About Our Ministry
Music and art are integral parts of the faith expression expected at Jesuit institutions. St. Ignatius Parish has a rich history of some of the best liturgical music in the Bay area. Besides the extraordinary beauty of our nearly 100 year old church there is also a dedicated art gallery within the sacred space.
Our musical tradition complements our religious practices, ceremonies, and rituals, supporting our prayers and offerings with hymns, psalms and acclamations. In keeping with the Vatican proclamation that church music reflect a “full, conscious and active participation in the liturgy,” we attempt to include a variety of musical styles. Our liturgical music and concerts include traditional and contemporary styles.

Stations of the CrossStations of the Cross came into popular practice in the 17th century. Specific elements are required for official recognition of Stations of the Cross by the Catholic Church, including a numbered wooden cross for each and validation by an authorized Franciscan. St Ignatius Church’s Stations fulfilled those expectations in 1939.
