Dear Parishioners,
I always knew that someday I would have to write this letter to let you know that my time as your pastor is
coming to an end after 26 years. Within the next year I will be leaving St. Ignatius and you will have a new Jesuit
pastor. As you can imagine, this is not something I would wish or hope for. I love the parish and have been
blessed so profoundly with so many graces over these years. The advantage of the longevity is that I have had the
privilege of becoming part of your families. I have baptized your children, witnessed their marriages and
performed funerals for your loved ones. I can’t even begin to count the number of liturgies I have presided over
in these 26 years. I have asked that I be able to remain with you through Easter of 2016 so I will have the
opportunity to celebrate Holy Week with you once more. Although my departure is not imminent, I wanted to
make sure you heard about this from me. St. Ignatius is a wonderfully vibrant and dynamic parish. I am sure that
it will continue to be a place of graced encounter with God and an even more dynamic community of faith in the
years to come. I am so grateful for all of you and look forward to the time that remains for me here as your pastor.
Sincerely,
Fr. Bob
Queridos Parroquianos,
Hay algo muy importante que quisiera compartir con ustedes. Me da mucha pena decirles que después de 26
años como Párroco de San Ignacio, mi tiempo se está terminando. Dentro del próximo año saldré de San Ignacio y
habrá un nuevo párroco jesuita. Como se pueden imaginar, esto no es algo que hubiera deseado o esperado. Amo
a la parroquia y a ustedes como comunidad latina por que tienen un lugar especial en mi corazón. Recuerdo que
hace sólo diez años un grupo de parroquianos de San Gabriel vino a pedirme si los jesuitas de Boston College les
podrían ofrecer servicios en Español. Hoy se han convertido en una parte muy esencial de la vida parroquial. Yo
1
quería celebrar por última vez la Semana Santa con ustedes y le pedí a mis superiores que me permitieran
permanecer hasta la próxima Pascua.
Aunque no voy a salir de inmediato, yo quiero asegurarme de que sepan esta noticia por mi mismo. Me alegra
que me voy a quedar casi un año para seguir celebrando la Santa Misa con ustedes y tocar el violín 
Sinceramente,
Padre Bob
