ARRUPE AND CATHOLIC CHARITIES THANK THE ARTS-BASED FAITH FORMATION PROGRAM
Our heartfelt gratitude goes out to the many Saint Ignatius families who provided holiday gifts to more than 40
refugee children in the Archdiocese of Boston this Christmas. Your love and generosity were deeply felt and deeply
appreciated!
ARRUPE MEETING SUNDAY JANUARY 10TH
AFTER THE

RESETTLEMENT USING PARISH ENERGIES - Interested in learning more about the parish outreach ministry to
refugee families in the Archdiocese of Boston? Come to the Friary Room after the 5:30 Mass and find out how you
might get involved. Help plan the new year and meet some terrific parishioners in the process! Refreshments and
exciting opportunities to serve will be served! For further information, email Anne Murphy: ammurphy@verizon.net
COME AWAY FOR THE WEEKEND
This coming winter, St. Ignatius will be offering a women’s retreat at the Sacred Hearts
Retreat Center in Wareham. Women of all ages are invited to a weekend away from
3pm on Friday, February 5th, through lunch on Sunday, February 7, 2010. Unlike the parish retreats, this
retreat will not be silent, and will feature opportunities to relax, rest, pray, and talk with other women
about life’s experiences. The cost of the weekend is $145 per participant and includes lodging and all
meals. To register for this retreat, please email Amy Chapman at chapmaab@bc.edu or call 617-5526103. A deposit of $50 is required.

need to be a spiritual guru, just willing to participate in the conversation! Pre-registration is required so
that we send you the Sunday readings in advance and plan the meal. Contact Amy Larson at 781-9291835 by January 19th to reserve your spot at the table.

FAITH FORMATION NEWS
PERSONAL SAFETY PROGRAM
The Archdiocese of Boston mandates that each year we offer a personal safety program to children in
grades 1-8 of our Faith Formation program. We choose to offer this over three Sundays in January. This
will be our fourth year doing the program. As in the past, you have the right to have your child opt out
of the program. The Archdiocese requires that we keep records of how many people opt out of the
program; it is also easier for us to plan when we know how many people will be attending each session.
If your child(ren) is going to be absent or you wish to keep your child(ren) out of the program, please
email me and let me know.
Grades 1-5 (including ABP students) will meet from 9:00 – 9:45am and grades 6-8 will meet from 11:15 –
12:00. All classes will be held in the rectory.

When the song of the Angels is stilled,
When the Star in the sky is gone,
When the Princes are home,
When the Shepherds
are back with their flocks,
The Work of Christmas Begins
To find the lost,
To heal the broken,
To feed the hungry,
To release the prisoner,
To rebuild the nations,
To bring peace among people
To make music in the heart.
