Ignacia grew up as an only child from age six because her siblings, Rafaela, Santiago and Juana dela Concepcion all died in infancy. She learned her first prayers from her mother who also taught her the basic tenets of the Catholic faith and the practice of Christian piety.
Ignacia was the eldest and the sole surviving child of Maria Jeronima, an yndia, and Jusepe Iuco, a pure Chinese immigrant from Amoy, China, who was converted to the Catholic faith in 1652 and resided in Binondo, Manila. When Ignacia was 21 years old, her parents wanted her to marry.
