Would you like to learn more about some
of the ways of praying that St. Ignatius
used? In preparation for the Spiritual

monthly gatherings on prayer and spiritual direction,
on Tuesday evenings, October 17th, November 21st
and December 19th from 7:15 pm – 9:00 pm. Please

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
gatherine 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, October 17th, November 21st
and December 19th at 7:15 – 9:00 pm. For more
information, contact Fr. Ken at 17-552-6113,
