AUTUMN EVENINGS AT THE MANSE
Book Discussion Group
It’s time once again to enjoy an evening of good conversation with your fellow parishioners.
As usual, our group will meet Wednesday evenings from 7:30 to 9:00 PM at the Jesuit residence, 130 Beacon Street.
We start on Wednesday, October 17th and finish on November 14th. Also as usual, our hosts will be Frs. Bob and
J.A.
Our book this time around is Things Hidden: Scripture as Spirituality by Richard Rohr (Cincinnati OH: St Anthony
Messenger Press, 2008).
Father Rohr writes in the introduction: “I offer these reflections to again unite what should never have been
separated: sacred Scripture and Christian spirituality.” While spirituality has always been Rohr’s specialty, none
other than Walter Bruggemann, one of the world’s great interpreters of the Old Testament, had this to say: “Things
Hidden is an invitation of Gospel proportions to move on into the life God intends, a life of joy and obedience.”
The reading should provide an opportunity for a rich discussion of both sacred scripture and contemporary
spirituality in people’s real lives.
As always, space is limited and advance registration is absolutely necessary. Please let Betty McLaughlin know if
you will be attending (Ignatius@bc.edu) or 617-552-6102. The book should be available through Amazon.com or local
religious bookstores.
PROTECTING GOD’S CHILDREN PROGRAM
The Archdiocese of Boston requires all volunteers (in whatever capacity) to complete a training program in child abuse
protection. If you are thinking of becoming a volunteer in any of our ministries (lector, coordinator of liturgy, choir member,
etc.), or if you are already a new volunteer in any ministry, you must be able to verify your attendance at a Protecting God’s
Children (PGC) program. If you have completed this program in another location, you should have a certificate of
attendance given you at that time. We need a copy of that certificate. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact
the appropriate supervisor of your ministry.
We have scheduled the next session on October 28th from 2:00 – 4:30 pm.
If you plan to attend this session, please contact Mary Blackburn (617-552-6039) or Betty McLaughlin (617-552-6102 /
ignatius@bc.edu) as soon as possible or at least before October 21, 2012. Space is always limited.
Thank you for your cooperation in maintaining a safe and secure atmosphere for all the children at St. Ignatius parish.
Fr. J.A. Loftus, S.J.
Chair, Child Abuse Prevention Team

La Página Hispana
Del Escritorio del Padre Bob
Queridos Parroquianos,
Este domingo pasado tuvimos una reunión de nuestro Consejo Hispano para seguir conversando sobre los retos
que enfrentan nuestra pequeña comunidad y como responder mejor a sus necesidades. Las dos cosas de las cuales
hablábamos eran dos puntos. El primer fue la necesidad de invitar a más miembros de la comunidad a participar
en uno de los cuatro grupos que sirven a la comunidad cada domingo. Queremos que cada persona pertenezca a
uno de estos grupos para que se puedan involucrar en la vida comunitaria, especialmente, en la Santa Misa. Espero
informarles más sobre estos grupos en el próximo boletín.
El otro punto de que hablábamos era el programa “Ven a La Mesa”. Este programa que va a empezar el 21 de
octubre ofrecerá a nuestra comunidad la oportunidad de reflexionar sobre la fe que compartimos, especialmente
nuestra experiencia de la presencia de Jesucristo en la Santa Misa. Nos dará la oportunidad de aprender, conversar
y compartir. Es importante que sepamos el número de asistentes y por eso les pedimos que se inscriban lo antes
posible.
LOS SACRAMENTOS EN ESPAÑOL
Bautismo:
Los adultos que necesitan recibir los sacramentos de la iniciación Cristiana (el bautismo, la confirmación y la
Eucaristía) deberían hablar con el Padre Bob o con los otros sacederdotes para que se enteraran del proceso
necesario.
Para los niños pequeños y bebés, puede hablar con Berta Alvarado al final de la Eucaristía dominical
(bertaa25@gmail.com) El 14 de octubre habrá una charla pre-bautismal. Para mayor información, puede hablar con
Berta Alvarado. (bertaa25@gmail.com)
Primera Comunión
Para la preparación de los niños, puede hablar con Aura Cabrera o Dan Robb al final de la Eucaristía dominical.
(Daniel.robb@bc.edu)
Confirmación
Para la preparación de los jóvenes, puede hablar con Aura Cabrera o Dan Robb al final de la misa dominical.
(Daniel.robb@bc.edu)
Matrimonio
Para el sacramento del matrimonio, debes estar registrado como feligrés de nuestra parroquia seis meses antes de la
celebración. Puede hablar con el padre Bob al final de la misa dominical. (frvereec@bc.edu)
Reconciliación
Los domingos, antes o después de la misa, puede hablar con el sacerdote celebrante.
