The Arimathea Ministry at Saint Ignatius

The Arimathea Ministry at Saint Ignatius operates at the goodwill of the faculty and staff, who make many sacrifices so that our students may serve those who have no one else to accompany them to their final resting places. 

As an acknowledgment of your patience with our student pallbearers and as a sign of thanks for your gracious spirits, we share with you some images from last Saturday’s outdoor prayer service.  Fr. Bernie Streicher, SJ, led our boys in prayer at Potter’s Field, where prayer is conspicuously absent at the time of burial.

Please know how grateful we are for your support of the Arimathea Ministry. 

On behalf of the student-leaders of the Arimathea Ministry,

Mr. Dan Baron

Mr. James Skerl

BY EDDIE DWYER, COPYRIGHT OCTOBER 2011

In his 29 seasons as the head football coach at Saint Ignatius High School, Chuck Kyle ’69 has seen it all when it comes to dramatic endings or strange plays.

In fact, in the days leading up to Saturday’s annual showdown with Cincinnati St. Xavier, Coach Kyle spoke several times about the one, two or three big plays that always seem to decide the outcome between the Wildcats and the Bombers.

Simply put, big plays are nothing new to either tradition-rich Jesuit School program.

But what happened in the final seconds of St. Xavier’s 14-12 victory at John Carroll University on this blue-gray sky and sunshine “
