working to “build hope by building homes” in partnership with low-income families in need of decent
housing. To sign up, e-mail Anton Finelli at afinelli@crmcx.com or Sister Diane at vallerio@bc.edu.

TRANSITIONS (SUPPORT FOR THE
UNEMPLOYED)
GOOD CAUSES
From time to time we receive a request from a
parishioner or a BC student to advertise a “good
cause” for which one is looking for financial or
other kinds of support. This can take the form of
a bake sale whose proceeds go to an immersion
trip or some form of collection. Since we do not
want to overwhelm our parishioners with
“asks”, we have decided to add this “Good
Causes” section that will give you the
opportunity to decide whether you would like
to support this good cause.
With the uptick in the economy and increasing
success with finding employment, the
Transitions Group will be closing down after
four years. All in Transitions are sincerely
grateful for all who helped in any way since
February 2009. To all in transition, a wish for
continued prosperity and a bright future.
BOOK DISCUSSION
On June 2nd, there will be a discussion of Tattoos
on the Heart by Fr. Gregory Boyle. This book,
available in Spanish as well as
English, contains essays about
universal kinship and redemption,
moving examples of the power of
unconditional
love
and
the
importance of fighting despair. All are
welcome to come to the upstairs living room of
the parish offices on June 2nd at 11:15 to share
their reactions to this book.
Parishioner and Cantor, Michelle Abadia, whose
artistry St. Ignatius has benefited from for many
years, is asking support for a national tour
which will give her the opportunity to share her
musical gifts with a wider audience. If you’d
like to learn more about Michelle’s hopes and
dreams, you can go to the followi ng

SIYA ST. IGNATIUS YOUNG ADULTS
Our group ministers to the spiritual needs of both married and single adults in their
twenties and thirties by providing a community in which young professionals, recent
college graduates and graduate students can share their faith and support one another in
their following of Christ.
Come to our Social after the 5:30 pm Mass on Sunday, May 12th. We meet at 6:30 pm
in the Friary Room (Lower Church) Bring a friend, catch up with friends, meet new people,

Queridos Parroquianos,
Durante el mes de Mayo nuestra comunidad quiere honrar a la Santa Virgen con algunas
devociones especiales. Después del cafe, habrá una oportunidad de rezar el Rosario y cantar
himnos en su honor. Espero que tomen esta oportunidad de mostrarle a María su amor y su
gratitud por su cariño y protección en su vida. También durante este mes habrá celebraciones
festivas, especialmente el día de las madres y la fiesta de Pentecostés, el 19 de Mayo.
Tuve el privilegio de predicar durante la liturgia de la confirmación que pasó el 27 de Abril.
Quisiera compartir con ustedes la homilía que dio.
Nadie tiene un amor más grande que el que da la vida por sus amigos.
Dar la vida por un amigo. Lo llamamos un acto de heroísmo. Y la persona que arriesga su vida
por una otra, la llamamos héroe.
Hemos sido testigos de muchas actos de heroísmo durante esta dos semanas muy penosas.
Hemos visto a mucha gente común que convertirse en héroes. Son las personas que no pensaron
en sí mismos sino que fueron en seguida a ayudar a las víctimas de las explosiones, sin pensar
en el riesgo que lenfrentaban. Y hemos sido testigos del heroísmo de estas mismas víctimas que
experimentaron tanto daño pero que han tomado la decisión de seguir adelante con coraje y
determinación. Hemos sido testigos de un sólo acto de crueldad y cobardía que ha engendrado
innumerables actos de heroísmo. Hemos visto la mezquindad de lo inhumano en contraste con
el dinamismo del espíritu humano. Hemos sido testigos del poder que la persona humana tiene
adentro que se puede usar para hacer una diferencia en este mundo. Nadie tiene un amor más
grande que el que da la vida por sus amigos y puedo añadir. por un extraño. Durante estas
semanas pasadas hemos sido testigos no sólo de las acciones heroicas de tantos individuos sino
aquellas de toda una comunidad.
Ustedes que van a ser confirmados esta noche, que van a recibir los dones del espíritu santo han
sido testigos de lo mejor que la persona humana puede ser y de lo peor. Han visto cómo las
elecciones que una persona hace pueden hacer una diferencia por lo bueno o por lo malo. Esta
noche por su presencia ustedes hacen una elección. Por su confirmación dicen que quieren vivir
una vida sin egoismo, aun una vida heroica. En este momento de su confirmación dicen que
quieren vivir sus vidas de una manera que toma a Jesucristo cómo su modelo. Quieren vivir
cómo Cristo vivió y sigue viviendo por sus discípulos. Dicen que quieren que sus elecciones
reflejen los prioridades de la vida de Jesús, el que no solo dice Nadie tiene un amor más grande
que el que da la vida por sus amigos sino el que nos dio el mismísimo ejemplo en su vida. A
decir verdad no es fácil vivir de la manera que Jesus vivió. Hay un gran sacrificio que uno hace
para vivir con tanta generosidad y tanta compasión. Sabemos que muchas veces es más fácil
pensar en mi mismo. Mis propias necesidades y mis propios deseos tienen prioridad. Pero en
este momento de su confirmación, ustedes dicen que quieren la ayuda y el apoyo que necesitan
para que puedan vivir cómo Jesucristo, nuestro Señor y Salvador. Y aun mas importante es el
hecho que Jesús quiere ser su amigo. Como dice Jesús No los llamo siervos, pero amigos.
Su confirmación es una invitación a vivir aún más plenamente la misión de Jesucristo. y es el
mismo Espíritu Santo que recibirán en su confirmación que los ha guiado a este momento. La
verdad también es que el Espíritu Santo ha usado las personas más importantes en sus vidas a
llevarlos aquí. Sus familias, sus amigos, las personas quienes les han mostrado lo que quiere
decir una vida de fe, Esos son los héroes que han hecho sacrificios para que ustedes puedan
vivir una vida llena de fe, esperanza y amor. Personalmente quiero recalcar el heroísmo de sus
padres que les dan buen ejemplo de lo que quiere decir ser católicos fieles, conectados a la
Iglesia. Mi rezo para ustedes es que el Espíritu Santo los llenen con sus dones, especialmente
aquel coraje que necesitan para ser discípulos de Jesucristo, animados con amor y un deseo de
servir.
En el amor de Jesús
Padre Bob
