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 have begun looking for catechists for the upcoming 2010-2011 academic year. We
have been very fortunate to always have very reliable, dedicated catechists. As the summer begins to
draw 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. IGNATIUS TRANSITIONS GROUP
Weekly meetings will resume on Wednesday, September 8th. The Transitions Group is for parishioners in
career transition and seeking to network, gain access to helpful resources or simply get support and
fellowship in a non-threatening and non-judgmental environment. For more information about the
Group, please visit our web site http://www.bc.edu/bc_org/prs/stign/transitions.html
ST. COLUMBKILLE PARTNERSHIP SCHOOL
is still accepting registrations for the 2010-
2011 school year. A limited number of openings are available in grades Pre-K through 8. The St.
Columbkille Partnership School is an exciting learning environment where students have access to
the newest curriculum materials and technology. For more information, call 617-254-3110.
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 new season of ensemble participation and ministry will begin next month. Please consult the parish
website for listings of groups and details of each, or check the parish bulletin boards for information. If
you have any questions, or would like to express interest in joining us, during August, contact Timothy
Zimmerman, Associate Director of Music/Organist at zimmerta@bc.edu or phone him at 617.552.6114.
CONCERT OF WEDDING MUSIC
The annual evening of wedding music will be held MONDAY 4 OCTOBER at 7:30 PM in

music for their big day. Questions may be addressed to Timothy Zimmerman at

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).
