THE PARISH SUPPORT PROGRAM
Each year at this time, we ask you to consider how you are able to financially support the ministries of St.
Ignatius throughout the coming year through The AMDG Parish Support Program. This program
enhances our ability to project our income throughout the year and not have to worry about those
Sundays and summers when many people are away from the parish due to the vagaries of weather,
travel, vacations, etc. As our parish continues to grow, so also do our expenses.
If you are a new parishioner or have never signed on to the program, we would be more than grateful if
you would join the more than 500 families currently participating in the program and show your support
for this remarkable parish. We are so grateful for the stewardship of these parishioners who contribute
more than 70% of our operating income.
HAPPY NEW YEAR

Del Escritorio del Padre Bob
Queridos Parroquianos,
Espero que hayan disfrutado de la celebraciones navideñas. Quería compartir con
ustedes las palabras de un poema que me encanta como una expresión de la alegría de
este hermoso tiempo del año litúrgico.
Hoy grande gozo en el cielo
todos tienen
porque en un barrio del suelo
nace Dios.
¡Que gran gozo y alegría
tengo yo!
Mas no nace solamente
en Belén,
nace donde hay un caiente
corazón.
¡Que gran gozo y alegría
tengo yo!
Nace en mí, nace en cualquiera
si hay amor
nace donde hay verdadera
comprensión
¡Que gran gozo y alegría
tengo yo!
Su presencia en nuestra parroquia me da gran gozo y alegría. Les deseo que nuestro
Dios los bendiga con muchas bendiciones durante esta temporada Navideña.
En el amor de Jesucristo y su Santa Madre, María
Padre Bob
DO YOU SPEAK ENGLISH? ¿HABLA ESPAÑOL?
The parish is presently organizing a program for Conversation Partners for anyone who would like
help members of our Latino community improve their English. If you have some free time once a week to
meet with a native Spanish speaker, please let Fr. Bob know. Or if you would to learn Spanish in the
process, that would be possible too.
