WALKING WITH MARY MAGDALENE IN
THE EASTER GARDEN Thursday, April
20, 2006 - Rectory Dining Room and
Chapel - 6:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
Easter and this Easter in the most
ancient and communal of ways,
namely, through the nourishment
of a meal shared and a story retold and re-envisioned. At the table
in our rectory, come with a dish to
pass and with your story of life
“eastering forth” through the liturgies of our
parish community, in this springtime, and in
your Easter celebrations. After our supper, we
will meet in the chapel for a meditation on Mary
Magdalene’s journey to grief that is transformed
into joy. Connections to our own walk in the
Easter garden of our lives will be made through
a pondering of the scripture story, especially to
the intimacy with which Mary is named and
each of us is named in our belovedness with
Jesus. Please register by calling the St. Ignatius
Rectory,

JUSTF AITH – The Good News of the Risen Christ is a comfort and a promise to the poor as
well as a call to those who are not poor to be agents of God’s compassion and justice in a
wounded world. JustFaith, a 30 week adult-education and information program, is a faithsharing journey with the social teachings of the Catholic Church. It offers parishioners an
opportunity to explore the rich justice tradition of the Church and deepen their understanding of and
commitment to social justice and loving service in our world. Sponsored by Catholic Charities, Catholic
Relief Services and the Campaign for Human Development, this national program has been changing
hearts and minds in parishes around the country. Its founder, Jess Jezreel, will facilitate a one-day
workshop in this region on Saturday, April 22nd at St. Joseph’s parish in Kingston, Mass. If you are
interested or just curious, join Catholics from our own parish and parishes throughout the region to find
out more. And, check out the website too: http://www.catholiccharitiesusa.org/justfaith/. The
