BOOK DISCUSSION On Sunday, September 19th, after the 10:00 am Liturgy, we will be discussing the novel
Peace Like a River by Leif Enger in the rectory This is a stunning debut novel, one that sneaks up on you like a

ultimately miraculous.

Protecting God’s Children Program
The Archdiocese of Boston requires all church volunteers (in whatever capacity) to complete a training
program in child abuse prevention. If you are a new volunteer in any St. Ignatius ministry, you must be
able to verify your attendance at a Protecting God’s Children (PGC) program. If you have any questions
or concerns, please contact the appropriate supervisor of your ministry.
St. Ignatius will sponsor its first program on Sunday, September 19, 2010 from 2 to 4 PM in the
Choir/Media room of the lower church.
As part of this process, all will also be required to complete a new CORI (Criminal Offender Record
Information) form for the Archdiocese. These are required annually.
Please inform the St. Ignatius Office (Betty McLaughlin @ 617-552-6102 or ignatius@bc.edu) if you plan on
attending.
Thank you for your cooperation in maintaining a safe and secure atmosphere for all children at St.
Ignatius parish.
CATECHISTS - We are in need for catechists for the upcoming 2010-2011 academic year. We have been
very fortunate to always have very reliable, dedicated catechists. As the summer drawing to a close, we
are hoping to fill all of our vacancies. Our catechetical sessions will begin in September and continue
through May, and catechists are provided with curricula and materials. If you are interested, please
contact Amy Chapman at chapmaab@bc.edu or 617.552.6103.
At this point, we still need catechists for the following grades:
Pre-school (need 2 catechists) - Grade 2 (need 4 catechists)
Grade 3 (need 4 catechists) - Grade 4 (need 1 catechist) - Middle School (need 2-3 catechists)
St. Mary of the Angels in Roxbury is looking for catechists for their Faith Formation program for the
2010-2011 academic year. If you can provide any assistance or would like additional information, please
contact Amy Chapman.
ST. IGNATIUS TRANSITIONS GROUP - Weekly meetings resumed on Wednesday, September 8th.

unity and love in our world and in our own hearts. Visit http://www.csjboston.org/

MUSIC MINISTRY
Liturgy at St. Ignatius is enriched by a variety of musical ensembles. Each group serves primarily to
enhance our liturgies and to support our assembly singing. Though we offer a wide range of musical
styles and different levels of time commitment, all our ensembles prepare with a desire to praise with all
of hearts , minds , voices, and instruments, for the GREATER GLORY OF GOD.
The fall begins a new season of our Music Ministry Ensembles. Please check the Music Ministry page of
the parish website for details of our music ministry groups. If you have any questions, please contact
Michael Burgo at 617-552-6108 or burgo@bc.edu.

FOR
2010 – 2011
If you plan to register your child (children) for Faith Formation, please contact Amy Chapman,
Faith Formation Director for registration materials. Classes begin on Sunday, September 26th.
As usual, the earlier you register, the easier it is for our office. Because we are grateful when
you register early, we will ask for a “pre-registration” donation of $200 per family. After
September 1, our registration fee will be $250 per family.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TO REGISTER:
Catechetical Session Information:
Pre-School
Sundays, 8:45 – 9:45am
With the success of this year’s pre-school class during the 8:45 – 9:45am time slot, we’re going to
continue that for next year. We believe that, even at 3 years old, students enrolled in “Faith
Formation” should expect and receive catechesis, not a nursery program (which can be
valuable, as well). We want all members of our community to be welcome at liturgy.
Kindergarten & Grade 1
Sundays, 8:45 – 9:45am
Our kindergarten and grade 1 program will be the same as this past year. Approximately every
4-6 weeks, we will do a whole community catechesis event with our students, their parents, and
catechists, along with students, parents, and catechists in our Grade 1 classes, which will set an
upcoming theme in both classes. In between those sessions, students will meet as graded
groups with two catechists.
Grade 2
Sundays 8:45-9:45am
Our Grade 2 program is the year in which preparation for the sacraments of First Reconciliation
and First Eucharist occur. Preparation for these sacraments, which requires a separate
registration form, occurs during two “retreats”, one for each sacrament. There will be a parent
meeting in the fall to discuss additional preparation requirements.
Grades 3-5
Sundays 8:45 – 9:45am
Our program for these grades will continue to follow our textbook series, Blest Are We.
Arts-Based Program
Alternating Sundays, 11:00-12:30
Our Arts-Based Program continues to be a wonderful and popular choice for some students and
families. This year, due to last year’s very high enrollment, we will need to limit the amount of
people who will be allowed to register for the class to 60 children. Prior to registering for this
class, parents are required to meet individually with Amy Chapman to discuss their
commitment to regular attendance on the part of each student, a commitment of regular
classroom assistance on the part of each parent as well as a commitment to attending the annual
fall retreat.
6th-8th Grades
Alternating Sundays, 11:15 – 12:30
Our Middle School Program seeks to give students an opportunity to engage in discussion
about their spirituality while also providing service and liturgical experiences that are aimed at
this age group. Because a critical part of the catechesis is the “out of class” component,
students will be expected to participate in service and liturgical events (which will be offered
approximately once per month).
