ST. IGNATIUS YOUNG ADULT COMMUNITY - Come to SEE! Scripture Explored and
Experienced, A Discussion Group for all single and married young adults. We meet every
Wednesday at 7:30pm in the rectory. New participants are always welcome! If you'd like more
information, contact Leslie Gray at graylm@rcn.com.
SPIRITUAL LIFE OPPORTUNITIES
St. Ignatius offers many opportunities to develop your spiritual life through prayer groups,
retreats, days of prayer, etc., but sometimes people don’t think that they know enough about prayer and
spiritual direction to engage themselves in these wonderful experiences of personal and spiritual
development. So, why not take advantage of some of the ongoing and special opportunities and see if
they are for you?
PRAYER GROUPS – Meet with a group of your
fellow parishioners to reflect on Sunday
scriptures and share your faith. One group
meets at 7:00 am every other Tuesday morning
at the rectory. Most other groups meet on
weekday evenings at the Rectory. For more
information, contact Fr. Bob at 617-552-6110,
email: frvereec@bc.edu.
SPIRITUAL C ONVERSATION – What’s it all
about? You may have heard that it’s good to
have a spiritual director, but are not sure what
that means. Why not come to a monthly
gathering of parishioners who are interested in
learning more about prayer and spiritual
direction. This is especially opportune for those
who might be interested in doing the Spiritual
Exercises in Everyday Life which will be held on
Tuesday evenings, November 21st and
December 19th at 7:15 – 9:00 pm. For more
information, contact Fr. Ken at 17-552-6113,
email: loftuske@bc.edu or Richard Moynihan at
617-552-6117, email: moynihar@bc.edu.
