Today is the feast of St. Ignatius, the founder of the Jesuit order. Have you noticed that some priests and most sisters have initials after their names? Those designate which order (group) they belong to. For instance, our pastor is Fr. David Fitzgerald, S.A. - which stands for "Society of Atonement" one of the many varieties of Franciscans (who were founded by St. Francis). The Jesuits are "S.J.", which stand for "Society of Jesus".
Would you like to learn more about St. Ignatius? Here's a nine minute video that will help!
