On Saturday, February 23rd from 1-4:00 pm, Marsha Mirkin will be once again coming to the parish to help us explore the story of Moses and the Burning Bush. Members of Temple Beth Elohim in Wellesley are also being invited to join us. The session will take place across the street from St. Ignatius at the
STM classroom building on BC's Brighton Campus . Marsha's presentation entitled "Standing on Holy
Ground: The Search for Identity and Spiritual Connection" is intended to help us prepare for Passover
(Pesach) and Easter. This interfaith Torah study will invite us to join Moses as he asks the question that we all ask, “Who am I?” Like Moses, we can experience confusion, hope, doubt and longing on our journey; and along with Moses, we can unexpectedly find ourselves standing on Holy Ground. Please join us on February 23rd for this special Lenten program.

First Week of Lent Growing Food in Burkina Faso
In the small West African nation of Burkina Faso, 80% of the population is farmers. Frequent droughts make it difficult to produce enough food for the entire year. Often, farmers can only grow enough to feed their families for seven months. The rest of the year is called “the hungry season.” This week, we pray for families in Burkina Faso and give to CRS Rice Bowl to help small-scale farmers.
THANK YOU for your donations to our collection to underwrite lunches at St.
Francis House Day Shelter in Boston. Unfortunately, the weather meant that many were not able to contribute, so you are strongly encouraged to make a direct donation to St. Francis House. The more we help them, the more resources they will have to continue the many vital programs they offer to the needy in the Boston area. St.
Francis House, 39 Boylston St., Boston 02116, www.
stfrancishouse.org.

Queridos Parroquianos,
Ya que muchas personas no hayan podido asistir en la misa el domingo pasado a causa de la tormenta voy a repetir la mayoría de la carta que ya les escribí en el boletín.
La Cuaresma ha empezado. Nos da la oportunidad de enfocarnos en esta temporada en la cual nos preparamos para la celebración del misterio pascual por la oración, el ayuno, la limosna y otras buenas obras. Durante este tiempo tenemos la oportunidad de acercarnos mas íntimamente a Nuestro Salvador, Jesucristo. Podemos caminar con él y acompañarlo en su jornada a su Pasión y su Resurrección.
Les invito a participar en los eventos especiales que van a pasar durante este tiempo cuaresmal. Cada domingo después de la Misa, habrá una experiencia que puede alimentar su espíritu. Empezando el 17 de febrero vamos a ofrecer otro programa de
Ven a la Mesa que se enfoque en las creencias de nuestra fe Católica. Va a durar 3 domingos. El 10 de febrero habrá un Via Crucis en la iglesia de arriba. El 17 habrá una experiencia de la oración según el método Ignaciano. El 24 otro Via Crucis. Cada uno de estos programas o experiencias de la oración empezarán a la una y media y durarán sólo una hora. Espero que puedan dedicar una hora extra a su relación con Dios durante este tiempo cuaresmal.
Respecto a la dedicación y el compromiso que deberíamos tener como Cristianos, quisiera decirles algo de la conversaciones que he tenido con miembros de la comunidad. Para tener mas participación en la liturgia dominical, estamos en proceso del cambiar el sistema de ser voluntario. Empezando con este domingo, hay una lista fuera de la sacristía donde se pueden inscribir su nombre si quisieran coordinar, leer, o ser ministro de la comunión. (El primer paso, por supuesto, es recibir el entrenamiento necesario para hacer estos papeles litúrgicos) Necesitaremos también a alguien que le gustaría coordinar la hospitalidad después de la misa. Cada uno de nosotros tiene la responsabilidad para la celebración de la liturgia. No es sólo la responsabilidad del sacerdote o del diacono o otra persona. Todos ustedes son invitados a actuar como miembros activos de la asamblea de los fieles. Sin su ayuda no podremos ofrecer nuestra alabanza a Dios de una manera digna de su majestad
Ruego que este tiempo cuaresmal nos dé la oportunidad de crecer en nuestra fe y volver a reconocer nuestra llamada para amar y servir a Dios y nuestros prójimos.
En el amor de Cristo,
Padre Bob
