book producer The Reference Works, I developed and produced titles for Sterling Publishing, a Barnes & Noble subsidiary. Transitioning to magazines, I became Associate Editor for the NYSE Euronext publication Corporate Board Member Magazine. In 2013, I pivoted once more, joining the parish staff and returning to my spiritual and neighborhood roots.
Kate NoonanI am thrilled to work with the youth of the St. Ignatius of Loyola Parish this year as the director of our Interparish Religious Education Program (IREP). I have spent the last ten years in Youth Faith Formation ministry and truly value the sense of community youth faith formation brings to a parish. The enthusiasm of the IREP teachers is contagious!
Jean SantopatreSince joining the staff at St. Ignatius Loyola in August 2019 as a Pastoral Associate for Social Justice, Young Adults, and Family Ministry, I have reconnected with my New York roots. It is an utter joy to be a part of a vibrant and warm parish community grounded in social justice.
I stay in communication with my ministries by creating inspirational Flocknotes and weekly visual sermons.
I am delighted to be a spiritual director and companion with parishioners in Ignatian Spirituality and care for our common home and family.
