FALL 2011 BOOK DISCUSSION GROUP
Twice a year (in the Fall and Spring), Frs. Bob and J.A. have hosted a discussion group for interested members of
the parish community. We will continue that tradition starting on Wednesday evening, October 19th, from 7:30
PM to 9 PM. The meetings are held at the Jesuit residence (130 Beacon Street). We will meet for five consecutive
Wednesday evenings ending on November 16th.
The book is: From Age to Age: How Christians Have Celebrated the Eucharist by Edward Foley (Collegeville MN:
Liturgical Press, 2008).
As usual, space is limited. Please contact Betty (ignatius@bc.edu / 617-552-6102) to reserve a space. First come,
first served! Contact either Fr. J.A. (Ja.loftus@bc.edu / 552-6115) or Fr. Bob (frvereec@bc.edu / 552-6110) with any
questions.
The book is available through Amazon.com for $20.00. It may also be available through religious bookstores.
PROTECTING GOD’S CHILDREN PROGRAM
The final program of this year sponsored by St. Ignatius will be offered on Sunday, October 23, 2011 from 3-5 PM
in the lower church (Friary room and Media/Choir room). Attendance at one of these sessions is mandatory for
anyone doing public ministry in any capacity at St. Ignatius parish.
This session is particularly aimed at
any new volunteers for liturgical ministry who have not yet completed a program. There are
other programs offered throughout the Archdiocese and a copy of a completion sheet can be presented to us at St.
Ignatius for compliance.
Please inform the office (ignatius@bc.edu / 617-552-6102) if you plan to attend this session.

ST. IGNATIUS YOUNG ADULTS GROUP
THEOLOGY ON TAP
‐
Join us on Thursday, October 20th , for the Young Adults Group’s monthly
Theology on Tap. Our featured speaker this time will be Dominic Doyle, Assistant Professor of
Systematic Theology at Boston College’s School of Theology and Ministry.
Dominic will speak about the
theological virtue of faith – what it is, how one can give a robust account of faith in light of arguments made
against it by people like Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens, and why all of this matters. Afterwards,
there will be time for questions, conversation, and rebuttals from hope and love, both of which might feel excluded.
The event will be held at The Green Briar Pub in Brighton. Arrive at 7 p.m., ask for the Kinvara Room, and enjoy
what promises to be a great evening. For more information, contact Peter Folan, S.J. (pmfolan@gmail.com).

LITTLE ROCK SCRIPTURE STUDY
Little Rock Scripture Study will now take place on Tuesday evening. This semester, we will be
studying the “Spirituality of the Gospels.” This is a new study which we will be doing for the first time. The four
gospels of the New Testament provide a rich multi-dimensional portrait of Jesus Christ. Each also maps out a
unique spiritual path into life with Him. In “Spirituality of the Gospels”, the modern quest for spiritual fulfillment
is met with profound insights from the gospels and the enduring examples from the lives of the saints it has
inspired, both the ancient and contemporary. The study begins Tuesday, October 18th at 7:15 pm in the Lannon
Chapel. The cost is $21.00, which includes a commentary, study guide and DVD presentation of the study. New
members are always welcome. To register, you may call the Parish Office , 617-552-6102. If you have any
questions, please call John Dafarra 781-899-9540.
INFORMATION ABOUT THE PETITION DRIVE FOR ASSISTED SUICIDE
Between now and December 7th supporters of a bill to legalize physician-assisted suicide will be working to gather
68,911 signatures from Massachusetts voters.
This is the first step in putting this measure on the ballot in
November, 2012. The position of the Church is that all suicide is a tragedy. In a recent homily, Cardinal Seán said,
“A vote for assisted suicide is a vote for suicide”. Please consider Church teaching if asked to sign the petition for
this suicide initative.
