A Parish Farewell is planned for Fr. Ken Loftus, S.J., on Sunday, September 14th at the Noon Mass. A reception

COMPANIONS
An educational support group for anyone in need of healing and hope after the death of a loved one
Eight weekly sessions on Tuesday evenings from 9/23-11/11 in the Parish Office 7:00-8:30 p.m. will 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
BOOK DISCUSSION
We have a suggestion to add to your summer reading list: The Tenth of December by George Saunders. This
book will be discussed in the parish offices on September 21st at 11:15 am. Reviewers note that Saunders’ stories
take on life's big questions and explore the fault lines of our own morality, delving into the questions of what
makes us good and what makes us human. The stories focus on what is redeemable in human beings and fulfill
Chekhov’s dictum to “prepare us for tenderness.” Happy reading, Happy summer.
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.

summer. Forms are available online from our website, by emailing Susan Stuart at

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
También conocidas como Hermanas Missioneras Maristas, nosotras las SMSM, provenimos de diversos países
y culturas. Estamos dispuestas dejar a nuestro país de origen para servir a otros pueblos, concientes que el
Espíritu de Dios nos procede,nos acompaña y está con nosotras en nuestra labor de compartir la Buena Nueva.
Somos enviadas a los que no conocen a CRISTO, a los que buscan conocerlo, y a Iglesias locales que necestan
servicio misionero. En medio de otros pueblos y culturas, tanto como en nuestros propios países, con respeto y a
través de diálogo, tratamos de crear un espíritu de communion entre personas de diferentes lenguas, culturas y
razas; dando testimonio del Amor Universal de Dios para con todos.
Hoy, las SMSM participan en actividades missioneras en 24 países, en areas del Sur Pacífico, Africa, Asia,
Europa, el Caribe y en Norte y Sud America. Tratamos de seguir el ejemplo de María en Nazaret; una vida
simple, de fé profunda y de fidelidad a su Hijo; como también su presencia y apoyo entre los apóstoles y
primeros discípulos en la Iglesia nasciente. Deseamos hacernos presente a los demás en el mundo de hoy como
María lo hizo en su tiempo; animándoles a utilizar con confianza todos los dones y talentos que Dios les ha
regalado en la construcción de un mundo mejor
El fin de semana, 23-24 de AGOSTO, las Hnas. PALEPA IOANE y CATIA CONTERNO, SMSM estarán
visitando su parroquia, participando en el Plan de Colaboración Misionera de su Diócesis para el año 2014. Este
esfuerzo nacional de las Oficinas de Propagación de la Fé, por todo los EEUU, presenta una oportunidad
especial para los grupos misioneros de compartir y dar a conocer las multiples acciones misioneras de la Iglesia
Católica, en sus esfuerzos para la promoción de la Fé y la Buena Nueva de Jesucristo. Esperamos que nuestro
compartir les haga sentirse colaboradores en este esfuerzo a través de sus oraciones y generosa contribución
econ◌ómica
a nuestras obras misioneras.
