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.
There are two PGC programs coming up in September. The first is to be held on Sunday, September 16, 2012,
from 2-4:30 PM in the Choir/Media room in the lower church.
The second will be held on Sunday, September 30, 2012 at the same time and in the same place.
If you plan to attend either session, please contact Mary Blackburn (617-552-6039) or Betty McLaughlin (617552-6102 / ignatius@bc.edu) as soon as possible or at least before September 13, 2012. Space is always limited.
Thank you for your cooperation in maintaining a safe and secure atmosphere for all the children at St. Ignatius

LITTLE ROCK SCRIPTURE STUDY
This semester, we will be studying “Hebrews” which reviews the history of Israel to demonstrate how Jesus fulfills
and even surpasses all of the hopes expressed in the Old Testament. It presents Jesus as the unique high priest
who is simultaneously the one who offers sacrifice to God and is himself the sacrifice. Tuesday September 18th
The study begins Tuesday, September 18th at 7:15 pm in the Lannon Chapel. The cost is $20.00, which includes a
commentary, study guide and DVD presentation of the study. New members are always welcome. To register,

ST. IGNATIUS SUMMER READ
Have you finished our Summer read? If not, you may want to , as Julia Alvarez comes to St. Ignatius through
Skype this Fall discussing her children's book Return to Sender and, in a second program, Wedding in Haiti for
our adult community. Look for dates of each program in upcoming bulletins.
In the meantime, think about the two questions we posed to you earlier in the Summer. In Return to Sender, how
do Tyler and Mari, initially separated by Tyler 's fear of illegal immigrants on his farm, become friends ? For
Wedding in Haiti , what happened to both Julia Alvarez and Piti when she stepped outside the boundaries of her
community to befriend him?
ST. IGNATIUS MUSIC MINISTRY
If you are new to the parish and are interested in our music ministry groups, please check the postings on the
bulletin boards or check out our web page http://www.bc.edu/bc_org/prs/stign/music_ministry.html. Please
note that all new ministry volunteers will need to attend a meeting of PROTECTING GOD'S CHILDREN, the next
one being Sunday, Sept. 16 at 2pm.

Queridos Parroquianos,
Espero que hayan disfutado de este verano tan maravilloso. Me cuesta creer que se está acabando
aunque nos quedan algunos días de Septiembre. Sin embargo, el final de la estación de verano es un
señal que la vida parroquial va a aumentar con el regreso de muchos parroquianos que se han ido para
los días de vacaciones. Esto quiere decir que habrá mas programas y oportunidades que les invitarán a
involucrarse en su fe. Hay dos eventos que les quiero mencionar. El sábado, 22 de Septiembre, habrá una
Noche Jamaiquina. Esta noche les ofrecerá música, comida jamaiquina y la oportunidad de conocer a
otro parroquianos. El propósito de este evento consiste en el recaudar fundos para el parque infantil que
vamos a construir para la parroquia de St Anne’s en Kingston Jamaica. Supongo que saben que tenemos
una relación especial con esta parroquia y cada año hay un grupo de nuestros parroquianos que van a
Jamaica para conocer a sus homólogos y trabajar con ellos lado a lado. La entrada cuesta $15 dólares.
El día siquiente, el 23 de septiembre habrá una tienda afuera en el césped que simboliza nuestra vida
comunitaria. Aquí encontrarán una invitación a aprender lo que pasa en la parroquia, compartir una
comida con otros miembros de la comunidad y podrán ofrecerse como voluntarios para los ministerios
que la parroquia necesita. Habrá también juegos para los niños. Espero que se aprovechen de esta
celebración para conocer mejor todo lo que la parroquia les ofrece.
Formación Cristiana Estamos en el proceso de la planificación de nuestras programas en la formación
spiritual de los niños y los jovenes que pertenecen a la parroquia. A partir del 26 de Agosto
comenzaremos a recabar los nombres y las edades de niños y jovenes que asisten a la Misa para ver
cuales son los mejores programas que podemos ofrecerles. Las clases de catequésis tendrán lugar los
domingos antes de la Misa. No sólo tienen que ver con aquellos que necesitan recibir los sacramentos
sino con todos los jovenes.
Vida Comunitaria Estamos en proceso también de recabar los nombres, números de teléfono, y las
direcciones de correo electrónico de nuestros parroquianos. Para tal propósito pueden comunicarse con
Pablo Uribe (pablo_uribe@hotmail.com). Es muy importante que tengamos esta información para que
nos podamos comunicar mejor con toda la comunidad
Coro Hispano El coro hispano siempre busca a nuevos cantantes y musicos que quieren compartir sus
dones musicales con la comunidad. Si desea participar en el Coro, por favor comuníquese con Michael
