THE MEMORARE

Remember, O
Most Gracious Virgin Mary,

That Never Was It Known That Anyone Who Fled To Your Protection,

Implored Your Help,
Or Sought
Your Intercession,
Was Left Unaided.

Inspired By This Confidence,

I Fly Unto You,
O Virgin Of Virgins,
My Mother.

To You I Come;
Before You I Stand Sinful And Sorrowful.

O Mother Of The Word Incarnate!

Despise Not My Petitions,

But In Your Mercy Hear And Answer Me.
Amen.

The New England region of the Ignatian Volunteer Corps (IVC) will present its highest honor on April 21 to Henry and Carol Shelton for their lifelong organizing for social and economic justice reflecting the Jesuit tradition of direct service to the poor and of working and educating for a more just society.

The Madonna Della Strada Award is named after Sancta Maria Della Strada, the first church where Saint Ignatius, the founder of the Society of Jesus, and his early Jesuits based their ministry to serve the urban poor in Rome in the sixteenth century.

St. Michael's is currently applying for an IVC volunteer who would work with the African community and funds raised at the Della Strada could help make this happen. An IVC volunteer works at a placement like St. Michael's two days a week in a staff level positions (and expectations). Most IVC volunteers are over 50, with a life-time of professional work experience to bring to their placement. Volunteers also participate in a 10-month program in Ignatian spirituality and meet regularly with a spiritual reflector.

The event, which is IVC New England’s major fundraiser, begins at Boston College High School with a 4pm Eucharistic liturgy. A buffet dinner and awards ceremony follows from 5-7pm.

Based in Baltimore, IVC nationally now consists of 17 regions throughout the United States. IVC New England is in its fourth year of operation in Worcester, Boston and Providence and surrounding communities. There is a $100 suggested donation.
