Principal's Message
-
Dear St. Ignatius of Antioch Parents, Faculty, Students, and Parishioners,
I am truly honored to serve as the principal of St. Ignatius of Antioch Elementary School. I thank Fr.
Brownholtz, the parish staff, the school faculty and staff, the parishioners, and the entire school
community of parents and students for their support of the school. St. Ignatius has a long history of
academic success, faith, and a family atmosphere, not to mention its presence in the Archdiocese of
Philadelphia, the birthplace of parish schools. The legacy of the Sisters of St. Francis, the generosity of
the parish community in supporting the school’s expansion and improvement, and the Blue Ribbon
status of the school are wonderful testaments to the strength of the school. We continue to build on
these strong foundations and to work with parents and all constituents as partners in the education of
the students in the school.
My faith in God has always been first and foremost in my life, and I am devoted to my family and to my
students. I believe in modeling my faith by my words and actions, and this core belief guides me as I
lead St. Ignatius of Antioch School.
I believe that children deserve a relevant, rigorous education, as well as experiences that stretch the
boundaries of their learning. I am especially grateful to the faculty and staff, who bring relevance and
rigor to the classroom on a daily basis.
St. Ignatius of Antioch wrote seven letters to seven churches on his way to his eventual martyrdom. In
his letter to the Smyrneans, St. Ignatius wrote, “For the chief points of our lives are faith towards God,
hope towards Christ, the enjoyment of those good things for which we look, and love towards God and
our neighbor.”
May God bless us all, and let us bring faith, hope, joy, and love to all in our community!
