Santa Clara University Graduate Program in Pastoral Ministries
Connections
Notes from the Director
October 2014
As a new academic year begins, the GPPM is busier than ever. The Program is now offered in five different dioceses. One can now attend classes not only on campus but also in Monterey, in San Bernardino, in Fresno and most recently in Sacramento. Sacramento has the largest class with nearly twenty students. We also have twenty students who are taking the Hispanic Ministry Emphasis. They will all be attending the Instituto Hispano which itself had a banner summer course with seventy-five students attending. Both the Instituto and the GPPM are now growing in leaps and bounds. We are struggling to keep up with our good news. We have been greatly blessed in this mission, however, by an amazingly generous grant to provide fellowships to women taking the GPPM in the dioceses of Monterey or San Jose. Applications for the Rev. Francis L. Markey Women in Ministry Fellowships will soon be available and first Markey Fellows will be chosen to start classes in the Fall of 2015. We want to thank our alumni for all their prayers and support during this exciting time. You planted the seeds and harvest is bearing fruit – a happy thought for this Fall season.
“Where are they now?” We would like to feature short stories and reflections by GPPM alumni in future newsletters. This is a chance for alums to let all of us know what you’ve been up to and, especially, how your work at SCU in the Pastoral Ministeries program has influenced your path in life. If you have something to share, please let us know by contacting Lynne Lukenbill at llukenbill@scu.edu.

Faith Formation Conference Keynote Speakers: Friday, November 21, 9:30 AM Joe Paprocki, DMin, National Consultant for Faith Formation at Loyola Press - “Proclaiming the Gospel Joyfully: No Sourpusses Need Apply!” Pope Francis is making it clear that proclaiming the Gospel begins with an attitude of joy. Joe Paprocki, DMin, will explore the transforming effects of encountering the Risen Christ and how the fruits of this transformation must permeate our ministry so that our proclamation is one of joy.
Saturday, November 22, 10:45 AM Amy Florian, nationally recognized speaker, teacher, and retreat director - “Living Joyfully Even When Life Isn’t Joyful” We were never promised an easy, stress-free life. So how do we live with joy, even though we experience betrayal, burn-out, overload, death, divorce, economic insecurity, and all the other trials of our lives? Amy Florian explores the question with a little inspiration, sustenance, and hope.

Leadership Born of Struggle and Hope: Rutillo Grande, Ignacio Ellacuria, Jon Sobrino, and Us Commorating the 25th Anniversary of the UCA Martyrs
Kevin Burke, S.J., Associate Professor, Jesuit School of Theology, SCU.
Leadership within the Ignatian idiom is rooted in a foundational commitment to live out one’s vocation in generous relationship with God for the good of all creation. In commemoration of the 25th anniversary of the assassination of the Jesuits and their collaborators at the Universidad de Centroamerica in El Salvador, and the 200th anniversary of the restoration of the Society of Jesus, we will consider how the work of educated solidarity and the proyecto social is central to the mission of Jesuit higher education.

Winter 2015 Off-Campus Schedule for Off-Campus Blended Courses
Californians for Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act of 2014 As people of faith, we are called to make our voices and values heard at the ballot box. Every day, our families face the consequences of economic inequality, heartbreaking levels of gun violence, grave health disparities and the separation of America’s families through mass incarceration and senseless deportations. Our vote is our power to change these things. Proposition 47 is an initiative on the November 4th California ballot. If it passes, California will be the first state in the nation to end felony sentencing for drug possession and petty theft crimes. The initiative will permanently reduce incarceration and shift ONE BILLION DOLLARS over the next five years away from state corrections to K-12 school programs and mental health and drug treatment programs. It costs $62,393 per year to keep a person in state prison and $9,100 per year to keep a student in school. Do the Math. The savings from this act go 65% to grants for mental health and drug treatment programs for people in the criminal justice system; 25% to grants for K-12 schools to help at-risk students and reduce truancy; and 10% to establish trauma recovery centers for victims of crime. No one who has committed a violent crime will be released from custody. Details of the Act: * Stops prison incarceration for nonviolent crimes by reclassifying six common petty drug and theft crimes from felonies to simple misdemeanors. These changes apply to juveniles and adults. * Nearly 20,000 people eligible for release in first year by resentencing for the listed offenses. Most are African American and Latino men. * Tens of thousands fewer prison incarcerations moving forward as these will no longer be prison-eligible offenses. * Hundreds of thousand of Californians will be able to get those prior felonies which have been reclassified as misdemeanors removed from their records, eliminating barriers to jobs, housing, student loans, and public assistance. * Reallocates hundreds of millions of dollars from prisons to school programs, victims’ services, mental health and drug treatment programs. * Protects public safety. It does not apply to anyone with a prior violent felony conviction for crimes such as rape, murder and child molestation. Focuses law enforcement resources on violent and serious crimes and directs savings to programs that can stop the cycle of crime.
*Courses offered with three face-to-face meetings at offcampus diocesan locations and online synchronous meetings for the remainder of the quarter Day Time Course Title
