COLLECTION FOR RETIRED SISTERS
On the weekend of November 21st-22nd, the Archdiocese of Boston will take up this collection. The Archdiocese of
Boston has been blessed with many schools, hospitals and social service agencies. The common denominator in the
history of these institutions is the dedicated service of Sisters who gave themselves untiringly to the service of the
Church. Through this collection, the Archdiocese will remember those Sisters who have served so faithfully and
are now retired. This is “A Moment of Thanks for a Lifetime of Service.”
PRAYING WITH IGNATIUS OF LOYOLA
If you would like to deepen your experience of prayer, learning more about the ways of praying that

young Jesuits from the School of Theology and Ministry, will engage you in the ways of Ignatian
prayer and give you some foundation in the Spiritual Exercises may also lead to your participation in
making the Spiritual Exercises in Everyday Life which will be offered in the parish beginning in the Autumn of
2010. "Praying with Ignatius" which began on November 1st, will be offered on alternate Sundays through midDecember and again from mid-January through the Easter season. Meeting times are from 4:00-5:15 PM so that
people can participate in the 5:30 Liturgy if they choose. If you are interested in attending or want to find out more,

THE ENNEAGRAM - Have you ever wondered why you do the things you do? And why other people do the
things they do? The Enneagram is an ancient method of personality typing which has been used for centuries to
increase self-knowledge. Because the Enneagram is basically an oral tradition, it is best learned in workshops. Gail
O’Donnell, RSCJ, has been giving Enneagram workshops since 1980 and will be the presenter of a workshop to be
held on Saturday, November 14, 2009 from 9:30-4:30 pm in the Friary Room. The cost is $30.00. Please bring your
own lunch (or you can go across the street to a sandwich shop). Coffee, drinks and snacks will be provided.
During the workshop, presentations will be given on each of the nine personality types in the Enneagram and
reflection questions will be offered to help each participant identify his or her "number.” An appreciation for why
we act the way we do, as well as why others act differently, can serve to facilitate reconciliation within ourselves,
our relationships and the communities in which we live. Please email mtracy@sjnen.org if you are interested in
attending. Space is limited.
