REFUGEE AWARENESS ON WORLD DAY FOR MIGRANTS AND REFUGEES
Pope Benedict has designated 1/15/2012 as World Day for Migrants and Refugees. The St. Ignatius ARRUPE
group (Assisting Refugee Resettlement Using Parish Energies) will offer a refugee awareness session in the Media
Room in the lower church at 11 am on 1/15/2012. Come see excerpts from “Lost Boys of Sudan,” an awardwinning film on the refugee experience. Find out what the Church does to help refugees: globally, around the US,
in Massachusetts and right here at St. Ignatius Parish. Hear other parishioners share their experiences. Find out
where to get more information. Come to the awareness session. If you can’t make it on that date, but want to know
more, email: engler @ bc.edu or devlin.jane @ gmail.com
ST. IGNATIUS WOMEN’S RETREAT
The women of the parish are warmly invited to come away for the weekend of February

woman who is important in your life!) to be with God and other women of the parish. We will once
again be retreating to Sacred Hearts Retreat Center in Wareham. The retreat will offer opportunities for
silent and group reflection, communal and private prayer, both water and woods to enjoy, and massage. The
retreat begins Friday with dinner at 5pm and ends Sunday after lunch at 1pm. The cost for the weekend is $175
and includes all meals. Registration forms are available from Amy Chapman by emailing chapmaab@bc.edu or
