Jesuit Since 1866Established in 1851
February 3, 2019 Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time|
Some say that Catholic social teaching is the Church’s best kept secret. But what if it wasn’t a secret? Catholic social teaching is central to our faith. It is essentially our core documents and thoughts on social justice, rooted in a commitment to the poor. The central question of Catholic social teaching is, “How are we to be in a right relationship with one another?”
According to the U.S. Catholic Bishops, “Catholic social teaching is based on, and inseparable from, our understanding of human life and human dignity. Every human being is created in the image of God and redeemed by Jesus Christ, and therefore is invaluable and worthy of respect as a member of the human family. Every person, from the moment of conception to natural death, has inherent dignity and a right to life consistent with that dignity. Human dignity comes from God, not from any human quality or accomplishment.”
Last summer, six of our Ignite! students traveled to the Omaha/Winnebago reservation in Nebraska to live out Catholic social teaching in real life. On our week-long service immersion through Young Neighbors in Action, our students got to experience firsthand what living with a commitment to the poor was like. The students were able to build relationships with those living on the reservation and hear what daily life was like. Throughout the week, we worked on many landscape projects throughout the Winnebago reservation in the mornings. Then in the evenings, we learned about the seven themes of Catholic social teaching and reflected on our service.
What struck the students the most was how little acts of kindness like raking a lawn could have a major impact on the community. The students were so moved that upon returning home, they organized a coat donation collection. Our community raised over $2000 to send to the students at the St. Augustine Indian Mission to purchase winter gear. Through Young Neighbors in Action, we were able to understand and live out Catholic social teaching. This summer, we’ll have the opportunity to do it again.
Young Neighbors in Action is an organization of the Center for Ministry Development. Their mission is to be “more than just a week of doing service. It is a service-learning experience. Young Neighbors is about helping youth deepen their commitment to the Gospel challenge to love and serve and work for justice in the world today, right here, right now. We provide you with the tools and resources you need to make this experience go beyond the week in the summer and integrate it into all you do throughout the year.”
This July Ignite! will take a group of high school students to San Diego, California. Through service, learning, prayer, and community, the students will come to grapple with real life issues that face the communities in San Diego. Prior to leaving for the trip, the group will have the opportunity to build community among themselves, learn about Catholic social teaching through three-day preparation retreats, and fundraise.
Students interested in applying can check the website (http://www.saintignatiusloyola.org/index.php/faith_formation/ignite) or email me at [email protected]. The program costs $395 per person plus the cost of transportation. The deadline to apply is March 1st.

A Note for Our Hearing-Impaired Parishioners
An Audio Induction Loop has been installed in the church, which allows those with a hearing aid equipped with a T-COIL to connect automatically with our
sound system if you are seated within the Loop area of the church; there is no need for you to use the headsets available in the rear of the church.
The Audio Induction Loop area is located on the high pulpit side of the church and is confined to the first twelve pews. The area can be identified by the gray rubberized strip on the floor at the end of each row of pews.

Rules of Civility by Amor Towles
On the last night of 1937, 25-year-old Katey Kontent is in a second-rate Greenwich Village jazz bar when Tinker Grey, a handsome banker, happens to sit down at the neighboring table. This chance encounter and its startling
consequences propel Katey on a year-long journey into the upper echelons of New York
society—where she will have little to rely upon other than a bracing wit and
her own brand of cool nerve.

Caring for the Caregiver. Saturday, February 23rd. 9:30 AM – 3:00 PM. Christ Church Methodist, 524 Park Avenue. Many are required to care for elderly or ill family members. Providing care can be one of the most spiritually, emotionally, and physically challenging experiences we pass through. But who cares for the caregiver? Without self-care, we run a high risk of burning out. Our presentations will seek to name the challenges of care-giving and explore ways we can create space to care for ourselves. Brian B. Pinter, Director of Spiritual Formation, will facilitate. To RSVP, email [email protected]
