​Faithful members of the St. Ignatius Community,
During this difficult time of Mass cancellations, please remember that the parish's main source of income is the Sunday collections.  Without this income, we will be challenged to meet our expenses, including the payment of staff wages.  If you are able during this time, please remember to still give to St. Ignatius by clicking on the Donate button below.  Thank you in advance of your generosity.

WE'VE ALL BEEN EXPOSED
by Sarah Bourns

We've all been exposed.
Not necessarily to the virus
(maybe...who even knows ).
We've all been exposed BY the virus.
Corona is exposing us.
Exposing our weak sides.
Exposing our dark sides.
Exposing what normally lays far beneath the surface of our souls,
hidden by the invisible masks we wear.
Now exposed by the paper masks we can't hide far enough behind.
Corona is exposing our addiction to comfort.
Our obsession with control.
Our compulsion to hoard.
Our protection of self.
Corona is peeling back our layers.
Tearing down our walls.
Revealing our illusions.
Leveling our best-laid plans.
Corona is exposing the gods we worship:
Our health
Our hurry
Our sense of security.
Our favorite lies
Our secret lusts
Our misplaced trust.
Corona is calling everything into question:
What is the church without a building?
What is my worth without an income?
How do we plan without certainty?
How do we love despite risk?
Corona is exposing me.
My mindless numbing
My endless scrolling
My careless words
My fragile nerves.
We've all been exposed.
Our junk laid bare.
Our fears made known.
The band-aid torn.
The masquerade done.
So what now? What's left?
Clean hands
Clear eyes
Tender hearts.
What Corona reveals, God can heal.
 
Come Lord Jesus.
Have mercy on us.

TODOS HEMOS SIDO EXPUESTOS
por Sarah Bourns

Todos hemos sido expuestos.
No necesariamente al virus
(Quizás ... quién sabe).
Pero todos hemos sido expuestos por el virus.
Corona nos está exponiendo.
Exponiendo nuestros lados débiles.
Exponiendo nuestros lados oscuros.
Exponiendo lo que normalmente se encuentra muy por debajo de la superficie de nuestras almas,
oculto por las máscaras invisibles que usamos.
Corona está exponiendo nuestra adicción a la comodidad.
Nuestra obsesión con el control.
Nuestra compulsión a atesorar.
Nuestra protección de uno mismo.
Corona está despegando nuestras capas.
Derribando nuestros muros.
Revelando nuestras ilusiones.
Tirando abajo nuestros mejores planes.
Corona está exponiendo a los dioses que adoramos:
Nuestra salud
Nuestra prisa
Nuestro sentido de seguridad.
Nuestras mentiras favoritas
Nuestras lujurias secretas
Nuestra confianza fuera de lugar.
Corona está cuestionando todo:
¿Qué es la iglesia sin un edificio?
¿Cuál es mi valor sin un ingreso?
¿Cómo planificamos sin certeza?
¿Cómo amamos a pesar del riesgo?
Corona me está exponiendo.
Mi insensible entumecimiento
Mi desplazamiento sin fin
Mis palabras descuidadas
Mis frágiles nervios.
Todos hemos quedado expuestos.
Nuestra basura puesta al descubierto.
Nuestros miedos se dieron a conocer.
La curita rota.
La farsa acabada..
¿Y ahora qué? ¿Qué es lo que queda?
Manos limpias
Ojos claros
Corazones tiernos
Lo que Corona revela, Dios puede sanar.
 
Ven Señor Jesús
Ten piedad de nosotros

Ignatian Services

​Ignatian Services is the social service expression of the Faith Community of St. Ignatius Church in Rogers Park. Its purpose is to provide assistance to those members of our neighborhood who are in need. Ignatian Services does not discriminate. The primary ministry of Ignatian Services is the distribution of food through our food pantry. We strive to develop new programs to help the disadvantaged members of our community to lead healthy lives-- body and soul. Together, out volunteers, benefactors, parishioners, and clients form a community.
Food Pantry Hours: Wednesday from 2pm-4pm and Friday from 10am-12pm.
