"St. Ignatius parish and school have needed a multi-purpose building for a long, long time. Our
ancestors made sacrifices to build our beautiful church. Now it's our turn!"
Denny and Elaine Glosemeyer, life-time parishioners

"We had our kids to put through school, and the older generation helped us. Our generation
has not had to build any buildings, and it is time for us to help the younger generation. The
younger generation can help with labor if not financially. St. Ignatius has always carried
its own load."
Linus Westhoff, parishioner for 74 years

"I believe this building project is essential for growth and vitality of our parish. I also
believe this project can be accomplished with the prayers, financial support, and donated
talent of all our parish family."
Ralph Glosemeyer, parishioner for 57 years

"The school is the focal point of the parish campus. If we don't build soon, there is a strong
possibility it will close and the parish will become stagnant. This area is growing; we need to
be ready to accommodate the growth. It is only a matter of time."
Syd Fees, Parish Council

"...The parish is growing at a much quicker pace than many realize. We need to capitalize on this
growth by making the right decisions now based on the same faith and logic that our parents and
grandparents had and keep St. Ignatius Church and school a place where we can provide our
children and grandchildren with one of the best educations possible in an atmosphere with
lots of good old fashioned family values. Let's all have faith in God and faith in each
other to move this parish forward for the generations to come..."
Dave Peters, past consulter and parishioner for 47 years

"A parish center would be exactly what is says, a central place for all, young and old alike,
to gather - for work or play - or to comfort each other. It is a first step toward continuing
a generation old tradition of helping each other and educating our children." Sue Hector, Parish Council and life-time parishioner
