OUR VISION
St. Ignatius is a welcoming and joyful spiritual home
where people encounter Jesus, choose to follow him, and become fully alive.
We are missionary disciples helping all people to know, love and serve Christ and His Kingdom. Our mission is to make disciples of all nations, starting here, starting now.
We are welcoming
Come as you are
Casual or dressed up — it’s up to you! There is no dress code. Even if you’ve never been to Mass before or have not been in a long time, there is always a place for you here at St. Ignatius.
Depending on your preference, we are proud to offer a contemporary band at the Sunday, 10am mass and more traditional music with organ and choir at the Saturday, 4:30pm. We also have screens to help you follow along.
We are joyful
Laugh and grow strong
St. Ignatius is a community where you can discover and experience the joy and love of Jesus and develop authentic relationships with others.
We are spiritual
One, holy, catholic, apostolic
St. Ignatius is a Roman Catholic church community committed to knowing, loving and serving Christ and His Kingdom. Our desire is that you may encounter Jesus and choose to follow Him.
We have found that the easiest, most fun way of encountering Jesus for the first time is on our Alpha course.
We are a home
The more the merrier
Bring your parents, your siblings, your children (and even your in-laws)! Nothing makes us happier than a church full of families. If needed, we have a Family Room in the back and a changing room available.
We offer special programs for kids and teens.

“Tend the flock of God that is in your charge, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion but willingly, as God would have you do it—not for sordid gain but eagerly. Do not lord it over those in your charge, but be examples to the flock.” 1 Peter 5:2-3
Rarely a day goes by that I do not learn something new from the amazing people I work with. That prospect excites me.

“What you are is God’s gift to you, what you become is your gift to God.” Hans Urs von Balthasar
It’s great to be able to use my God-given talents, and be a witness to God’s Spirit, as He transforms the lives of the people here. To see with my very own eyes, God’s love moving, as we help build His Kingdom, one person at a time.

“If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea.” Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
I love seeing how encountering Jesus changes people and brings them new life!

“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit.” John 15:5
What could be a greater honor than helping children come closer to God? I love the way St. Ignatius invites creativity, innovation, and positive energy.

“Concerning all acts of initiative and creation, there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too… Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now.” Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Great people, always lots of laughing! … Because if living your faith doesn’t significantly improve your life, then why bother?
