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 23
13 th . We will end by 9:00 PM each evening. rd and ending on November
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

6102) as soon as possible.

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.

The Archdiocese of Boston requires all volunteers (in whatever capacity) to complete a training program in child abuse protection. If you are thinking of becoming a volunteer in any of our ministries (lector, coordinator of liturgy, choir member, etc.), or if you are already a new volunteer in any ministry, you must be able to verify your attendance at a Protecting God’s Children (PGC) program. If you have completed this program in another location, you should have a certificate of attendance given you at that time. We need a copy of that certificate. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the appropriate supervisor of your ministry.
The next program will be held on Sunday, October 20, 2013 from 2:30 – 5:00 PM in the Choir/Media room in the Lower Church.

Querido Parroquianos,
Gracias por la conversación que teníamos después de la Misa el domingo pasado. Como les he dicho, queremos ofrecerles programas y experiencias que pueden ayudarles a profundizar su fe. Esperamos empezar un grupo de oración los martes en la noche. También ofreceremos tres sesiones sobre la experiencia de la Oración tres domingos en noviembre después de la Misa y el cafecito. En diciembre habrá un retiro para la comunidad. Estamos en proceso de organizar estos eventos.
Les pido su asistencia para la charla sobre los abusos de los derechos humanos en Honduras. Espero que haya una buena representación de nuestra comunidad latina. Pueden leer las detalles en los párrafos siguientes.
El Padre Melo, sacerdote jesuita y defensor de derechos humanos, , hará una presentación en San Ignacio el 20 de octubre. Ismael Moreno Coto, sacerdote jesuita, comúnmente conocido como el Padre Melo, es el director de Radio Progreso, una emisora radial de origen cristiano que es líder nacional en reportaje investigativo, en Honduras. Radio Progreso fue cerrada por el gobierno hondureño a cargo, en el 2009, y ha sido ocupada por personal militar desde ese momento. El P. Melo también es el director del Equipo de
Reflexión, Investigación y Comunicación (ERIC-SJ), que contribuye mediante la investigación, la educación, los reportes de tendencias sociales y de opinión pública, en Honduras.
El Padre Melo hablará de los abusos en materia de derechos humanos que han afectado a la sociedad hondureña, y de modo especial en el mundo periodístico, así como en las comunidades campesinas e indígenas. El ofrecerá un análisis profundo de las razones sistemáticas por las que ha continuado la violencia, la impunidad y las injusticias, a la luz de los diferentes impactos de la guerra contra las drogas, así como resaltará los pasos para reconstruir las redes sociales en Honduras.
El P. Melo celebrará la Eucaristía en español a las doce del día en la capilla de la Iglesia, y posteriormente, a la 1:30 pm, hará una presentación bilingüe, acerca de los abusos de los derechos humanos en Honduras, en el mismo lugar. Están todos invitados a escuchar al P. Melo y a aprender, un poco más, acerca del trabajo de la Compañía de Jesús en Honduras. La visita del P. Melo es patrocinada por Witness for Peace
New England .
La próxima charla bautismal tomará lugar el 26 de octubre después de la Misa.
¡Que tengan una buena semana llena de muchos bendiciones!

Ismael Moreno Coto, a Jesuit priest popularly known as Padre Melo, is the director of Radio Progreso, a
Christian-based radio station that is a national leader in investigative reporting. Radio Progreso was shut down by the new government at the time of the coup in 2009 and has suffered military occupations since.
He is also director of the Center for Reflection, Research, and Communication (ERIC-SJ, the Spanish acronym), a think tank that conducts research and education and reports on societal trends and public opinion in Honduras.
Padre Melo will speak of human rights abuses occurring throughout Honduran society, and especially within his own journalistic world, as well as within campesino and indigenous communities. He will offer an in-depth analysis into the systemic reasons for the continuing violence, impunity, and injustices, illuminate the various impacts of The Drug War, and will highlight steps to rebuild networks of community in Honduras.
Fr. Melo will celebrate the Spanish Mass at Noon in the lower church. He will give a presentation on
Human Rights abuses in Honduras in Spanish and English at 1:30 PM in the Lannon Chapel. All are invited to hear Fr. Melo and learn more about the work of the Society of Jesus in Honduras. Fr. Melo’s visit is sponsored by Witness for Peace New England.
