As of the close of the 2025-26 school year, our Mother of Sorrows St. Ignatius of Loyola has consolidate into the Independence Mission Schools Network.

Families with children enrolled at OMSSI continue to have the opportunity to enroll within the IMS network of 13 other schools located throughout the city, including St. Frances Cabrini Catholic School or St. Rose of Lima Catholic School, both located within 2.5 miles of OMSSI. This policy also applies to new families that have already enrolled at OMSSI for the 2026-27 school year.

With enrollment questions, please reach out to Tom Whittle, Deputy Chief – Operations & Enrollment, Independence Mission Schools, at twhittle@imsphila.org.

For historical school records, please contact the parish.

For all other inquiries, please contact Elizabeth Alfonsi, Chief of Staff,
