Jesuit Refugee Service Presentation
November 4, 2012 – Lower Church - Media Room-11:10am-noon
Please join Laura Gaspo, Outreach Coordinator at Jesuit Refugee Service/USA, in a presentation on the
Jesuit Refugee Service. This will include discussion of Ignatian Spirituality and ways in which to follow
Saint Ignatius of Loyola’s call to serve others. Learn how JRS/USA seeks to accompany, serve, and
defend the most vulnerable in our society, refugees and other forcibly displaced persons. Discover ways
to connect your own Ignatian spirituality with direct service and advocacy for refugees in your
community and around the world. A graduate of Fordham University and current Jesuit Volunteer at
JRS/USA, Laura can attest to St. Ignatius’ call to serve and how to practice this in our daily lives.

BOOK DISCUSSION
On November 18th, there will be a discussion of Guadalupe: Mother of the New Creation by Virgil
Elizondo. For centuries, Guadalupe has served as one of the sustaining symbols of Mexican, Latin
American, and U.S. Hispanic identity and spirituality. But more than that, in this lyrical and inspiring
work Elizondo shows that Our Lady of Guadalupe has an even wider significance and relevance to the
church universal at the dawn of a new millennium. Please join us for a discussion of this book on
November 18 at 11:15 in the living room of the Parish Center.

among the elderly. Its mission is accomplished
through a unique blend of prevention, placement,

their own. All housing operated by Hearth provides a creative array of supportive
services that assist residents to age with dignity, regardless of their special
medical, mental health, or social needs.
We’ll begin our outreach to residents of the Hearth community at its newest home,

residents that evening. The menu is to be decided upon, so any suggestions are
welcomed!

prayers and each member will pray individually.

but would like your prayer to be posted, please indicate this to Maria in your phone or e-mail message.
