GALA 25, A DANCER’S
CHRISTMAS - As most of you
know, our pastor, Fr. Bob, is the
choreographer for the Boston Holiday Tradition, “A
Dancer’s Christmas.” Although our pastor doesn’t
look that ancient, this year marks the 25th
Anniversary. In celebration of this special event, we
are planning GALA 25 at the Boston College Club,
100 Federal Street in Boston on Tuesday, November
15th from 6:00 to 9:00 pm. There will be special
performances by Joel Cohen and Anne Azema (The
Boston Camerata), Dominique Labelle and Mark
Evans, Michael Burgo, Michelle Abadia, Timothy
Zimmerman and members of the Company of “A
Dancer’s Christmas.” There will be cocktails and a
light supper. We look forward to seeing you for a
special evening full of the vibrant energy and holiday
spirit that sustain “A Dancer’s Christmas.” The cost
is $100 per person. To make a reservation, please
call Jamie Huggins at 617-552-6130 or fax to 617552-6101. Please make checks payable to the Boston
Liturgical Dance Ensemble
PARKING - PLEASE NOTE: The parking lots adjacent to the church, across from the church and behind
the new St. Ignatius dormitory, as well as the lot behind St. Thomas More Hall, are all available for
parishioners from Saturday afternoon at 3:00 pm until Sunday evening. The university asks that the
parish use these lots rather than parking on St. Thomas More Drive due to safety concerns. There is also
additional parking in the lot behind the Archdiocesan Tribunal building in front of St. William’s Hall off
Lake Street.
