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.

La Página Hispana 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 Queridos Parroquianos, El 31 de julio celebramos la fiesta de San Ignacio de Loyola, Santo Patronal de nuestra Parroquia. Les invito a meditar sobre estas dos oraciones de San Ignacio. Toma, Señor y recibe toda mi libertad, mi memoria, mi entendimiento y toda mi voluntad; todo mi ser y mi poseer. Tú me lo diste, a ti Señor, lo torno; todo es tuyo, dispón según tu voluntad. Dame, solamente tu amor y gracia, que esto me basta. Amén. Señor, enséñame a ser generoso,!a dar sin calcular,!a devolver bien por mal,!a servir sin esperar recompensa,!a acercarme al que menos me agrada,!a hacer el bien al que nada puede retribuirme!a amar siempre gratuitamente,!a trabajar sin preocuparme del reposo.!!Y, al no tener otra cosa que dar!a donarme en todo y cada vez más!a aquel que necesita de mí!esperando solo de tí!la recompensa.!O mejor: esperando que Tú mismo!seas mi recompensa. Amén Espero que reciban la bendición de nuestro Padre San Ignacio y especialmente la gracia de Amar y Servir nuestro Señor, Jesucristo. En el amor de Dios, Padre Bob FAITH FORMATION REGISTRATION FOR 2014-2015 Registration for Faith Formation for the 2014-15 academic year began on June 8 .
