FALL PARISH RETREAT AT EASTERN POINT IN GLOUCESTER
This semi-annual retreat is an opportunity to enter more deeply into the mystery of God’s love
for us. You will have an opportunity for spiritual conversation, silent prayer and gatherings of
prayer and worship with members of the parish community. The retreat will be held Friday,
October 25th to Sunday, October 27th . The cost for the weekend is $300 (all inclusive), with a
deposit of $100 at registration. If anyone is in need of financial assistance in order to attend, please let us
know. Please register through the Parish Office 617-552-6102, or ignatius@bc.edu.
FALL DISCUSSION GROUP
Our usual fall discussion group is now forming. We will meet, as usual, at the Jesuit residence, 130
Beacon Street, at 7:30 PM for four Wednesday evenings starting October 23rd and ending on November
13th. We will end by 9:00 PM each evening.
Frs. Bob and J.A. will host the meetings. This year we are proposing a full year’s plan focusing on the
person of Jesus. We will start in October reading Anne Rice’s fictional account called Christ the Lord: The
Road to Cana (N.Y. : Alfred Knopf, 2008). This is a novel that provides a fascinating glimpse of what
family life might have been like for the young Jesus of Nazareth. It ends with Jesus rejecting the
disciples’ pleas that he become the military revolutionary Messiah for which many had hoped.
Both books should be available through local bookstores and at Amazon.com.
Space is limited. To reserve a space please contact Betty in the office (ignatius@bc.edu) or 617-5526102) as soon as possible.
CONVERSATIONS WITH POPE FRANCIS OCTOBER 29TH 7:15/ LANNON CHAPEL
No, Pope Francis is not paying a visit to St Ignatius, but we are hoping to facilitate
some conversations on subjects generated by his recent interviews. Dr. Rick
Gaillardetz, parishioner, member of the BC theology department and frequent
contributor to America Magazine and the National Catholic Reporter, will offer
some initial reflections and then we'll go from there. If you have not yet read the
interview and responses published in America, we will have copies available at
the rectory. Please let us know if you would like to have one or you can go online
to americamagazine.org to read the interview.
