Our Students

Student Body: Students come to Our Mother of Sorrows or Saint Ignatius of Loyola from a great variety of cultural, religious, and socio-economic backgrounds. Some students are second or third generation alumni, while others are first generation immigrants. Three out of four live with one parent or a non parent family member. Over 65% qualify for free or reduced price lunch. Some walk to school, while others are driven over half an hour. One factor that unites our children and school families is a belief in the value and life-changing importance of a quality Catholic education.

Student Accomplishments: We congratulate our alumni for having made great accomplishments! If you are an alumni, please stay in touch!

School History

“Students today have so many

           more tools than I did when I 

     graduated from Our Mother of  

            Sorrows just ten years ago.”
