bargains! But, please hold onto your items until the designated weekend. A list of
wished-for items will be in the next edition of the bulletin.

ready-made formula, larger size diapers, and baby cereal. The Shattuck

cans of coffee/boxes of tea and new or used books. Donations may be placed in one of the
wicker hampers in the upper church main entryway.

Look Up and See
In ancient times, art and architecture was used in churches to teach and inspire the
faithful. Our church continues that tradition, using stone, wood and glass. You are
invited to take a new look at our church, to see its beauty and to allow it to deepen your
faith.
St. Ignatius Church is set up in a
traditional cross form. The long part of
the cross is called the nave and the shorter
arms of the cross is called the transept.
The transept window on the side of the
church nearest Commonwealth Avenue,
the Epistle side of the church, portrays
scenes from the hidden life of our Lord.
From left to right the first lancet depicts
the Annunciation; the second, the
Nativity; the third, the Finding of the
Child Jesus in the Temple; and the fourth,
the Carpenter Shop at Nazareth. In this
fourth lancet, a medallion depicting a
printer operating a press fittingly recalls
the trade of the donors of this window.
The transept window on the Gospel side
recalls events from the public life of Our
Lord. From left to right: the first lancet
depicts The Wedding Feast at Cana; the
second, the Healing of the Leper (Luke 5:12);
the third, the Ecce Homo scene when Jesus
was condemned to death by Pilate; the
fourth, the Pieta scene when the body of
Jesus was taken down from the cross and
placed in the arms of His sorrowing mother.
On this side of the church is the pulpit. Built
of fine-grained West Virginia oak, the pulpit
rests on a base of black Belgian marble.
Carved on the center panel are two
appropriate quotations from Sacred Scripture:
"Thy word is truth" (John 17:17), and "That they may know Thee"
(John 17:3).
