OF HISTORICAL NOTE!!!!!!!
Dear Parishioners,
I recently received a copy of a letter dated November 5th, 1926. The letter was from then William
Cardinal O’Connell, Archbishop of Boston. It was addressed to the president of Boston College,
James H. Dolan S.J. and reads:
Dear Father Dolan: The following is to be read at all the Masses in Boston College Chapel,
Chestnut Hill, on Sunday November 7th.
With the consent of the Sacred Congregation of the Council I have established that section of
the Archdiocese of Boston herein St. Ignatius Parish, in charge of the Jesuit Fathers of Boston
College with boundaries as follows….
This goes into effect today, November 7th, 1926
Here we are on November 7th 2010, eighty-four years to the date of the founding of the parish.
When those “new parishioners” first gathered in the chapel of Boston College, could they have
ever been able to imagine the beautiful church built more than 20 years later which has been a
sacred space of prayer, worship and community for so many! Could they have ever imagined
the multitude of people within and without the parish “boundaries” who call St. Ignatius their
parish and spiritual home? Could they have ever imagined the vibrancy, dedication, and
generosity of St. Ignatius parishioners 84 years later? Thanks be to God for their dedication
which created the foundation for such a beautiful church and parish community!
On this Sunday, 84 years after the founding of the parish, I want to express my gratitude to you
for your continued support of St. Ignatius. Within the next weeks you will be hearing again
about our Annual Pledge Program that sustains our ministry. I hope and pray that you will be
as generous in the support of the parish in the coming year as you have always been.
Sincerely,
Fr Bob

BOOK DISCUSSION All are welcome to join a discussion in the rectory at 11:15 on Sunday,
November 21st. The book They Come Back Singing: Finding God With the Refugees by the Jesuit Gary
Smith is described by one reviewer as follows: Where do you go after two decades of working
with poor and homeless people, inmates and the mentally ill living in low-income hotels? For
Smith, a Jesuit priest and author of Radical Compassion, the answer was to follow God's call to
work and live with some of the most disadvantaged people in the world, the Sudanese refugees
living in Uganda. This book is a record of his six years in two refugee camps as priest and administrator.

WORKSHOP WITH MARSHA MIRKIN, PHD

the transformational power of listening and the role of God in teaching us about connection and
empathy. Sarah, Hagar and Abraham’s stories are as familiar to us as any contemporary family story,
and yet they hold wisdom that has been meaningful throughout the centuries. Please join us in the
rectory dining room for this lively discussion.
