Misión de la Parroquia
San Ignacio es una parroquia católica de la Arquidiócesis de Boston, atendida por sacerdotes Jesuitas y animada por una espiritualidad también Jesuita que busca encontrar a Dios en todas las cosas. Nuestros feligreses proceden de zonas geográficas tanto cercanas como lejanas e incluyen a los adultos, a los jóvenes, los niños y a las personas de la tercera edad. Contamos con una valiosa relación con el
Boston College, en parte definida por la ubicación compartida y por los estudiantes, el personal y los alumnos que optan por formar parte de nuestra comunidad.
Reconociendo nuestros derechos y responsabilidades bautismales, inspirados por la rica tradición de la Iglesia y animados por el Concilio Vaticano II, nos esforzamos con la ayuda del Espíritu Santo para:
▪ Cimentar nuestras vidas en los sacramentos y en el evangelio de Jesucristo;
▪ Centrar nuestra vida parroquial en la alegría del culto a Dios en la Eucaristía;
▪ Invitar a todas las personas de todos los sectores sociales para hacer comunidad con nosotros;
▪ Confortar a los alienados y marginados en su camino de fe;
▪ Proporcionar oportunidades para el enriquecimiento de la oración y la vida espiritual de los miembros de nuestra comunidad;
▪ Fomentar la perenne búsqueda de cada feligrés por experimentar y comprender a
Cristo y Su Iglesia; y
▪ Transformarnos en discípulos activos en la obra de Dios en este mundo a través de nuestro compromiso con el servicio de unos a dentro y fuera de la parroquia..
Todos nuestros esfuerzos dependen y descansan en el compromiso de los laicos y sacerdotes de colaborar continuamente para la mayor gloria de Dios.
