Women's Society

The Saint Ignatius Women's Society supports the Ignatius tradition of men and women for others by being philanthropic leaders for the benefit of the current Saint Ignatius students.

The Women's Society is comprised of a diverse community of parents, alumni, and friends. We engage, reflect, and support the school's mission through philanthropic efforts, service, and events for the Ignatius family to connect together in a meaningful way.

IN HONOR OF OUR MOTHERS

Launched in 2019, the Saint Ignatius Women’s Society has developed a program centered around Mothers.

The "In Honor of Our Mothers" program is a heartfelt and meaningful way to send love and gratitude to mothers and mother figures who have made a difference in our lives in a special tribute while also making a difference in the lives of Ignatius students.

In keeping with the Women’s Society Mission, the “In Honor of Our Mothers” Program is an opportunity for Saint Ignatius students, parents, alumni, and friends to make a contribution to the school's Tuition Assistance Program.
