There will be a Family Mass consisting of Wallace Hall music on Palm Sunday, March 28 at 4 PM in the Church.
The Mass may be attended in person or via livestream. We are creating a photo montage of children’s hands, palms—close ups and with their faces—with music by the Wallace Hall Choir, “There’s a Wideness in God’s Mercy.” We invite you to send a few photos of your children so they can see their friends via livestream.
For families that will attend in person, contact Jean Santopatre at the email address below if your child would like to be a reader at Mass. Looking forward to creating a “Wallace Hall Family Mass” with you all!
Please email photos by FEBRUARY 28 to Jean Santopatre, Family Ministry Pastoral Associate, at santopatrej@saintignatiusloyola.org.

This week's episode Love is Stronger Than Death: On the Communion of Saints posits the question: "How do our relationships with loved ones continue after they have crossed to the other side?" Pastoral Associate Brian Pinter explores the Christian dogma of the Communion of the Saints and how we are invited to experience connection, reconciliation, support, and love from those who now pray for and with us from their heavenly place.

Parish Men's Faith Group: The Men of Lent
Tuesday, February 16th & Tuesday, March 16th at 7 PM on Zoom
Presentations and discussions will explore the men we encounter in the Sunday Lenten lectionary readings. Themes will include how we can serve as beacons of faith in a chaotic world, how God works through our flaws and wounds, learning to discern the voice of the inner prophet, and saying yes to God’s invitation to vulnerability and surrender.
The February 16th gathering will focus on Noah, Abraham, and Cyrus; on March 16th, we will visit Jeremiah, Isaiah, and Jesus.
Brian B. Pinter, Pastoral Associate, will present and facilitate the discussion.
To RSVP, email simensgroup@aol.com.

Painting and Patriotism
Wednesday, February 24th at 7 PM on Zoom
Presented by Fr. Leo J. O'Donovan, S.J.
Beset by a world-wide, deadly pathogen, suffering from severe economic distress, painfully aware of our heritage of racial injustice, and alarmed by divisions in our nation, we Americans need new reasons for patriotism. But not just any patriotism. A critical, socially aware, and committed patriotism.
Join Fr. Leo J. O'Donovan, S.J., in visiting American paintings in the Metropolitan Museum of Art to find light for what such a patriotism might be like.

Falling into Grace
Thursdays, February 25th to March 25th, at 7 PM on Zoom
Lent invites us to prepare for resurrection by allowing God’s grace to redeem and transform our broken, wounded places. The presentations and discussions will explore how we find grace in struggle and suffering, meditation practices that prepare the heart to receive grace, biblical stories of grace, letting go images of God that no longer serve us, and how we cooperate with grace. Brian B. Pinter, Pastoral Associate, will present and facilitate the discussion.

Celebrating Women of St. Ignatius:
Past | Present | Future
Thursday, March 11th at 7:00 PM in the Church and Livestreamed
What’s in store? You will be greeted by large-size photos of 130 women of our parish on display in the church. And you can read their personal faith stories. Don’t miss this unique chance to “meet” these women and “hear” their voices!
Plus, our parish will be recognizing four women for their decades of service—Maureen Fullam, Pattie Hughes, Jean Junker, and Kathy Murnion. Come, be part of that celebration!
That same evening, the Laetare Lecture will be given by Kerry Robinson, founder of Leadership Roundtable, entitled “New Voices. New Talents. Time for New Roles for Women in the Church?” Kerry’s talk will be a provocative discussion of ways the Church can further its mission by tapping into women’s gifts—spiritual, intellectual, moral, decision-making and management skills. Isn’t it time?
See you on March 11th! Come at 6:30 pm so you have time to get a good look at the photos and read the personal statements.
(Seating in the church on March 11th will adhere to social distancing rules. Masks and prior registration will be required.)

Last summer, Fr. Yesalonia announced an ambitious expansion of our livestream capabilities at the parish.
We will soon have the capability to livestream Sunday Mass from Church. Additionally, monitors will be installed in the Church and so that pre-recorded music can be broadcast into the Church during services.
Eventually, services and events will be livestreamed from the Lady Chapel, the Church, and Wallace Hall.
