Once again we invite you to consider joining our Book Discussion Group that will be hosted by Frs. Bob and J.A. at the Jesuit residence (130 Beacon Street). We meet on Wednesday evenings from 7: 30 – 9:00
P.M. starting on March 4th and ending on April 22nd.
There are two weeks when we will not meet
(March 11 th
and April 1 st
). The book we have chosen is a marvelous new one by Professor Amy-Jill Levine called Short Stories by Jesus: The Enigmatic Parables of a Controversial Rabbi (N. Y.: Harper Collins,
2014).
The author is University Professor of New Testament and Jewish Studies at Vanderbilt Divinity
School. She describes herself as “a Yankee, Jewish feminist who teaches in a predominantly Christian divinity school in the buckle of the Bible belt.” Reviewers have called the book “brilliant,” one to
“change how you think about Jesus and the stories he told,” and one that “belongs next to your bible.” It should be a great read and discussion. The book is be available in selected bookstores and on
Amazon.com.
Space, as always, is limited. Please indicate your desire to join us by contacting Betty in the office at Ignatius@bc.edu or through 617-552-6102 as soon as possible. Any questions? Feel free to contact either Fr. Bob or Fr. J.A.

More than 70 percent of farmers in Tanzania work on plots of land smaller than three acres.
In the United States, the average farm size is 441 acres. Soybeans are used to make poultry feed, which is in high demand in Tanzania, where the poultry industry is growing rapidly. A domestic soybean industry is attractive to poultry feed manufacturers, who, by buying from organized groups, are able to produce a higher quality product for less money than they would be able to with imported soybeans or feed made from fish. CRS works with 11,250 soybean farmers in Tanzania through Soy ni Pesa, increasing their harvest and connecting them with marketing groups.

Queridos Parroquianos,
Me cuesta creer que la Cuaresma empezó esta semana. Nos da la oportunidad de enfocarnos en esta temporada en la cual nos preparamos para la celebración del misterio pascual por la oración, el ayuno, la limosna y otras buenas obras. Durante este tiempo tenemos la oportunidad de acercarnos mas
íntimamente a Nuestro Salvador, Jesucristo. Podemos caminar con él y acompañarlo en su jornada a su
Pasión y su Resurrección. Durante este temporada habrá muchas oportunidades de compartir su fe con otros miembros de la comunidad.
Hace dos domingos empezamos el programa de conversaciones en inglés para aquellos que quieren aprender o mejorar este idioma. Hay varios grupos y también oportunidades de reunirse individualmente.
Varias personas anglo-parlantes tienen ganas de practicar Español. Este programa toma lugar cada domingo a la una y media. Si quieren aprender más, comuníquense con Padre Bob.
Para los adultos y jóvenes adultos (edad de 16 años que no han recibido el sacramento de la confirmación, vamos a ofrecer clases empezando el 22 de febrero a la una y media. Estas clases seguirán hasta el fin de abril.
Ruego que este tiempo cuaresmal nos dé la oportunidad de crecer en nuestra fe y volver a reconocer nuestra llamada para amar y servir a Dios y nuestros prójimos.
En el amor de Cristo,
Padre Bob
