wonderful opportunity to meet the pastor, staff and fellow parishioners of St. Ignatius. A light luncheon

CHURCH STATISTICS
Have you ever read an article in a newspaper or heard a broadcast on radio or TV on the
patterns of church attendance and wondered – how do they know that church attendance is up
or down from a prior reporting period? Or, for that matter, how do they arrive at the reported
figures at all?
The answer is really quite simple. Once a year, Catholic parishes nationwide actually count the number of
people who attend church on given Sundays. In the Archdiocese of Boston, those Sundays historically fall
within the Month of October. So, if you see someone at your liturgy over the next three weeks, with clip
board in hand, making notations, that person is doing this October’s ‘head count’. A head count
encompasses everyone in attendance, including infants and children.
As the late syndicated radio commentator Paul Harvey would say, “Now, you know the rest of the
story.”
OUTREACH MINISTRIES
MOTHER CAROLINE ACADEMY NEEDS KNITTING NEEDLES!! We
received an email from a co-principal at Mother Caroline, asking if any of
our parishioners might have any knitting or crochet materials that they
might be willing to donate to the school. Knitting needles are at the top
of the list, as they are teaching the students to knit and many of them do
not have their own needles. If you can help out with this need, just bring the
materials to the Rectory. Thanks!

We will be studying “Good News in New Places” this semester. This is a new study we will be doing for
the first time. Explore the challenges faced by the early church in bringing the Gospel to the Gentiles

to the ends of the earth. The study began Wednesday, October 6th at 7:15 pm in the Lannon Chapel. The
cost is $20.00, which includes a commentary, study guide and DVD presentation of the study. New
members are always welcome.
To register, you may call the rectory, 617-552-6102 or fill out the
