HARVEST THE JOY - ST. IGNATIUS WEEKEND CELEBRATION
Plans are under way for this exciting event, an opportunity to get to know our
parish, the people, and how we can share our faith. It’s less than a month away
and we’re missing one part to make it a success – you! We hope you will be a part
of this wonderful parish weekend. Whatever time you can give, we can use your
help. All skill levels needed: Set-Up/Clean-Up Crew, Computer Techies, Crafts
and Activities, Food Set-Up/Clean-Up, and Pick-Up Desserts. Please fill out a
form and sign up at the back of the church. You can also volunteer by contacting
Catherine Downing at cfdesq@hotmail.com or 617.782.5812.
BUILDING A HOME IN MAMRE, CAMEROON
The parish is very blessed to have the presence of Fr. Maurice Ashley with us as he completes his
Theology studies. Most of us have benefited from his beautiful preaching, singing and celebration of the
Liturgy. Fr. Maurice and his family are trying to build a home for their "mum" in Mamfe. Their resources
are very limited and we are trying to help them reach this goal. If you would like to contribute to
building a home for Maurice's Mum in Mamfe, you can make a check to the parish with a notation for Fr.
Maurice. He promises he will sing for all of us his great gratitude.
MUSIC MINISTRY AT ST. IGNATIUS
As we look forward to September and the return of our music ensembles, we invite any interested singers
and instrumentalists to contact us about participation. Music Ministry information is posted on the
Church Bulletin Boards, as well as on the Parish Website under the “Ministry” tab. Those interested can
also contact Music Director, Michael Burgo at 627-552-6108 or burgo @bc.edu.

On Sunday, September 21st, St. Ignatius Parish is honored to host for Boston College a special, by
invitation only, Mass for the Philippine Community for President Aquino's visit to the University. This
event will have a significant impact on parking for us, both in the morning, and in particular, the hour
leading up to the Mass at 3:00 p.m. We hope this information helps you plan accordingly to allow ample
time for parking in the areas made available for us nearby when heading to Mass. Also please note that
the Jimmy Fund Walk is happening that day as well. More information is forthcoming as we draw closer
to the date.

after the death of a loved one .

begin and end with meditation, and focus on healing as we share our stories, learn to embrace our grief,
cope with holidays, care for ourselves and create meaningful changed lives in the context of our Christian
faith.
A second series is planned for the Spring.
Pre-registration is required.
For more information, contact Maureen Saldarini at mcsaldarini113@gmail.com

the Sunday scriptures. Feed your body, mind and soul!!
The next session, “Lord, When Did We…”, discussing the readings for Our Lord Jesus Christ,
King Of The Universe, will take place on Thursday, September 18, 2014 in the Dining Room at

FAMILY MINISTRY: PARENTS OF LITTLES GROUP
There will be an informational meeting for families interested in forming small playgroup/faith sharing
groups following the 10AM and 5:30PM masses on Sunday, September 21 in the
Friary Room. The vision for the groups is to form sharing groups of 3-4 families,
depending on children’s ages, for a home-based, monthly gathering. The focus would
be to provide social, emotional, and spiritual support to new parents; and provide young families with an
opportunity to reflect on faith, vocation to married/family life and early catechesis. If you would like
more information please contact Leah Perez at lmtperez@gmail.com.

La Página Hispana
Siendo una comunidad parroquial jesuita, animada por el espíritu de san Ignacio, les damos a
todos la bienvenida para compartir la alegría del evangelio y para conocer, amar y servir a Dios
Queridos Parroquianos,
Hoy es la fiesta de la Exaltación de la Santa Cruz. Me gustaría compartir con ustedes este poema que
expresa el misterio y la paradoja que celebramos. Lo encontré en rezandovoy.org.
«Las zorras tienen guaridas, y las aves del cielo nidos; pero el Hijo del hombre no tiene dónde reclinar la
cabeza» (Lc 9, 58)
Majestad
La majestad no está en los gestos de orgullo, en la mirada altiva o el ceño fruncido.
No está en la puerta infranqueable o en la adulación cortesana. Tampoco en la altura de los rascacielos o
la privacidad de los accesos exclusivos.
No está en las cenas de gala, la alta costura, la joyería fina o los gastos suntuosos.
La majestad poco tiene que ver con protocolos que encumbran al poderoso y ningunean al débil.
¿Dónde, entonces?
En un rey sin trono, palacio o ejércitos.
Sin cuenta corriente, sin otro techo que el cielo. Un rey sin más ley que el amor desmedido,
sin más cetro que sus manos desnudas, gastadas ya en tanta caricia, en tanta brega,
por tanto tirar de los derrumbados.
Sin otra atalaya que la cruz, y en ella,
el perdón por bandera, la paz por escudo,
y la justicia, inmortal, como apuesta eterna.
José Ma Rodríguez Olaizola, sj
Fraternalmente,
Padre Bob
