'''St. Ignatius College Prep.''' is a private [[Society of Jesus|Jesuit]] [[Catholic]] college prep school located near downtown [[Chicago]], [[Illinois]]. It was founded in 1869 by Father Arnold Damen, for whom famous north-south Damen Avenue in Chicago was named. It is a diocesan school under the authority of the [[Archdiocese of Chicago]].
St. Ignatius is located several miles Southwest of downtown Chicago in what was previously open prairie next to swampy grasslands. Father Arnold was originally criticized for choosing a location for Holy Family Parish far from worshippers, but he replied "I shall not go to the people; I shall draw the people to me."<ref>http://www.ignatius.org/jesuit_history.aspx</ref> St. Ignatius is now in the heart of the city, located a few miles from Old St. Pat's Catholic Church, an important center of Irish Catholic culture in Chicago. It is just a few blocks north of the University of Illinois at Chicago and its new University Village development of the former Maxwell Street area.
