CONGRATULATIONS, AMY!
We are blessed at St. Ignatius to have a wonderful Faith Formation Program. We are grateful
for all those who volunteer their time and talents to sharing their faith with our children and
youth. This year, in addition to two catechists who are being recognized by the Archdiocese for their
service, our very gifted Director of Faith Formation, Amy Chapman is being honored as well. In the
words of Susan Kay, the Director of the Office of Religious Education: “Because we are celebrating this
Year of Faih, to mark the beginning of Vatican Council II and the anniversary of the Catechism of the
Catholic Church, we are initiating the Gaudium et Spes award to acknowledge a catechetical leader who,
with joy and hope, has given extraordinary service and shown great dedication to the Parish and the
Archdiocese. Amy Chapman will be the recipient of this award. Amy is an exemplary DRE and, in my
experience, a woman of great, genuine faith. We are thrilled to be able to give her the recognition she
deserves.”
CONGRATULATIONS ELIZABETH AND BEATRICE
Congratulations also to two of our catechists, Elizabeth Wall and Beatrice Frederique, who have been
chosen by the Archdiocese to receive awards in recognition of their service as catechists. Both women
have served our Faith Formation program throughout their BC careers after teaching in their catechetical
programs at home. Elizabeth, who teaches one of our third grade sections, has brought a wealth of
experience and creativity to our program. Beatrice, currently one of our lead teachers in the fourth grade,
is a wonderful veteran who has taught many of our first-time catechists the ropes. Congratulations to
both women!
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.
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.
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

Queridos Parroquianos,
Como ustedes saben, hay muchas personas que contribuyen a la vida comunitaria en
nuestra parroquia. Hemos tenido la buena fortuna de tener a Dan Robb como un
miembro de nuestro equipo pastoral que ha funcionado como coordinador del
programa de formación en fe para los niños de habla Español. Dan ha tomado la
decisión dedicarse a su profesión como terapeuta trabajando con jóvenes. Me ha pedido
que comparta con ustedes sus reflexiones.
Como algunos de ustedes saben, He trabajado aquí en la parroquia como coordinador
de la formación cristiana para esta comunidad y la comunidad angla. Quería que sepan
que he tomado la decisión dimitir de esta posición.
Empecé a asistir a la misa con esta comunidad en 2009, después de que había pasado
dos años como voluntario en Tacna, Perú. Extrañé el espíritu y la amistad de todos allí.
Tuve la gracia a volver a encontrar este espíritu en la gente de esta comunidad. Me ha
ofrecido una oportunidad a aplicar mi pasión por el trabajo con niños y jóvenes, y por
eso les agradezco.
El hecho es que he estado haciendo otro trabajo. Trabajo como terapista para jovenes en
Dorchester, y ha sido difícil a hacer los dos trabajos en una manera formal. Mi ultima
función formal como coordinador será la primera comunión de nuestros niños el día 19
durante la Santa Misa. Pienso en sequir a venir a la Misa aquí y celebrar con ustedes.
Ahora, planificamos que Amy Chapman va a coordinar todo lo que tiene que ver con el
catecismo en Español para el proximo año.
Gracias por la oportunidad a servirles en esta capacidad. Tengo ganas de servir esta
comuidad en otras maneras en el futuro.
Paz
Daniel Robb
