Our Mission

St. Ignatius, Hickory, is the oldest, active parish in the Archdiocese of Baltimore, and is rooted in the Gospel, faith and tradition as a Roman Catholic Church.

As a Eucharist-centered community, we seek to love our triune God and one another by:

    -Proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus and His Real Presence among us in the Eucharist;
    -Challenging one another to grow in holiness;
    -Welcoming those who are interested in learning more about our faith;
    -Inviting all who wish to worship with us;
    -Joining with other churches and community groups in comforting those who are sick, suffering, lonely, and less fortunate.

With thanksgiving to the Father, we profess our hope in Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit throughout the third millennium and beyond.
