In another time, another place, my nickname was "Nacho" not for the corn chips but for my namesake Ignacio de Loyola whose feast day we share and celebrate each year on July 31. A cousin who left the Benedictines that run St. Scholastica's to get married said in jest that my lack of perseverance was the second disappointment in our family. Some people enter religious life and stay for life, some join for a short time, either way appreciating the love for learning and the search for the Divine remains and cannot but be a blessing.
