In his pastoral letter, Fr. Greg reflects on our 21-year relationship between St. Ignatius Parish in San Francisco, California and Parroquia San Antonio in Soyapango, El Salvador.
On November 16, 1989, members of the Salvadoran military brutally murdered six Jesuit priests, their housekeeper, and her 15 year old daughter at the University of Central America in El Salvador. This week, we honor their memories.
In the month of November, the Church invites us to remember our beloved dead: invites us to enter again into the mystery of mortality, and into the promise of hope. In this week's In the Margins, Fr. John Whitney, SJ reminds us that it is the pain of death by which the resurrection gains its meaning and its power.
