BOOK DISCUSSION - Looking for summer reading? May we suggest The Gift by Hafiz, translated by Daniel
Ladinsky. Then join us for discussion of this book on September 20th at 11:15 in the rectory living room. Reviewer
Patricia Monaghan has this to say about The Gift: “Hafiz is so beloved in Iran that he outsells the Koran. Nothing
is too human for Hafiz to celebrate, for in humanity he finds the prospect of God. In everything from housework to
lovemaking, he celebrates the spiritual possibilities of life. A fine and stirring new presentation of one of the
world's great poets”.

REGISTRATION FOR 2009 – 2010: St. Ignatius Faith Formation has begun the registration process for
the 2009 –
2010 academic year and will continue throughout the summer. 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 20, our registration fee will be $250 per family. If
you have not already registered, we urge you to do so as soon as possible.

OUTREACH MINISTRIES
THANK YOU SO MUCH for your generous outpouring of love and concern for
families in need of assistance in providing back-to-school supplies for their
children. We’d be happy to accept any late-arriving donations; they may be
dropped off at the Rectory.
WHERE WE’VE BEEN… This has been a busy few months for parish Outreach
involvement. Our monthly Shattuck service continues, even during the dog days of summer!
The July cookout at Shattuck was a huge success, thanks to servers and food and cash
donors. Outreach helpers ministered to the Guests at Cor Unum Meal Center in Lawrence
in both July and August.
Thanks so much to all of you who participated in any way.
Hunger does not take a vacation, so our efforts are especially appreciated in the summer
months when many agencies feel the absence of donors and volunteers. And
we’ve just wrapped up our annual back-to-school items drive.
WHERE WE’RE GOING… We’ll soon be gearing up for a number of Outreach
efforts.
These include:
monthly meal serving at Shattuck Shelter;
participation in the October 18th Newton Walk for the World (aka, CROP Walk), a 10K
which benefits both local agencies and Church World Services; our annual winter clothing
drive for Shattuck Shelter Guests (October 24th/25th); Senior Outreach activities; and
Christmas Gift Drive prep for the Drive which kicks off on November 21st. Stay tuned
for additions to the list!
