Welcome Letter

October 2013 Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, It is our great joy to welcome you to the seventh annual University of Dallas Ministry Conference, which is co-sponsored by the University of Dallas, the Diocese of Dallas and the Diocese of Fort Worth! We hope that by Walking Together in Faith over these next few days, you will have a blessed, faith-filled, and formative experience. As the only ministry conference in North Texas, the University of Dallas Ministry Conference offers Catholics in this region an unparalleled opportunity to receive exceptional faith formation from locally and nationally recognized speakers. We are especially honored to have His Eminence Óscar Andrés Cardinal Rodríguez Maradiaga here with us, and we hope his compelling message will strengthen your resolve for evangelizing the faith. While you attend the sessions, come together in prayer, visit the exhibitors and sponsoring organizations, and enjoy liturgical artwork and musical performances over this weekend, we are confident that you will be empowered to live more fully our communion of faith and to become even more effective ministers to those whom you serve every day. Thank you for your presence, your faithful participation, and your willingness to generously share what you learn at this conference with your Catholic communities at home. May God our heavenly Father bless each of you, and may the knowledge, prayer and fellowship at this conference renew your spirit and your dedicated ministry in the Church! Sincerely in Christ, Most Rev. Kevin J. Farrell, D.D. Bishop, Diocese of Dallas Rev. Msgr. Stephen Berg Diocesan Administrator, Diocese of Fort Worth Thomas W. Keefe, J.D. President, University of Dallas

Also look for QR codes with direct links to this evaluation throughout the ICC. Exhibit Hall Passport In the back of your nametag, you will find an Exhibit Hall Passport. Simply visit the booths of the sponsors listed on the card, as well as other exhibit booths of your choice, and have them initial the card in their designated box.

Musician Biographies 5Rox Founded in 2008, 5Rox (with Rick Matos, A.J. Reine, Jeff Steele, Desiree Hlavenka and Gordon Whitman) served as the praise & worship band for the Sunday night Souled Out high school youth ministry at Our Lady of Angels Parish in Allen, TX for two years. After a three year hiatus, 5Rox reformed (Rick Matos, A.J. Reine, Jeff Steele and John Cooke) and is now performing at various venues. As a contemporary Christian music rock band based out of Plano, TX, 5Rox’s mission is to spread the Word through music to draw others closer to God and follow in the footsteps of Jesus. Coros de San Marcos All of the Spanish speaking choirs from St. Mark Catholic Church in Plano, TX united their talents and gifts towards the ministry called “Coros de San Marcos”. This ministry culminated in a CD that was made in the year 2012 with a recompilation of songs that reflect an encounter with God. A way that will lead through suffering but at the end God is there with his arms wide open and does not abandon us. This is reflected in the 19 songs that make “Evangelizando y Cantando”. Thanks to Father Marco Rangel who was the motor and support of this dream. “Coros de San Marcos” still unites to sing in events in the parish and around the Diocese. They ask God for the strength to keep moving forward and to reach more souls through their music. Los coros de la Iglesia Católica de San Marcos en Plano, TX . unieron su talento y sus dones hacía un ministerio llamado “Coros de San Marcos”. Este ministerio se concretó en un CD realizado en el año 2012, con una recopilación de cantos que reflejan un gran encuentro con Dios. Un camino que nos lleva por sufrimientos, pero al final, Dios siempre tiene sus brazos abiertos y no nos abandona. Esto está reflejado en los 19 cantos que quedaron plasmados en “Evangelizando y Cantando”. Le dan las gracias al Padre Marco Rangel por ser el motor y apoyo de este sueño. “Coros de San Marcos” sigue uniendo sus fuerzas para apoyar en eventos de la parroquia y de la Diócesis. Le piden al Señor las fuerzas para seguir adelante y llegar a más almas por medio de la música. 14

Disciples Called to Witness: What does the New Evangelization Mean for Me? — Peter Murphy, D.Min. The New Evangelization begins with a personal encounter with Jesus Christ and invites all the baptized to a radically new way of life. Because of his great love for us, Christ came so that all people might have life and live life more abundantly (John 10:10). After Pentecost, by the grace of God, the apostles experienced this new way of life. In the same way, we are invited to experience a new Pentecost in our own lives. The New Evangelization is an invitation to deepen our love, appreciation and knowledge of the faith, to grow in confidence in the Gospel, and to passionately and boldly share the truth of Jesus Christ with others. This session will explore ways to renew our passion for the faith and develop creative means to faithfully share the faith with others in the New Evangelization. Proclaiming Jesus Christ: Catechesis in the Catechumenate — Lucas Pollice, M.T.S.

Key methodolgical principles and practical tools will be presented. Also presented in Session 11 Sacrosanctum Concilium: The Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy—50 Years Later — Michael R. Prendergast Sacrosanctum Concilium recovered the importance of liturgical theology and spirituality with special emphasis on the Christological center of all Christian worship (Art. 7). Sacred Scripture was likewise restored as the source for all liturgical renewal and most importantly, since liturgy is to be “the source and summit” of the Church’s life (Art. 10), the assembly’s “full, conscious, and active participation” within the liturgy will be an essential goal of all liturgical formation. Discover the guiding values found in this land-mark document on the Sacred Liturgy. Explore ways to mark the 50th anniversary of the document (December 4, 2013) for the faith community you serve. Also presented in Session 10 Music Choices: Hymns, Songs and Antiphons — Kevin Keil The differences among Hymnody, Songs and Roman Missal Antiphons will be explored using examples.

Marriage as a Sign of the Covenant and the Covenant as a Model for Marriage — Dr. Mark D. Lowery This talk offers a surprising and enlightening perspective on what it means to call marriage a sacrament, culled from a variety of Magisterial documents such as John Paul II’s document on the family Familiaris Consortio, Vatican II’s Gaudium et Spes, and Pope Benedict XVI’s Deus Caritas Est. It is commonplace to see marriage and a sacramental sign or image of the Covenant between God and humanity, between Christ and the Church. What is less well-known is that these texts also contain a hidden goldmine about another aspect of marriage’s sacramentality: that the Covenant is a model for marriage, and an efficacious one at that. Bonus: The talk includes a brief introduction to a textual exercise that teachers, middle-school through high school, can use in their classrooms. Creation: The Big Bang — Dr. Richard P. Olenick How do physicists describe the creation of the universe? How do they envision matter, space, and time in the early universe? How did the early universe evolve in a way that led to humans being here? The current understanding of creation from the perspective of the Big Bang model will be presented and discussed using animations and metaphors. Especially applicable to Middle School and High School Education. The Special Gifts of the Sacrament of Marriage: Couples Walking Together in Faith to Fulfill Their Mission — Jake Samour, M.T.S. In the sacrament of marriage each couple receives special gifts to build up the Kingdom of God. The love the spouses share is elevated to the measure of the love of God (cf., Gaudium et Spes, 48), and so this love is put at the service of each spouse, their children and their community. During this presentation, we will explore key pastoral priorities that each marriage is called to live in order to realize their mission but more importantly these priorities coincide with what will fulfill their deepest desires for joy and happiness. Consequently, we will unpack how leader couples can help strengthen other marriages by accompanying them and walk together in faith. Certainly, each couple’s mission is first to form a communion of life and love within their own family but it is also to be sent into the world and be a witness to others. Also presented in Spanish in Session 09 Dreamkeepers: Successful Teachers of Culturally Diverse Students — Erin P. Vader Today’s Catholic schools are called to teach students of multiple ethnicities, nationalities, cultures - sometimes even religions. As Catholic educators, it is an issue of social justice when we are presented with these students. We are called by Christ to serve these students to the best of our ability. In order to serve the students we are given, we must strive to be respectful, relevant and relate the learning to children’s lives. This session will offer teachers resources, ideas and hopefully, stimulate a discussion in their own school as to how to best serve our diverse populations. Especially applicable to Elementary Education. Retaining a Talented Workforce — Dr. Brian Murray & panel Part of the Management of People “Master Class” - See pg. 17 for description.

New Evangelization: An Urgent Agenda for Our Time — Diana Dudoit Raiche, Ph.D. In October 2012 the 13th Ordinary Synod of Bishops was held under Pope Benedict XVI to discuss the New Evangelization for the Transmission of the Christian Faith. This session will explore what it means practically to re-propose the gospel and live out the Church’s mission in our complex, pluralistic society. What characterizes evangelization? What is the distinction between evangelization and catechesis? How are evangelization and apologetics distinguished? If evangelization is the responsibility of every baptized person, what are we called to do to announce the Good News of Jesus Christ? In anticipation of Pope Francis’ official statement based on the Synod Father’s deliberations, the new evangelization has become an urgent agenda for our time.

Topics covered include: (a) how to enhance instruction without watering it down, (b) how to analyze information to be learned so that all levels of learners can access the content, (c) how to select appropriate instructional methods to meet learner needs, and (d) how to confirm that important information is mastered.

Come and get your hands and minds wrapped around new approaches for integrating science and math! Especially applicable to Early Childhood and Elementary Education. Sponsored by Robert-Leslie Publishing Catholic and American? — Dr. Thomas W. Jodziewicz A person of faith must always be a stranger in the land, the city of man, as we journey, with charity and humility, to our true destination, the city of God. From its first appearance in what would become the United States, Catholicism has been confronted by tensions between the faith and an American culture not always friendly to that faith. Until recently, a hard-won religious liberty has allowed the faith to be cultivated freely in America and even to seek to influence the public conversation. The challenges of assimilation associated with the American historical experience, such as democratization and now secularization, however, continue to mark the relationship between Catholic and American. Will the faithful seek to evangelize the culture, or will the culture smooth over the sharp edges of the Good News? A Call to be Christ’s Arms in the World — Dr. Mary C. McDonald Also presented in Session 02 (see description in that section)

“The joy of the Lord is your strength” - Strengthening your school community by cultivating JOY! — Christina Mendez Working in Catholic schools is a great privilege, but has its challenges as well. Tight budgets, lack of resources, crazy schedules, etc. all try to zap our energy, steal our joy and take our focus away from priority one- helping form future saints! This session is designed to help refresh the soul by taking some time to pray and then discuss some practical ways to help you be a catalyst for joy in your school community. How Can Canon Law Help Me? — Rev. Gavin N. Vaverek, JCL Everyone in the Church is subject to Canon Law. Know your rights...and responsibilities. Law provides guidance and perspective on everything from Sacraments to devotional prayers. Our Church approaches law very differently than our American society. Understanding the differences can reduce frustration. A richer understanding of Church law can help you individually and in Church ministry. Come learn why Canon Law is not just for marriages and Tribunals. Also presented in Session 10 Developing Critical Thinking Skills — Robert Wade This presentation is designed to enable teachers to help the Critical Thinking Reading Skills that they will need to be successful on the PSAT and SAT Test as well as be successful in college. The presentation will use Primary Source Documents that teachers will utilize to develop SAT readings for their students. These can be used in Social Studies classrooms as well for cross-curricular areas such as Theology. These Readings will help the students develop their reading skills as well as learning how to use primary source documents. Teachers will have materials that they will be able to utilize in their classroom. Especially applicable to High School Education.

Let Your Math Assessment Be Your Guide — Denise Bartlett When planning an effective mathematics unit, you need to start with the “end in mind”, that is your assessment. Once your assessment is created, planning backwards is the key to ensuring your students’ success. This session will help you develop lessons, activities, use of manipulatives and evaluations to help all types of learners become successful. We will break down the intended student outcomes to help you determine where scaffolding needs to be done for your students. Students will communicate mathematically, both verbally and written, to show what they know. Please come with ideas to share. Especially applicable to Elementary and Middle School Education. Fostering Positive Affect in the Classroom: The Importance of Hope — Dr. Janette K. Boazman What is the goal that parents and educators have for the students in our schools? Ultimately, parents and educators want students to live a good life. We want the young to be happy, healthy, and lead productive lives. We want their minds open to lifelong learning, new possibilities, friendship, and service of others. We want them to be independent thinkers and doers. This session presents the importance of positive psychology in the educational setting, with a focus on hope being of foundational importance to successful student growth, development, and personal wellbeing. Real Men Pray The Rosary — David N. Calvillo All Christians, but especially men, are called to pray the Rosary and pray it with the Mary, our Blessed Mother. Join us as we discuss how rediscovering this ancient prayer method has catalyzed a worldwide movement of prayer, especially among men. Sponsored by Ave Maria Press How Would St. John Bosco Teach the Narcissistic Child? — Marlon De La Torre, M.A., M.Ed. This session will look at the teachings methods of St. John Bosco in particular the “Preventive System” in handling the all-too comon narcissistic child in the classroom. We will dissect the three pillars of the Preventive System which is Reason, Religion and Kindness and how these core principles help develop the Catholic faith in your students of any age. Bridging the Gap Between Faith and Science in High Schools — Dr. John M. Norris A large gap exists in Catholic high schools between what is taught in theology courses and what is taught in science courses. Students and faculty are often unsure about how to relate what is believed in doctrine about the origins of the world and the human species, and what is learned in physics and biology courses about the same subjects. Many students indeed are skeptical about the claims of Christian doctrine, and regard them as false, misleading, or at the least irrelevant. Insofar as these subjects are foundational to the credibility of Christianity in the contemporary world, addressing such subjects with humility, seriousness, and profound openness to dialogue is a critical key to inculcating a mature and sophisticated faith in our students. Especially applicable to High School Education. “My Parish is Becoming Hispanic!”: Suggestions to Organize Effective Hispanic Ministry in your Community — Hosffman Ospino, Ph.D. Nearly thirty percent of all parishes in the United States offer services in Spanish —and the number will likely grow during the next few years. Ministers in parishes are increasingly asked to serve Hispanic Catholics both in English and Spanish. Many don’t know where to begin; others already began and would like to improve. This workshop does not offer magic formulas (there are none!), yet it offers some good insights learned from conversations in various parts of the country. Together we will explore some basic ideas that can make Hispanic ministry a life-giving experience. Sponsored by Our Sunday Visitor Curriculum Division

Embracing the Learning Different Child in a Catholic School Environment — Helen Allison, M.Ed., Periann Pancerz, ALT, & Emily Tucker With an increasing number of families seeking a Catholic education for their children with mild learning differences, every teacher can expect to find individuals with learning differences in their classroom. Designing and implementing a resource lab within your school can provide success for students requiring a more individualized approach to learning and progressing. Despite challenges, the struggling students in our classrooms can reach their full potential. This session will give teachers and principals that are, or might be interested in welcoming students with learning differences a starting point and realistic expectations. You will gain knowledge of learning differences and how to accommodate or modify students within the general curriculum, as well as the benefits of setting up a resource lab. Especially applicable to Elementary and Middle School Education.

Look, Listen, and Learn with Literature Circles — Krista Redmond, M.Ed. Learn how to structure and facilitate collaborative student-centered literature circles as part of a balanced literacy program. Attendees will walk away understanding how literature circles provide the opportunity for students to apply and refine reading and writing skills through reader’s response journals, group discussion, and extension activities. Especially applicable to Middle School Education. The Word Became Flesh: Divine Forethought or Afterthought? — Gene Giuliano, M.A. An essential question of Christian faith is, “Why did the Word became flesh?” The answer most frequently given is that the Incarnation is God’s response to sin—God’s intervention to make things right. However, is there more to the story? Can this perspective taken alone reduce Jesus Christ to a divine afterthought? Should the Incarnation be thought of as more than God’s reaction to our sinfulness? What are the implications for our everyday relationship to God if the Word became flesh in light of God’s glory and not in light of sin; if the Incarnation is the focal point of the Father’s plan; if Jesus Christ is the divine intention from all eternity? This session reflects on the mystery of the Incarnation and offers a perspective on its significance for our lives that goes beyond “redemption” only. Leading with Laughter: Maintaining a Sense of Humor in Ministry — Julianne Stanz Ministry is joyful, rewarding and uplifting. Right? Well, not all of the time! Ministry can also be challenging, daunting and stressful. Maintaining a sense of humor in ministry is one of the keys to longevity in ministry. This presentation will focus on practical principles to avoid “burn out” and stay energized as well as finding our purpose on earth by listening to God’s guidance in our handling of hurt, loss, anger, change, illness, happiness and forgiveness. Prepare to laugh and take some time to count your blessings during this presentation! Also presented in Session 11 Sponsored by Loyola Press Where Do We Meet Jesus? — Rev. Msgr. Peter J. Vaghi, J.D. In an increasingly digital age, it is so easy to forget the living presence of the Risen Lord in our lives, the lives of each of us privileged to be baptized. Where then, and how, do we encounter Jesus each day-- an encounter which is bound to change our lives? We meet Him alive in His Word, the inspired gospel stories, in the sacraments (and most especially in the Eucharist and Penance) and in our loving service to those in need. Also presented in Session 08 Sponsored by Ave Maria Press BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) - One School’s Story — Christine Voigt & Paul Wood BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) is one of the hottest trends in educational technology. Learn how one school launched their program from both a technology and curriculum perspective. Especially applicable to Middle and High School Education. Texas History is Catholic History — Steve Landregan Texas history is so interwoven with the Catholic Faith that is difficult to separate them. Secular history books have succeeded reducing Catholic history to a mention of the missions. When Steve Landregan wrote a series of articles on Catholic History in Texas he had requests from a number of teachers for copies of the material and suggestions they be put into a book to be used as a supplement to the secular history books available. The result was publication of “Catholic Texans: Our Family Album” in 2004. A second edition was published in 2012. The book is designed to be used in 7th grade where the State of Texas requires a course in Texas History be offered. Landregan will discuss the close association of Catholicism with the history of Texas.

Ex-Spouses, Exorcisms, and Excommunication: Case Studies in Canon Law — Andrew Hill, J.D. By examining some intriguing stories from actual cases, this session will explore the scope and range of Canon Law in the Church. For example, we will discuss the civil law and Church canons on infidelity, divorce and annulments, which are often more complicated than expected. We will also discuss some topics that are not common in ministry, but provide important insight into the canons and Church law, such as exorcism and excommunication. The discussion will be about real people facing real problems, because Mark Twain was right: “truth is stranger than fiction.” Also presented in Session 11 Is your joy fuel tank JOY FULL? — Elizabeth Madeo Calling all WOMEN OF FAITH! What blesses your heart? What makes your soul smile? When do you feel your best? We must not only be aware of what brings us joy, but take the time to nurture those things in our every day life. Sometimes that means having some fun, sometimes that means saying no, sometimes that means stepping back and taking a look at the things that don’t bring us joy. Our world promises us joy in many temporary ways but we know that true joy only come from God. Following Jesus is our joy, our life and our stronghold. Let us embrace the grace and celebrate the joy of discipleship as women of faith! Pastoral Leadership in the Faith Community: The Dance of Passion and Professionalism! — Dr. Robert J. McCarty Servant, steward, coordinator, animator ... as our understanding of ministry evolves, our image of the pastoral leader must change as well. This session will identify foundational understandings of ministry and characteristics of effective pastoral leadership operative in our faith communities. We will also identify the fundamental tasks and challenges of the leader in the Christian community and propose three images for the pastoral leader in today’s Church. The Book of Tobit: A Charming Old Testament Tale of Life and Family Values — James B. McGill, M.A. The Book of Tobit is an Old Testament book found in the Catholic Bible. It is rarely read or studied which is too bad. It tells the story of a family struggling with living a virtuous life under various difficult and challenging settings. Besides parents, children and extended families,there is an angel (Raphael), a demon, a fish, and a dog. There’s a little something for everyone - including us. Forming a Priestly People: Liturgical Formation in the Catechumenate — Lucas Pollice, M.T.S. The workshop will present the importance of liturgical formation in the RCIA catechumenate in forming participants to become active, concious participants in the liturgical life of the Church. This workshop will particularly explore practical ways to introduce catechumens and candidates to the liturgy and especially how the minor rites of the Catechumenate period forms them to become liturgical people. Also presented in Session 08 Moving from Hatched, Matched, & Dispatched...to Womb to Tomb — Linda Khirallah Porter, M.T.S. Our human journey of life is sanctified as we celebrate the sacraments. Do the order, the symbols, the rituals really make a difference? Is ongoing formation viable post sacraments? This workshop will explore seven components for reaching success with households of faith as they seek to raise their children in the faith and to grow in personal holiness not just ‘between sacraments’ but throughout their human journey. Baptism, Reconciliation, Confirmation, Eucharist, Matrimony, Holy Orders, Anointing of the Sick. 1. Believe 2. Resources 3. Consult the documents 4. Everyone called to Holiness 5. Marketing Jesus 6.

Accompanying Jesus in Eucharist Even in Busy Life — Dr. H. Anthony Chan As the church is trying hard to attract new people, she is at the same time losing many members who quit practicing each year. With the majority of Catholics not practicing in advanced countries, with the breakdown of families, and with human-caused economy problems, job insecurity and fear, a new evangelization of Eucharistic adoration finds hope in seeking Jesus in real presence, in as much as the lepers, the blind, and the lame sought Jesus in person in bible’s time. Teaching one at an early age to commit to regular visits to the Eucharist results in strong faith that one is unlikely to leave the Eucharist and the Church. To guide the Catechumen to adoration, the Catechists and sponsors need to learn and experience adoration themselves. Adoration is explained and personal experiences are shared to help one overcome barriers even in a busy life and taste the sweetness in adoration.

In this session we’ll look at specific strategies to lead wherever you serve in the Church. Sponsored by Ave Maria Press How To Start A Liturgy Committee in your Parish (and How to Improve It) — Michael R. Prendergast The Fathers at the Second Vatican Council saw the value of having a group of experts in the field of liturgy; sacred music and sacred art consult with each diocesan bishop (CSL 44-46). Likewise a parish liturgy commission can be of great service to the pastor or the pastoral administrator of a parish. Discover the role of the parish liturgy committee and its responsibility for preparing and evaluating the liturgical life of the faith community. Key to Happiness: Two Types of people, Those who are Happy and Those who are Working on It — Anna Scally Being in ministry is filled with ups and downs, How do you deal with all the challenges thrown your way? Spending time improving your own happiness will have a direct and lasting impact on your personal and professional life. Helping young people with their everyday issues will result in happier young people. This will improve the quality of your ministry. Arrive ready to laugh, be challenged and given a new direction for your ministry. Child Development and Religious Education: Speaking the Learner’s Language — Dr. Joseph D. White How can we make sure we are really reaching our learners? What steps can we take to ensure we are presenting the faith in the most engaging and understandable way possible? This workshop, presented by a clinical child psychologist and catechetical author, will focus on stages of cognitive, social, identity and moral development and their impact on developmentally-appropriate catechesis. Specific recommendations will be offered for meeting the needs of learners at every age and stage.

Our Lady of Guadalupe: Role Model of Evangelization, Perfectly Inculturated — Rev. Msgr.

Despite many obstacles, including: language and culture, there arose one of the largest conversions and without precedence in the history of the Catholic Church. What was it that happened? How is it possible that the Indians came and followed the sacraments taking long walks lasting days and months? This conversion can only be explained by the perfect way with which our Lady of Guadalupe evangelized. Also presented in Spanish in Session 10

Seven Common Mistakes Catechists Make When Teaching the Faith — Marlon De La Torre, M.A., M.Ed. This session will concentrate on seven common errors catechists make when teaching the faith and what we can do to correct them. We will walk through the journey of effectively presenting a sound catechetical plan not only in the classroom but in the catechist as well to effectively and faithfully transmit the Deposit of Faith to our students. “We Preach Christ Crucified...a Stumbling Block...and Foolishness” — Gene Giuliano, M.A. Knowing God and having an appropriately awe-filled yet intimate relationship with God is the life goal of all sincere believers. According to St. Paul, having such a relationship involves an encounter with Jesus Christ, the crucified and risen Lord. For Paul, the cross of Christ stands at the heart of his vision of God and taking the crucifixion seriously necessarily means reformulating one’s understanding of who God is and how God is most fully experienced. It means that God and the cross are inextricably interrelated; that God’s power and wisdom is found in the weakness and folly of the cross. This session reflects on the mystery of “Christ crucified” in terms of what this mystery tells us about a God who is defined by the cross and its implications for living an authentic Christian life. Solemn Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament: Planning, Preparing and Implementing in the Parish — Dr. Patricia J. Hughes What is Solemn Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament? Why/how we do this? What does Benediction have to do with Exposition? What happened to Forty Hours’ Devotion? Come discover the answers to these questions, and gain helpful assistance with planning and implementing the (usual or occasional) celebration of this devotion in your parish. Bilingual Music That Unites a Parish — Kevin Keil This session will provide both repertoire and strategies for uniting parishes that have separate english and spanish liturgies. Forming a Priestly People: Liturgical Formation in the Catechumenate — Lucas Pollice, M.T.S. Also presented in Session 06 (see description in that section)

The Catechumenate (RCIA) as Model for All Catechesis — Diana Dudoit Raiche, Ph.D. The restored catechumenate according to the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is considered the model for all catechesis. How is this possible? This session will explore why the Church makes such a bold claim and what this claim means for everyone involved in passing on the faith: pastors, deacons, parents, Catholic school teachers, high school or college campus ministers, and volunteer catechists for children, youth, and adults of all ages. Participants will be exposed to the specific elements of the catechumenate and how to recognize their absence or presence in current catechetical efforts. Bringing Scripture to Life with Children — Sandy Rigsby Are you in need of some new ideas when approaching Scripture with children? If so, then come to this workshop! We will explore how bringing Scripture to life for children can be filled with joy and enthusiasm. Focus will be on creative ideas and techniques that can be immediately used with elementary-aged children. Sponsored by Saint Mary’s Press

Intercultural Competencies — Arturo Chávez, Ph.D. A key challenge of the New Evangelization is to faithfully proclaim the Gospel so that Catholics can encounter Christ anew, especially in the sacrament of the Eucharist! In the words of Blessed Pope John Paul II, this encounter with the person of the Risen Lord is the only way to true “...conversion, communion, and solidarity in America.” Proclaiming the Gospel to all Peoples entails not only learning new languages but also acquiring intercultural competencies and skills. Dr. Chávez will provide an overview of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishop’s curriculum for ministry in today’s culturally diverse Church and Society.

Evangelization and hospitality lie at the heart of the New Evangelization and Julianne, a native of Ireland will share insight from the lives of these spiritual giants which has tremendous insight and value for our respective ministries. Consider this session a mini-pilgrimage for the word ‘pilgrim’ derives from the Latin peregrinus, meaning one who travels ‘through the land.’ Prepare to spiritually pilgrimage to sacred spaces and places in an engaging and humorous way. In this session immerse yourself in the New Evangelization through images of Ireland where you will meet St. Patrick and St. Brigid and you can still hear the echoes of ancient voices through music, art, photography and storytelling.

Both are important as that they are our external and internal ecosystems. This workshop will provide the guidelines for developing stewardship through following a 3 stage process of Encountering, Exploring and Engaging to develop an awareness and understanding of the needs of the environment and our body within a Catholic based ethic. In turn, lifestyle strategies to support both nature ecology and a human ecology will be provided.

Sacred Dialogue: Reflecting on “Preaching the Mystery of Faith” — Dr. Dan Luby The Sunday homily lies at the heart of the Church’s preaching ministry. So what’s supposed to happen when the homily is preached? How is it related to the rest of the liturgy? How does Sunday preaching speak to the joys and hopes of listeners? What’s the link between the spirituality of preachers and the message preached? What’s the assembly’s role in good preaching? These are some of the questions raised by the US bishops’ new document, “Preaching the Mystery of Faith.” This session offers an overview of the document with a view toward practical application, to help preachers share the word more effectively, and listeners to be more enriched by it. The Antichrist and the End Times: Eschatology vs. Apocalypticism and Rationalism — Dr. Christopher J. Malloy How should we interpret the biblical message about the “End Times” and the “Antichrist”? Should claim clairvoyance into the future, as though we could determine the day and hour and the kind of person or institution that will be “The Antichrist”, down to the last detail? I remember when we were schoolchildren, a group of Christians predicted the world to end at 10:50am, during our class period. We all looked out the window. Nothing happened. Should we therefore, on the other hand, claim that the biblical teachings are only mythical inventions of early Christians merely trying to express their personal experience of grace and the burden of sin? If the first extreme is Apocalypticism, the second is Rationalism. We need not fall prey to either extreme. Augustine and Newman give us a readily understandable and rich interpretation that is applicable at all times, especially near the End Times. How to Talk with Young People about God! — Dr. Robert J. McCarty The call to discipleship is a response to the Word! This session will provide participants with practical skills on how to use symbols, analogy, and metaphors in developing God talk. These skills are applicable to home, classes, youth ministry settings, and in our conversations. Further, this session will identify spiritual practices, faith skills, and rituals that enable young people to ‘talk’ about God and faith and to live out their discipleship. Let’s talk about young people and about God! Hope for Our World: What the Old Testament Teaches Us — James B. McGill, M.A. Hope can be hard to come by in our world today. Many people, including Christians, feel the “end” is near. It isn’t. The great gift of the Jews to the world is the practice of hope. The Old Testament is a book of hope. It reveals a God who continually creates the future, who gives new offers of life, who makes all things new. And often all this is experienced at the very moment when all seems lost in slavery and exile, sin and death. God loves and is faithful to what God has made: us and our world. Children’s Initiation: Are We There Yet? — Linda Khirallah Porter, M.T.S. The process for initiating children into the Catholic Church communities is challenging as we try to focus on households of faith, suitable catechesis, timing, rituals, and year round focus. This workshop will provide steps, content, documents, and statistics from parishes where this is successful in the Diocese of Tyler. End of Life Issues: Caring When You Can Not Cure — Dra. Pilar Calva-Mercado, M.D. This session will look at advanced directives for one’s family and the priest to know what to do when one is seriously ill, unconscious and cannot make decisions and the importance of the family and the priest to be near the sick person, and the palliative cares as a Ministry of Life. Dra. Calva will speak about euthanasia, overzealous treatment, ordinary means which a doctor is obliged to always give, proportionate and unproportionate means, and palliative care, as well as the living will and advanced directives. Finally, Dr. Calva will speak about the importance of priests and family for seriously ill people and what they can do.

We must go UP before we go OUT! — Elizabeth Madeo We are first joy-full disciples....then joy-filled ministers. How can our joy overflow into our parish programs? What blesses your heart? What makes your soul smile? When do you feel your best? We must not only be aware of what brings us joy, but take the time to nurture those things in our every day life. That joy will lead to a joy-full discipleship and we must be rooted in discipleship before we reach out in ministry. Let us embrace the grace and celebrate the joy of discipleship! Celebrating the Saints and Seasons Throughout the School Year — Christina Mendez Our goal as catechists is to cultivate saints in our classrooms, which is much easier when we have role models for our students to emulate. In this presentation we will discuss both the liturgical year and a number of saints, both traditional and modern, including their stories, fun activities and even foods to really celebrate the “feasts!” Sacramental Catechesis: Integral to the New Evangelization — Peter Murphy, D.Min. A vital aspect of the process of evangelizatoin is a thorough sacramental catechesis that invites Catholics to be fully and actively engaged in the sacramental life of the Church. As smaller percentages of Catholics attend Mass, get baptized and marry in the Church, etc. it becomes imparitive to offer a catechesis on the sacraments that invites Catholics to active participatoin in the life of the Church. For effective catechesis to bear fruit, contemporary challenges must be faced, honestly assessed and responded to. Elements of a sound sacramental catechesis will be discussed to assist Catholics to fully appreciate the grace of each sacrament. Finally opportunities for sacramental catechesis as moments of evangelization abound and will be discussed.

María Ayúdanos a Desatar los Nudos de Nuestra Vida — Ricardo Grzona María, la Santísima Madre de Jesús, acompañó a su Hijo en el ministerio. Pero también intercedió por nosotros. Ella, lo vemos en el Evangelio pide a Jesús por lo ocurrido en Caná y nos recuerda siempre hacer la voluntad de su Divino hijo. Vamos a presentar una devoción a nuestra Madre, la que desata los nudos que hay en nuestra vida. Presentaremos cómo nos anudamos y cuáles son los impedimentos para una vida feliz. Haremos un ejercicio de Lectio Divina con un texto mariano. La esperanza cristiana a la luz de la experiencia del migrante — Hosffman Ospino, Ph.D. Una de los regalos más hermosos que recibimos de Dios es la virtud de la esperanza cristiana. Reflexionemos teológicamente sobre esta virtud a partir de la experiencia del migrante. ¿Qué significa tener esperanza cuando se es migrante? ¿Cómo la esperanza cristiana sostiene al migrante? ¿De qué manera los migrantes son esperanza para la Iglesia en los Estados Unidos? Este taller está diseñado para personas trabajando pastoralmente con inmigrantes y aquellos interesados en explorar su propia experiencia migrante de una manera más profunda.

Cómo entender a los Niños y Jóvenes de Hoy — Luis M. Benavides La cultura infanto-juvenil emergente. El mundo digital: ¿Conectados pero, comunicados...? Redes sociales. El imperio de las sensaciones. La simulación como realidad. El mundo emocional: La sexualidad sin afectividad. El culto del cuerpo. La religión a la carta y la crisis de la cristiandad. También se presentará en la Sesión 07 La Nueva Evangelización — Rev. Jose Abelardo Cobos Gomez El año de la Fe promulgado por el emerito papa Benedicto XVI trae consigo un documento de la XIII asamblea general ordinaria del sínodo de Obispos para la “Nueva Evangelización” Este documento nos servira de punto de partida para que en esta conferencia podamos sacarle fruto a lo que ha sido a lo largo de este año el “año de la fe”. Compartiremos las preocupaciones de nuestros Obispos entendiendo lo que es “la nueva evangelización para la transmisión de la fe cristiana”: Conducir a los hombres y las mujeres de nuestro tiempo hacia Jesús, al encuentro con Él. El reto es como lograr en este tiempo tan convulcionado lleno de modernidad, la tecnologia, medios de comunicacion social etc. ser portadores de una presencia auntentica de Jesús que sale a nuestro encuentro. Compartiremos nuestra propias preocupaciones y compromisos para ser verdaderos Evangelizadores. También se presentará en la Sesión 09 Diálogo Sagrado: Reflexión sobre el documento “Predicando el Misterio de la Fe: la homilía dominical” — Dcn. Ruben Natera, M.T.S. La homilía dominical se ubica en el corazón del ministerio de la predicación de la Iglesia. Entonces, ¿qué debe ocurrir cuando se predica la homilía? ¿Cómo se relaciona con el resto de la liturgia? ¿Cómo habla la predicación dominical sobre las alegrías y las esperanzas de los oyentes? ¿Cuál es la relación entre la espiritualidad de los predicadores y la predicación? ¿Cuál es el papel de la asamblea en una buena predicación? Estas son algunas de las cuestiones planteadas por el nuevo documento de los obispos de Estados Unidos, “Predicando el misterio de la fe.” Esta sesión ofrece una visión general del documento, viendo la aplicación práctica, para ayudar a los predicadores compartir la palabra con mayor eficacia, y los oyentes a ser más enriquecidos por ella. El Maestro de Escuela Católica Como Líder de La Misa — Jaime Cortez Muchos maestros católicos se toman turno siendo líderes de la Misa de la semana junto con los estudiantes. Ven a ver ideas de cómo hacer esto con gran música y ven a ver algunos recursos que pueden ayudarte a organizar la mejor Misa posible para la asamblea y un ser la mejor cátedra para los estudiantes.

Compartir una Fe Vibrante — Sr. Gabriela Martinez, SSMN “Eres Católico o Cristiano?” “Estas salvado?” Estas preguntas siempre surgen cuando estamos hablando sobre la fe en el trabajo, o con personas que han encontrado otro camino. ¿Cuál es tu respuesta? El mundo de hoy nos reta a dar una respuesta autentica sobre nuestra fe. Estamos rodeados de anti-valores,es decir, valores no-cristianos, valores que van contra lo que nosotros como Católicos creemos y valoramos. Consideremos cuatro elementos escenciales sobre la nueva evangelización: Conversión, El Reino de Dios, Jesucristo, y la vida eterna. La jornada sacramental de la persona humana – “Desde la matriz hasta la tumba.” — Dcn. Ruben Natera, M.T.S. La jornada de la vida humana es santificada cuando celebramos los sacramentos. ¿Son verdaderamente importantes el orden, los símbolos, y los rituales? ¿Es significativo que se aplique un tipo de formación después de recibir los sacramentos? Este taller explorará siete componentes para alcanzar el éxito con las familias y hogares de fe; criando hijos en la fe y creciendo en santidad para toda la jornada de vida humana. 1) Cree en lo que estás haciendo. 2) Recursos: Procedimiento, políticas, y programas de formación. 3) Consulta los documentos: Derecho Canónico y otros documentos de la Iglesia. 4) Todo el mundo crece en santidad. 5) Promoviendo a Jesucristo. 6) El hogar es una prioridad. 7) Edad apropiada-Los candidatos para cualquier sacramento aprenden de manera distinta. Diálogo que produce éxito en grupos de trabajo — Sr. Guadalupe Ramirez, MCDP, D. Min. Los facilitadores de grupos pequeños tienen una responsabilidad de liderazgo en su comunidad cristiana que lleva acabo los programas y proyectos de evangelización. Este taller asiste a los facilitadores de grupos pequeños en desarrollando un ambiente respetuoso y colaborador para trabajar en conjunto, dando éxito a su trabajo pastoral. Soy espiritual pero no religioso! — Juan Rendon-Reyes La sesión presenta el fenómeno de los que se declaran “espirituales pero no religiosos”. El propósito de la sesión es que el participante conozca los riesgos de esta situación y que la vea como una gran oportunidad para elaborar un nueva evangelización que evangelize con “nuevo ardor, métodos y expresiones” a este creciente segmento de la población cristiana. Los Dones del Sacramento del Matrimonio: Parejas Caminando juntas en la Fe para realizar su Misión — Jake Samour, M.T.S. Dentro del Sacramento del Matrimonio cada pareja recibe dones especiales para construir el Reino de Dios. El amor que comparten los esposos es elevado a la medida del Amor Divino (Gaudium et Spes, 48), y es puesto al servicio del cónyuge, de los niños y de la comunidad en general. Durante esta presentación veremos prioridades claves a las cuales cada matrimonio está llamado a vivir en orden de realizar su misión pero más importante son prioridades que realizan sus deseos más profundos de gozo y felicidad. Consecuente, examinaremos como es que parejas líderes pueden ayudar a fortalecer a otros matrimonios al acompañarlos y caminar juntos en la Fe. Ciertamente, la misión de cada pareja, antes que nada, es formar una comunión de vida y amor dentro de su propia familia pero también esta misión incluye el ser mandado al mundo a dar testimonio a otros.

Jesús y naturaleza: Evangelización, Medio Ambiente y Reconciliación — Ricardo Simmonds, S.C.V. Cada vez mas se escucha entre los jóvenes un interés sobre temas ambientales. El Papa Benedicto XVI, en una catechesis sobre “Como hablar de Dios en nuestro tiempo?” nos dijo que los signos de los tiempos son “el deseo de autenticidad, el anhelo de trascendencia, la sensibilidad por la protección de la creación, y comunicar sin temor la respuesta que ofrece la fe en Dios” (28 de Noviembre de 2012). Esta conferencia va responder a la invitación del Papa y ofrecer herramientas, actividades y ideas practicas para la evangelización en el contexto del medio ambiente. Partiendo de la importancia de la vida spiritual y la teología de la reconciliación, se presenta una visión Católica del apostolado en el entorno natural y contexto cultural de nuestros tiempos.

Competencias Interculturales — Arturo Chávez, Ph.D. Un desafío clave de la Nueva Evangelización es proclamar fielmente el Evangelio para que los católicos puedan encontrar de nuevo a Cristo, especialmente en el sacramento de la Eucaristía. En las palabras del Beato Papa Juan Pablo II, este encuentro con la persona del Señor resucitado es el único camino que lleva a la verdadera “... conversión, comunión, y solidaridad en América”. El proclamar el Evangelio a todos los Pueblos implica no sólo el aprender idiomas nuevos sino también adquirir competencias y habilidades interculturales. El Dr. Chávez ofrecerá una visión general del programa de estudios de la Conferencia de Estados Unidos de Obispos Católicos para el ministerio en la Iglesia y Sociedad culturalmente diversas de hoy día.

No somos solamente funciones en la iglesia, somos personas dotadas y llamadas a una relación íntima con Dios. La Espiritualidad es un proceso en el cual Dios nos sigue llamando a entrar más hondo en las aguas de la gracia. En este taller consideremos las fuentes de la vida espiritual y entraremos en una meditación sobre nuestro llamamiento al ministerio.

In all my years, the only time the laying on of hands has felt right to me was at my ordination to the priesthood 35 years ago. Otherwise, it seems this ancient church tradition — meant to extend the power of grace and healing — has been reserved to gentle taps on the head, hand, or shoulders; or to the stilted extension of arms toward people being blessed among or in front of the assembly. But the meaning of this tradition, clear from its name, is that it is handed on, hands-on! Over the years, I have wondered what this gesture called forth from me as a presider and how it is to be applied in the assembly. A number of years ago, following the baptism of children within the Sunday eucharistic assembly, after the closing prayer, I would assemble the parents and their newly baptized young ones up in the sanctuary for a silent gesture of blessing through the laying on of hands. Calling forth some “elders” from the assembly (e.g. parish councilors, catechists, trustees), I asked them to join me in the silent act of the imposition of hands upon the newly initiated and their parents. Afterward, it occurred to me that the laying on of hands became a sign of its effect upon those touched. They have now been enrolled, incorporated, into our churchly tradition. That was well and good until I found myself at my next pastoral placement, where the assembly desired a fuller part in the celebration of all our sacraments within the Sunday Eucharist. Now, not just a few elders but all members, by virtue of the “elder” designation attained by their own reception of the sacraments, came forward following the closing prayer to extend their blessing, to “pass on the faith,” so to speak, to the parents and their new initiates. We do the

Gregory the Great, pope and doctor of the church You must hold fast to faith, be firmly grounded and steadfast in it, unshaken in the hope promised you. What a wonderful and insightful passage for today, a time mired in cynicism and doubt, a time plagued by wars and natural disasters. These are the times that try our faith and can shatter our hope. Paul was writing these words of encouragement from prison, jailed for his beliefs. By comparison, we have suffered little for our beliefs, but his words can still lift us up and move us toward a life worthy of a follower of Christ. Through the intercession of St. Gregory, we ask to be firmly grounded and steadfast in our faith. O Lord, for a deepening of our faith and hope, we pray. PC

CELEBRATION: A Comprehensive Worship Resource

CelebrationPublications.org The Lectionary provides a kind of spiritual script for the universal church that keeps us, literally, all on the same page as we journey through the liturgical seasons. These short reflections, written by four authors who meet regularly to share the readings, are intended to help daily preachers and others who pray from the assigned scriptures each day to orient themselves to the Living Word addressed to the church in the world. Authors are identified by their initials, with short bios provided on the last page.

Twenty-Third Week in Ordinary Time Mon., Sept. 5: Col 1:24–2:3; Luke 6:6-11 For this I labor and struggle, in accord with the exercise of his power working within me. Labor Day is a good time to take stock and determine if we are doing the work we are called to do. For many, this true work changes as life’s circumstances change — when we have children, when they grow older, when we grow older. In the Gospel we hear that when Jesus did his true work, he threatened the establishment. What was this true work? He healed on the Sabbath. Sometimes our true work involves stepping out of the box, risking material comforts for a life well-spent. But if we are so blest on our deathbed that we may look back on a well-spent life — won’t that be reward enough? For worthy work in service of you, Lord, we pray. PBS

Tues., Sept. 6: Col 2:6-15; Luke 6:12-19 See to it that no one captivates you with an empty, seductive philosophy according to human tradition. St. Paul was writing to the Christians at Colossae about paganism. What are the empty and seductive philosophies of our day? They are legion. What pain it is to love someone who is enthralled by what seems wrong,
