Unbridled Hope by Jean Santopatre, Pastoral Associate
November 22, 1963. Every year on this day, I remember those “Four Days that Shocked the World.” Our young President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963, at 12:30 PM. President Kennedy represented the spirit of unbridled hope, that we, as Americans, could tackle the social injustices of racism to build a kinder, gentler world of love and possibilities.

In this week's episode, Pastoral Associate Brian Pinter poses an important question: "Why Do I Feel Tired All The Time?!" Many "energy vampires" are now at play in our lives - mask-wearing, toxic politics, and a sense that we are "wandering in the desert." All this creates a chemistry that devours a great deal of emotional and spiritual energy, leaving us feeling exhausted. We name a few of these realities, as well as ways we can enhance our self-care.

In his Thursday, November 12th homily, Fr. Hallinan urges us to cast aside whatever prejudices and preconceptions we may hold and recognize that "[a]ll persons have an inherent worth, dignity, and value. And, so, we have to look at our lives to see whether we, in fact, are the persons of mercy and forgiveness we are called to be. Do we foster reconciliation or are sometimes instruments of division? Do we recognize that persons can change and encourage that change?"

Celebrating Women at St. Ignatius: Past, Present, Future
SAVE THE DATE—March 11, 2021
Recently, we announced that on March 11, 2021, our parish is having a special event to celebrate all of the women of the parish for their service to our parish family.
The evening will have two parts: first, we will be honoring four women who have given decades of extraordinary service to our parish. We will keep their names secret for now. Second, we will be giving our parish a unique chance to “meet” our women and “hear” their voices. How? We will be displaying their photos and sharing their reflections.
COME AND BE PHOTOGRAPHED—November 22 & December 2, 2020
Women of St. Ignatius! Come and be photographed! Click here for more information.

November has been designated as National Donor Sabbath by the organization LiveOnNY, the federally designated organ procurement organization for New York City, and is dedicated to elevating the power of faith-based communities to bring hope to those waiting for a lifesaving organ transplant.
Here in New York, there are nearly 10,000 children and adults on the organ transplant waiting list. These are our family, friends, neighbors, and fellow parishioners and they need our help. Being a registered organ donor gives us the opportunity to provide our vulnerable brothers and sisters with a second chance at life.
For more information on what you can do to help, please visit https://www.liveonny.org/national-donor-sabbath/.
