Dear Parishioners,
I hope that you have enjoyed this beautiful summer. It’s hard to believe that it’s coming to an
end even though there we still have some more September summer days. The end of the season,
however, signals the increase of parish life with the return of many parishioners from summer
vacations. In the parish this means that there will more opportunities for active involvement in
the many programs and events that the parish offers.
There are two events that I would like to mention. On Saturday, the 22nd of September, there
will be a “Jamaican Night”. There will be a live auction, Jamaican food and music and the
opportunity to get to know other parishioners. Fr Rohan Tulloch, SJ, Pastor of St Anne’s Parish,
will be with us for the weekend. This fundraiser for the St Anne’s Park project should be a
wonderful evening for our parish community and will significantly benefit our sister parish in
West Kingston.
That same weekend of September 22nd/23rd will be our annual “getting to know your parish and
fellow parishioners” Tent Event. This year the theme of the weekend is “Inspired to Act”. It is
an invitation to become more involved in the life of the parish in the ways that work best for
individuals and families. There is always a visit from St. Ignatius himself on the weekend, so
please stop by the tent to greet him 
As I begin my 24th year as Pastor, I am grateful for the countless ways in which my life and
ministry have been blessed by you! I look forward to sharing our parish life with you in the
days and months to come.
Sincerely,
Fr Bob

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?
We hope everyone will join us in supporting St. Anne's in the upcoming Jamaican Art Auction, remembering what
Julia Alvarez has shown us as she's taken us on the journey of how much more we become by sharing in the larger
communities that surround us.

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
