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.
In light of the new translation of the Roman Missal that will be inaugurated in Advent 2011, this year’s book will
provide a fascinating and informative history of Eucharistic celebrations in the church from the earliest days down
through the centuries to our own time. It is “a rich feast of insight, knowledge, and information about eucharistic
history and practice through the centuries” (Professor Teresa Berger, Yale Divinity school).
The book is: From Age to Age: How Christians Have Celebrated the Eucharist by Edward Foley (Collegeville MN:
Liturgical Press, 2008).
Fr. Foley describes in detail the influence of culture, politics, art, architecture, and music on Christian celebrations
of the Eucharist, and how in turn, each of those dimensions have been influenced by Christian celebrations. We
can promise it will be informative beyond your wildest dreams and have something for everyone to enjoy. It is a
large book (almost 400 pages) with plenty of pictures and illustrations on just about every page. One can pick and
choose which sections are most interesting to each reader. We will devise a method for all to enjoy this fascinating
history.
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.

LITTLE ROCK SCRIPTURE STUDY
Little Rock Spripture 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.
