Jesuit Since 1866Established in 1851

June 10, 2018 Tenth Sunday in Ordinary Time|

Welcome, Fr. Konzman!

This past January, a 21-year old sacristan at Saint Mary’s College greeted me with a chipper, “I absolutely adore baby priests!” For one thing, I was a deacon, not a priest. For another, to have this young woman call me a baby anything smarted a

bit. During the Spiritual Exercises, retreatants pray for the grace to be humiliated with Christ humiliated, and so to be humble. Yet, after ten years in Jesuit formation trying to live out of those Exercises, such a gentle condescension as “baby priest” still got under my skin.

Now, six months of prayer and reflection later, I realize that “baby priest” is exactly who I am. Those ten years have hardly gone to waste—the study of philosophy and theology, the work as a deacon, and the process of (hopefully) becoming a better person were all aimed at giving birth to the priesthood in me. They were, however, also aimed at the priesthood for you. That qualifier makes all the difference. The priesthood does not exist in a vacuum, but rather exists for and with the help of you, the people of God. It will be my joy and my duty to serve you. It will likewise (again, hopefully) be yours to nurture that priesthood and teach me everything I need to know to serve well. To that end, it might be helpful for you to know a bit about me.

I grew up in a military family and so moved around a lot as a kid—Germany, Georgia, and North Carolina. We finally settled in Scranton, Pennsylvania, where I attended a parochial elementary school. A four-year stint at Scranton Preparatory School and a further four at the University of Scranton introduced me to the Jesuits. A career in the sciences, especially chemistry, appealed to me. As I learned to pray, though, I also felt a very strong call to become a Jesuit priest. During my senior year of college, I started talking about the possibility of entering the novitiate with family, friends, and Jesuits I trusted, and they all thought it made sense. I applied, somehow got in, and became a novice in August 2008.

The two years of novitiate in Syracuse were beautiful—a chance to know Christ more deeply, develop a love for the liturgy and prayer, and to live with the most excellent men I have ever met. I studied philosophy at Fordham University, where I also worked at St. John Chrysostom, a Catholic elementary school in the South Bronx. Two wonderful years at Gonzaga College High School followed in D.C., where I taught computer programming, served as the director of worship, and coached and chaplained various sports teams. Most recently, I have lived and studied theology in Berkeley, where I had the privilege of serving as deacon to the University of California—Berkeley Newman Center, Holy Spirit Parish. There, I taught the high school Confirmation class, chaplained the Cal rugby team, and served as a spiritual director.

Now, I’m yours. I cannot wait to get to know you, this parish, and all the ways that Christ is active through you, and with you, and in you. I pray and hope to serve you well. Please introduce yourselves to me, invite me into your lives, and don’t be put off by my severe case of RBF—Resting Brian Face (Why? What else would it stand for?). Take advantage of my strengths, be patient with my weaknesses, and, above all, pray for me. In the meantime, may Christ, who lightens every heart, pour out his abundant blessings on you all.

— Rev. Brian G. Konzman, S.J.Associate Pastor

THURSDAY, JUNE 14th

Dear Parishioners,I am very happy to inform you that, once again, we will have a newly ordained Jesuit priest joining the parish staff for one year. Father Brian Konzman, SJ, was ordained yesterday, June 9th, at the Chapel of Fordham University. As part of his ongoing formation as a Jesuit, Brian will spend a pastoral year with us.

Father Konzman will take up residence in the Parish House on Monday, June 18th. Please greet him with a hearty welcome when you see him. You will learn more about Father Konzman in his own words in the essay that is featured in this bulletin.

With the arrival of Father Konzman, we approach the end of Father McLaughlin’s pastoral year as he leaves us in July. It is not too soon to thank Father McLaughlin for his service to the parish during the past year. We will have the opportunity to bid farewell to Father McLaughlin at a reception for him on his last weekend with us.

Let us remember both Father Konzman and Father McLaughlin in our prayers as they take on their new ministries. And let us also pray that God bless the church with an increase in vocations to the priesthood and the religious life.

Sincerely in the Lord,

Fr. Yesalonia

Your Parish, Your Home

Campaign for the

Church of St. Ignatius Loyola

At the Church of St. Ignatius Loyola, we warmly welcome those who seek to be a part of a vibrant worshipping community, to grow in faith, to be

nurtured in mind and spirit, and to be joyful disciples of Jesus Christ in today’s world.

We are always open to where God is calling us. But our magnificent church buildings don’t reflect

the welcome we extend to everyone.

You can help change that by making a gift to this important capital campaign.

CAMPAIGN GOAL: $7,500,000

To learn more about the Your Parish, Your Home

Capital Campaign, visit stignatiusloyola.org/index.php/

CAPITAL CAMPAIGN

We have the privilege at St. Ignatius of welcoming many visitors and new parishioners. We especially welcome

those who may be thinking of becoming Catholic. If you feel attracted to the

Catholic faith, we want you to know about a program at the Parish that will begin in the Fall.

A group will meet during the year to inquire into the Catholic faith, to come to know Jesus through the

Gospels, and to pray and to prepare for the Easter Sacraments.

This process, which is called the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, is also open to those Catholic

adults who have not received the Sacraments of First Communion or Confirmation.

For more information, contact Maureen Fullam at 212-288-3588 or

email church@saintignatiusloyola.org
