News from St. Ignatius Catholic School

Dear Parishioners,

Saint Ignatius Catholic School has had a very busy start to the new school year. Last week we mentioned about

the work we are doing on Catholic Ethos and we will have a new initiative this week with a Rosary event on

Friday 7th October. This will link in with Catholic Schools all across the world and especially in the Archdio-

cese of Detroit. Our theme for the week is Prayer, Food for the Soul thus the rosary event ties nicely into this.

We are delighted to announce the appointment of our Head Prefects for 2011-2012. This year we have ap-

pointed two female sixth formers and I congratulate Kelcey Huggins and Danielle Borden on their appoint-

ments. I know that Kelcey and Danielle will be excellent role models for all our students and I am very confi-

dent that these talented and highly motivated young ladies will fulfil these roles of responsibility with great

skill and much success. In addition we have appointed deputy head prefects to lead the following groups: Aca-

demic Support (Sasha Veeran), Charitable Fundraising (Gemma Cowan and Lucy Day), Liturgy and Service

(Katalina Watler), mentoring (Alia Huzinga-Wright), Hospitality (Clare Louise McGrath) and School Sprit &

Events (Chloe Tathum). I wish them all much success in their new roles.

In our review of our summer examination results we have had many notable successes that I wish to pass on to

you. This week I wish just to feature the Year 13 group.

Our Year 13 graduates was our largest group to date and they achieved the second highest performance in the

history of the A-Level programme in the school. Just over 78% of examination entries were at A*-C grades

and what was especially pleasing was that the majority of students obtained the university course of their

choice whether in Canada the United states, UK or elsewhere. In addition, a number of students were awarded

very competitive private scholarships in addition to the government scholarships awarded and this is a tribute

to the excellent students we have and the great work done by Mrs. Artuch assisted by Mr. Embleton.

Some notable results include Michael Sun who gained five A2 level grades ABBCD, Michael has now gone

on to study Medicine at Emory University USA; Matthew McTaggart gained three A2 grades, AAB and is

now studying Aerospace Engineering at Pennsylvania State University.

Matthew also gained a full Scholarship from the Cayman Government and a scholarship from Campbells Law

Firm. Michael Testori gained 2 A grades and a B grade at A2 Level and is now studying law at the University

of Kent on a Walker’s Scholarship; Yannick Whorms gained an A and two B grades at A2 level and is pursuing

a degree in Law at the University of Leicester on a Maples Scholarship; John Fawkes gained four A2 grades, 1

A grade, 2 B grades and a D grade and is now studying Economics at the University of Newcastle funded

through two scholarships from the CI Government and Maples.

These are just a sample of the students who graduated from Year 13 this year and there are many more that we

could feature who have also done exceptionally well.

In the coming week we have all the school photographs happening and the last day of September was a non-

uniform day in the school. The funds raised from this fun event go towards our educational trips fund. This

October Mrs. Weaver will be leading a trip to Washington to deepen the GCSE students’ knowledge and

understanding of American History and Politics. The trip is already fully subscribed and I am delighted to be

able to accompany Mrs. Weaver for what should be an excellent trip.

On Friday 30th there is also a large group from the school going to see the Godspell production and I thank Ms

Kennedy and Mr. Miller for their promotion of this event.

Finally Mr. Doran is planning a school pilgrimage to Rome in summer 2012 and we are now advancing in our

planning and costing of this event. There may be some parishioners who may also be interested in joining this

group. It will involve a great deal of walking and the highpoint is an audience with His Holiness Pope Benedict

XVI. Such audiences can be reserved and Mr. Doran has had much experience in leading school groups from

the UK on such pilgrimages. However such reservations can be subject to change due to the Holy Father’s

changing schedule.

If any parishioner wishes to learn more about this planned pilgrimage please contact Mr. Doran at:

BETANIA (XIV) CAYMAN

Who are we?

Servant of God, Maria Esperanza de

Bianchini, who passed away in August

2004 and whose cause for Canonization

opened rather quickly by the Vatican, on

January 31, 2010, visited Cayman in

1998 when she formalized the Betania

Group of St. Ignatius under the priestly

office of Fr. Devon Nash.

She asked that we meet monthly for

fellowship, and to morally and

virtuously support each other in our

everyday lives, staying connected to the

main Foundation, at Finca Betania,

which together with her husband, Mr.

Geo Bianchini, and as directed by Our

Lady Blessed Mother, she founded, just

outside Caracas, Venezuela in 1976.

The Group, (which grew to

approximately 40 persons who had been

to Betania, and knew her personally), for

quite some time, was very active in the

Parish, but over the years since 2002,

had dwindled, mainly due to members

leaving the island. Late in 2009 at the

announcement of the Vatican’s Opening

of the Cause for her Canonization, we

were again brought together, by her

husband, to re-establish this monthly

meeting, and reconciliation.

Where is Betania?

Betania is derived from the word

Bethany which is where Jesus used to go

and spend time with Lazarus, Martha

and Mary.

Located an hour’s drive outside Caracas,

Venezuela, in the town of Cua, Betania

is a self-sufficient Farm, a Holy Site of

Pilgrimage approved by Bishop Pio

Bello Ricardo, (Vatican approval by

Pope Benedict XVI - as Cardinal

Ratzinger). Betania, which is the only

site of pilgrimage approved by the

church during the life time of the

Visionary, is open year round, for all the

members of the Betania Foundation, and

pilgrims from all over the world.

Limited standard accommodation is on

site for pilgrims, and the family of Maria

Esperanza, also have their second homes

located there.

Maria Esperanza, died in 2004 but

before her death, in a message from Our

Blessed Mother, she was told that

Betania would spread by communities

all over the world. Maria Esperanza

thought there would be 12 Betania

communities, however what started at

Betania to other parts of the World, now

numbers 15 communities and counting,

with the Cayman Islands approbated #14

community of the Apostolate to be

called Betania (XIV) Cayman, on March

27, 2010 in Betania, by Mr. Geo

Bianchini, President of the Betania

Foundation, and husband of Maria

Esperanza.

What do we do?

We endeavour monthly fellowship,

when we keep abreast of happenings in

the Parish and Country and discuss

topics of various interests, in particular

how we should disseminate the

messages of Betania, for the

development of a Marian Community in

Cayman, known with the approbation -

Betania (XIV) Cayman.

At each meeting, one or both of our

Priests is usually present. We start each

meeting with the Rosary, and follow

always with a nice pot-luck dinner,

discussion and fellowship. Always a

very enjoyable time, each person is

given the opportunity to voice their

concerns and issues, and where needed a

plan of collective action is usually

agreed. Normally we work within the

church along with the Evangelization

Committee and the Christian Service

Commission, or anywhere assistance is

available. We take turns to organize the

meetings and rotate to each member’s

homes as is convenient.

Betania (XIV) Cayman.

The mission of Betania (XIV) Cayman is

Reconciliation and the Gospel; these

encompassing every aspect of human

life, through living the Gospels, and

spreading the virtues throughout the

islands, growing the Catholic faith.

There is no definitive plan and the work

will unfold according to God’s own

plan. Focus is on the human family of

God encompassing all persons in the

nature of God. Love is the path to

Reconciliation and the Gospel and this is

the route we endeavor to follow.

Our Lady appeared in Betania

Venezuela as Our Lady Reconciler of all

Peoples and Nations. We are called to

live this message and to spread it, by

first, reconciliation within ourselves, on

into our families, our friends, our

community and the rest of the World.

Our Lady’s Message clarifies this:-

First Apparition: March 25, 1976 - 8:30 a.m. "Daughter, here you have Me, with My Hands enriched with graces and covered with splendors of light, to call all My children to conversion; this is the seed of glory I offer as "MARY RECONCILER OF PEOPLE AND NATIONS", for I come to reconcile all of you. Reconciliation is the inheritance of divine brotherhood of My Divine Son! Daughter, hand on My message to all. I will keep you here in My Heart from today on and forever!" Mary Reconciler of the People!

If you feel in your heart a desire to join

Betania (XIV) Cayman, we are asked to

consider that heart-felt feeling in the

manner of Our Lady at the appearance of

the Archangel Gabriel to her. Ask

yourself the question:- What is my role?

How can I contribute to the development

of Betania (XIV) Cayman through

reconciliation and the Gospel?

“Let us recall the words the Most

Blessed Virgin, Reconciler of Peoples,

gave us, through Maria Esperanza,

Servant of God:- “This is my time, this

is my hour and the bells are ringing,

calling all my children to announce

reconciliation to the world, so they may

lead a living example of an apostolic

life, with true fervor, drawn to love, an

expression of peace and reconciliation

among brothers. I want your conversion

to be total and universal, because this is

the humanity of Christ my Divine Son,

Who IS among you. The great day of

man’s freedom is coming and it is only

fair for all of you to be saved.”

Should you decide that you would like to

find out more, you are more than

welcome to attend our meetings. All our

members have had wonderful spiritual

experiences to share with you. Together

we will build on all our ideas, goals and

aspirations for a Marian Community in

Cayman, where Our Blessed Mother and

Her Son, Our Lord lead us to peace and

reconciliation with God; Our Father.

Betania (XIV) Cayman promotes a life

of prayer and Community Service, and

although not obligatory we do

recommend the following:

Daily Mass attendance:- the Mass is

the summit of our faith and we gain our

strength from receipt of the Blessed

Sacrament.

Eighteenth Apparition: March 28, 1989 - 5:00 p.m. "My daughter, My children, here I am... I beg each one of you to especially mend your lives, with penance, the needed prayer, to vindicate God's justice, so offended in these times by men... on the other hand, it is very important for you to attend Holy Mass frequently and to receive the Eucharist... so that My Divine Son's nourishment may help you in such a way that you will feel enlightened inside by an unknown light... wonderful and sublime... which is the great sign God, Our Father, wishes for the salvation of all those who with humility surrender faithfully to His Heart..!" "That is why, nourish and increase your fervor, longing spiritual

improvement... so you may serve, offering your lives as brothers with a deep and lively brotherly participation... so you may enjoy the goods God created for all of you..!" "Children, I love you very much, and My love is so great I call each one of you to My grotto of prayer, so you may meditate and live the Gospel... protected by the grace of the Holy Spirit... with His divine charismas..!" "Behold, I offer you My Heart, united to My Divine Son's Heart, so you may live the most profound experience with Us... in order to enjoy the sublime moment of a living testimony, the fundamental basis of a great truth: WE LIVE AMONG YOU! Participate children! And cradle yourselves here in My Heart..! I keep you..!" Mary Reconciler of the People!

Daily Adoration, silent prayer is a

means to get to know Our Lord and to

build up our relationship with Him.

Fifteenth Apparition: February 16, 1989 - 4:00 p.m. "Daughter, children, here I am..! Living among you..! Children, My Heart beats with Heavenly delights as I gaze at each one of your faces which come to find the hope of better days, to solidify your steps on the road that leads to Mount Zion. For My fountain of the waters of Betania shall restore your souls to a new life... that will bring you to lead an apostle¹s life, that is to say, of service, devoted to a mission of love, which will reaffirm your trust in the

light of the New Dawn of My Divine Jesus! He, My Beloved Son, wishes for all of you to live cradled in this motherly Heart, with the charismata and graces of the Holy Spirit. In this way, My children may hold hands, based on the Commandment, Love one another..!¹ It is the only truth that can save mankind from a war among brothers... that is to say, in these times, all should have recourse to the charitable harvest of good deeds, which is the identification of love and of truth of God's people, who are longing for Social Justice... because as long as unity does not come forth, you will lead a life of anguish, grief, shadows and sorrow. Behold, children, the love of a Mother, who cherishes you... and comes as a starting point to lead you toward a law of justice, love, peace and reconciliation..!" "Prayer... Meditation... Penance... Eucharist..!" Mary Reconciler of the People!

Daily Rosary, this is a weapon of the

Church and through it we ask Our

Blessed Mother’s intercession.

Seventh Apparition: March 25, 1984 - 3:00 to 6:30 p.m. "My children, I am Mary, Virgin and Mother Reconciler of Nations, I come with My Son in My Arms to reconcile you. O sublime hope of yours..! Pray the Rosary..! Sons and daughters, you have felt Me and seen Me, touching the truth that I live among you... continue to be loyal to the call that today I make... and let us walk

the path together..! I lead you..!" Mary Reconciler of the People!

We encourage an annual pilgrimage to

Betania, or another Holy Place of choice.

Our Lady calls us all to frequent retreats,

so that Her Son can rekindle every cell

of our body, making us as new. Betania (XIV) Cayman is planning a

Pilgrimage for March 25 2012, Feast of

the Annunciation. which is the 2nd

Anniversary of our appointment as

Betania (XIV) Cayman. This date will

be an annual anniversary event.

next meeting, or desire further

Esperanza, Servant of God is on the
