Welcome Letter

October 2012 Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, It is our great joy to welcome you to the sixth annual University of Dallas Ministry Conference, which is co-sponsored by the university, the Diocese of Dallas and the Diocese of Fort Worth! We hope that by Walking Together in Faith over these two days, you will have a blessed, faith-filled, and formative experience as you attend the sessions, come together in prayer, visit the exhibitors and sponsoring organizations, and enjoy liturgical artwork and musical performances. As we begin the Year of Faith, it is more important than ever that we do all we can to enrich and deepen our faith lives to better become disciples of Christ in our communities. The University of Dallas Ministry Conference offers Catholics an opportunity to receive exceptional faith formation from nationally recognized speakers who will address relevant topics in faith, catechesis, education, theology, prayer and ministry. We are confident that the information offered at this conference will help each of us to live more fully our communion of faith and to become even more effective ministers to those whom the Lord has entrusted to our care. 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 Most Rev. Kevin W. Vann, J.C.D., D.D. Bishop, Diocese of Fort Worth Thomas W. Keefe, J.D. President, University of Dallas

General Information

Cell Phones/Pagers Out of respect for the speakers and other participants, please turn off your cell phones and pagers during the sessions and liturgies. Emergencies If you have an emergency, contact either a UDMC staff member, volunteer, or the closest ICC staff. If you are unable to find assistance, call facility dispatch at 972-401-7793. Remember, in an emergency, it is important to stay calm. We do have EMTs onsite for this event. Evaluations This year, we are asking all participants to complete a general evaluation of the conference, where you will also be asked to evaluate the sessions you attended (you will need the session numbers to complete the form properly). You can either complete a paper version, which can be found in the centerfold of this program book, or you can complete the evaluation online at www.udallas.edu/udmc/evaluation. Also look for QR codes with direct links to this evaluation throughout the ICC. The first 500 people each day to submit a completed evaluation (either online or paper) at the evaluation kiosk in the main lobby on the Exhibit Hall Level (1st Floor) will receive a UDMC pen as a thank you. Encourage your co-workers to complete the evaluation as well! The Parish or School Group that has the highest percentage of evaluations submitted by Friday, November 2 at 11:59 PM CST will receive 20 complimentary registrations to the 2013 UD Ministry Conference. 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. Once you have all of the boxes initialed, submit this card at the Evaluation Kiosk just outside Hall A to be eligible to win 1 of 2 $50 Amazon.com gift cards. Don’t forget to include your contact information on the Passport card! Information Please see someone at the UDMC Registration Booths in the lobby of the Exhibit Hall Level (1st Floor) or at the UDMC Information Booth in the lobby of the Meeting Room Level (3rd Floor) for general information or questions. You can also ask a volunteer found throughout the center in blue UDMC shirts with “Ask Me” signs.

Irving/Las Colinas If you would like more information about the Irving/Las Colinas area, including restaurants and transportation options, please visit the Concierge Desk located in the lobby of the Exhibit Hall Level (1st Floor) next to the elevators, where a member of the Irving Visitors Bureau would be happy to assist you. Lost and Found Lost and found is located at the UDMC Information Booth located in the lobby of the Meeting Room Level (3rd Floor). If you find something while you are attending the conference, please turn it in at this location. Meal Options Food and beverage is not included in the registration fee. You will find several concession and food areas around the convention center, especially in the Café on the 2nd Floor, in the Exhibit Hall, and in the lobby of the Exhibit Hall Level (1st Floor). There are also several restaurants within walking and driving distance of the ICC. See the Concierge Desk located in the lobby of the Exhibit Hall Level (1st Floor) next to the elevators for more information. Name Badges Please wear your name badge at all times while at the conference. This is your ticket into all of the sessions, musical performances, and the exhibit hall. If you forget or lose your name badge, we will print a new one at the Registration Booths for a $5.00 cash replacement fee. We would appreciate it if you recycled your badge holder after the conference. Simply place your plastic holder in the designated boxes as you leave the convention center. Thank you!

The Cross and Crucifixion in Christian Art Description of the Display by Novinski Studios The oldest of Christian symbol is the cross form, used in many ways for the first five centuries before the Cross and Corpus were united in what we have come to know as the Crucifix. The exhibit of photos of historic examples traces this passage in time from the decorated crosses, symbolizing the Resurrection, the glorious cross of victory over death, to the developed image of the suffering body at the Crucifixion. The act of redemption can be viewed as Christ’s self-giving sacrifice and/or as the painful execution inviting our identification with the suffering body of the Incarnate God. 13

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 25 School Board Session | 7:00 - 9:00 pm SB-01 Generate Connectivity: Communication Tactics, Tips and Tools for Catholic Education Boards and Councils Regina Haney, Ed.D. GB 1-3 (4th) This session will help boards ensure that their board is communicating effectively and strategically with key constituencies — and, in the process, creating the connectivity that’s essential to ensure that the school(s) thrive. Points covered will include: 1) Engage board members in communication and outreach as ambassadors and advocates, 2) Tips for communicating before, during, after and between board meetings, 3) Plan for crisis communication, 4) The role of social media in strategic communication, and 5) Communication that will identify great potential members and persuade them to serve. This workshop is specifically for School Board & Advisory Council Members

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 26 Session I | 9:15 - 10:15 am I-01 “I Was a Stranger, and You Welcomed Me”  His Eminence Roger Cardinal Mahony Hall A (1st) Cardinal Mahony will explore the Biblical roots for our approach to migration and immigration, will offer a survey of the four waves of American immigration, will give the Church’s constant teachings on immigrants, and will give a forecast of future worker needs in our country as baby boomers retire.

Session II | 10:45 - 11:45 am II-01 A Place for All - Part One: From Judgment to Curiosity  John Barone Hall A (1st) Behavior management in the classroom is more challenging than it’s ever been. Teachers expend so much energy trying to meet the diverse needs of all the students that they often go home feeling exhausted and discouraged. In this workshop, we’ll explore beliefs and methodology which will empower teachers to see and treat their students in a different way, taking on the role of ally rather than opponent, and dealing with “misbehavior” from a developmental perspective, coaching students toward taking more ownership of their learning and development. This will result in a more peaceful classroom, more learning, and teachers who go home feeling fulfilled rather than exhausted! In addition, you will learn: 1) How 16

to view “misbehavior” with curiosity rather the judgment, 2) How to “catch kids being good,” and 3) How to react to students who behave in unexpected or undesirable ways. This workshop may be taken alone or in sequence with the other “A Place for All” offerings. II-02 Celebrating the Year of Faith with Middle School Youth: Fun, Frustrating or Fascinating?!  Mary Lee Becker, M.P.M. MR 6 (3rd) What motivates young adolescents (5th-9th grade)? What might keep them interested and engaged in church? How can we both teach the right things (content) AND teach things right (methods)? Discover the keys that unlock the mystery of middle school, and practical tips and tools that help “bring faith to life” using any curriculum! Also being presented in Session VIII II-03 Gifted and Thriving: Helping Gifted Learners Flourish Across the Lifespan Janette K. Boazman, Ph.D. GB 7 (4th) What is it we want for children and adolescents in our schools? At the foundational level, we desire health, happiness, and good schools with good teachers for all children. We want all children, regardless of ability, to be in programs that appropriately address their educational needs. We desire places where young individuals can develop their natural abilities, and form and maintain good and lasting friendships. We want each student to be successful, academically and personally, and to move toward happiness, thriving, and a good life (Sayler & Boazman, 2006). For the gifted, the development of natural abilities, personal wellbeing, and happiness often manifests differently than it does for students with normal ability. This session discusses the theoretical Model of Giftedness and Thriving (Sayler, 2010), nature and needs of gifted individuals, and how educators can help gifted students thrive and flourish. II-04 Bananas for Apps! Using the iPad and iPod with Young Children Heidi Butkus GB 1-3 (4th) Come hear about some great ways to use both the iPad and the iPod with young children in your classroom! Explore lots of new apps and discover some new ways to use these wonderful devices that you may not have considered before! Grade Levels: PK - 1 II-05 Sharing Faith Messages that Stick with Youth  Tom East GB 6 (4th) How can we make faith “sticky” or “pegajosa” in the lives on our young people? How can we share faith with them in a way that the beliefs and practices become a way of life? This practical workshop shares research about what helps messages to be believed, understood and acted upon. This will also include sharing practices of

Session Descriptions parishes, dynamic resources and easy-to-use ideas. II-06 Recruiting and Sustaining Volunteers  Ann Marie Eckert MR 9 (3rd) This workshop will help participants understand their role in helping parishioners answer their baptismal call to use their gifts and time in service to their parish community. Participants will explore the ways that parishes can do a better job of recruiting volunteers so they are asking volunteers to use their gifts in service to others, and strategies for sustaining them in their volunteer service so that it is life-giving for all.

II-08 Sports Done Right: Athletics as Ministry  Greg Dobie Moser, D.Min. JB C-D (3rd) Student athletes play, coaches teach, officials officiate, and parents support. How can you make this the norm in your athletic program so that your sports program represents the best of your school’s mission and values? Discover how coaches, athletes, and parents can form powerful partnerships. Come and see! II-09 Renewing the Priestly Heart  Sr. Honora Nolty, OP MR 3 (3rd) This workshop will present the process and content of RENEWING THE PRIESTLY HEART, a new resource for priests. The workshops will include an opportunity to experience an abbreviated session and hear how the process works in a variety of settings. The goal of this resource is to re-energize current priest support groups and establish new groups. II-10 Standing In the In Between  Jo Ann Paradise, D.Min. MR 7 (3rd) Do you find the joy of being a catechetical leader or pastoral associate sometimes overshadowed by conflict and frustration? Do you find yourself

II-11 Year Round Catechumenate: a Blessing Without Number  Michael R. Prendergast, M.T.S., M.A. GB 4-5 (4th) The premise for a year round catechumenate is found in three guiding principles: “The initiation of catechumens is a gradual process that takes place within the community of the faithful...suited to the spiritual journey of adults that varies according to the many forms of God’s grace” (RCIA, 4-5). Inquirers approach Catholic faith communities throughout the year, whenever the Spirit prompts them. This is not limited to the academic year nor to a nine-month model of catechesis. Finally, as initiating communities, we are called to accompany each inquirer on a journey of faith which works in God’s time and with God’s grace. It takes a lifetime to become a disciple of Christ and to appreciate the Catholic Tradition. Come and explore ways to implement a year round catechumenate in your faith community. Also being presented in Session XI II-12 Shepherds on the Edge  Anna Scally MR 8 (3rd) Taking care of the needs of those you minister to is rewarding and challenging. The image of the shepherd looking over, protecting and guiding the flock is comforting, especially when people’s circumstances make them long for reassurance of being taking care of. Original shepherds were on the edge of society, while trying to do their work. At this workshop, learn ways to improve your skills to make a significant difference to those you are ministering to. Enjoy great stories, music, and practical tips. II-13 Catechetical Methodology: Catechesis that Changes Hearts  Scott Sollom, M.A. JB A-B (3rd) God is the Divine Teacher. His methodology forms the template for our own catechesis. This workshop will look at ways to model God’s methodology of revelation, grace, and response of faith, in a way that inspires people to grow in faith, hope and charity. II-14 O Lay Christians: Did You Ever Think of Yourselves as Radically Different Kinds of People?  Rev. Msgr. Peter J. Vaghi, J.D. GB 8 (4th) One of the major themes of the Second Vatican Council, in fact, one of the leitmotifs of the entire Council and the implemented Catechism is the “universal call to holiness.” This call applies to the clergy and each and every baptized person alike. 17

SESSIONS & OTHER EVENTS

II-07 Marriage as a Sign of the Covenant, and the Covenant as the Model for Marriage  Mark Lowery, Ph.D. MR 1 (3rd) 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 as 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.

caught between the ideal and the real, the way things should be in parish ministry and the way things are? This workshop will help you to gain insight and develop strategies for standing in that sacred place that bridges what actually is and all that could be.

Session Descriptions This workshop is designed to help explain how this essential theme of Vatican Council II applies to the life and the challenges of the lay faithful.

Session III | 12:15 - 1:15 pm III-01 Diaconal Ministry in the Marketplace: Maintaining a Healthy Balance  Deacon Frank Ashley, Ed.D. MR 3 (3rd) During the five years of formation for the diaconate, we were constantly reminded about the delicate balance that must occur between our ministry to the diaconate and our obligations to our family through the sacrament of marriage. There were the horror stories of men who had put their ministry before their families and the drastic results of those choices. Another delicate balance is the one between a career or job and ministry. It has often been said that the deacon has one foot in the sacred world and one foot in the secular world, with both worlds tugging at him very hard. It can be tough trying to balance a successful career with a successful ministry, and maintaining a healthy balance can be challenging. This presentation will discuss strategies for maintaining this healthy balance in order for deacons to live out the vows of their ordination and also fulfill their responsibility to their families and employer. III-02 Assessment Strategies: Getting the Right Answer Julie Brunet & Renée McAlister GB 1-3 (4th) Effective assessment enables teachers to know where their students are in relationship to where teachers would like them to be. Creative ways of assessing students, using both authentic and performance assessment, will be illustrated. How and when to use different forms of assessment will be discussed. Attendees will become active participants as they experience various forms of assessment, learn about documentation, and participate in creating intervention strategies for students. III-03 God Loves Me! Calling Children to Faith through Song  John Burland JB A-B (3rd) How can we share the great news that God loves us with the children in our care? What are some creative and practical ideas for passing on the riches of our Catholic faith tradition? Incorporating song and movement, this workshop will offer a variety of age appropriate activities suitable for children at the elementary level. Catechetical themes such as revelation, Trinity, Jesus Christ, Church, morality, God’s kingdom, sacraments and justice will be addressed during this session. Come ready to raise your voice in song as we celebrate our Catholic faith!

III-04 Favorite MultiSensory Tips and Tricks for Phonemic Awareness and Sounding Out Words Heidi Butkus GB 4-5 (4th) You don’t have to sit still to learn! Come learn some teacher-tested and child-friendly tips and tricks for getting kids started developing phonemic awareness and sounding out words through movement. We’ll also learn a few short songs to help kids along the way with these concepts. This session is jam packed with ideas that can help you channel your students’ excess energy into a useful learning tool to help turn your little ones into readers. Grade Levels: K - 1 III-05 Using Mentor Texts to Inspire Writing: Literature in the Writing Process Melissa Caraway, Ph.D. MR 6 (3rd) Research tells us that K-12 students need strong models for writing success. This session explores ways to use good literature as mentor texts to improve the quality of student writing as a part of the writing process. Examples will be shared; participants will write, students can “read like a writer” to strengthen their writing. Bring your pencil or pen! III-06 Praying with Children Through the Liturgical Year Sandra Dooley MR 7 (3rd) How do we pray with the children in our classes? This presentation will offer ideas, principles, guidelines and resources for prayer with children in classroom settings. III-07 Science and Faith in Catholic High Schools: How to Bridge the Divide Todd Gruninger, Ph.D., John M. Norris, Ph.D., & Stephen Pitts, SJ GB 6 (4th) A panel discussion, with Dr. John Norris, theology professor at the University of Dallas, Dr. Todd Gruninger, biology teacher at Jesuit Catholic Prep in Dallas, and Stephen Pitts, mathematics teacher at Jesuit, about the difficulties faced by both theology faculty and science faculty in discussing matters of science and faith, especially evolution. The panel will address major concerns, how to approach them at an age appropriate level for high school students, and resources for faculty in both theology and the sciences. III-08 The Year of Faith: Pope Benedict’s Blueprint for the New Evangelization  Lucas Pollice, M.T.S. GB 7 (4th) In his Apostolic Letter Porta Fidei, Pope Benedict called for a Year of Faith to be celebrated throughout the Universal Church. This presentation will explore how the Holy Father presents to the Church a blueprint for the New Evangelization, as envisioned by the Second Vatican Council, based upon three foundational pillars: Doctrinal Awareness, Spiritual Renewal, and Evangelization and Witness. The

Session Descriptions workshop will explore why these three pillars of formation and renewal are so important for the New Evangelization, and how these can be implemented effectively at every level of catechesis and ministry in order to usher in the New Evangelization.

Session IV | 1:30 - 2:30 pm

IV-02 A Place for All - Part Two: Classroom Communication  John Barone Hall A (1st) This workshop may be taken alone or in sequence with the other “A Place for All” offerings. How many times have you experienced the following scene: you tell the students, “Please take out your textbook and turn to page 45.” Immediately after that you hear a chorus of students asking, “What page? What page?” In this workshop, you’ll discover simple but dramatic ways to improve communication and understanding in the classroom, including how to give effective instructions, how to check for understanding and how to improve retention. In addition, you will learn: 1) The two questions a good teacher never asks, 2) How to increase student retention by decreasing teacher talk, and 3) How courtesy can be kryptonite. IV-03 From Pulling Hair to Quiet Prayer: Tips for Classroom Management and Discipline Steven Ellair GB 7 (4th) This lively and practical workshop will explore effective ways to handle classroom discipline situations and reveal successful classroom management strategies. Focus will be on preventative measures and positive solutions. If you’ve ever had “one of those days” in the classroom, then this workshop is for you! IV-04 Catholic Spirituality and Conversion in the Pre-Catechumenate Magdalena Gutierrez MR 3 (3rd) The first stage of the catechumenal process is to proclaim the Gospel and to call people to faith in Christ and a life of ongoing conversion. The participants of this session will explore practical ideas to teach the basic elements of a life of ongoing conversion to Christ and the initial steps

IV-05 Saints for Slackers, Seekers, & Sinners: Companions for the Year of Faith  Lisa M. Hendey GB 8 (4th) Journey into deeper relationship with saintly role models for our “wired” and ever more complex and busy age. In his writings for the Year of Faith, William Cardinal Levada has stated, “The Saints and the Blessed are authentic witnesses of the faith” and has called us to come to know them by all means, including use of social media. We will examine the lives and lessons of well known, little known and newly canonized and beatified Saints and Blesseds and look at how to bring their lessons to life for those we serve. IV-06 The Co-Responsible Parish: Benchmarks For Vitality Marti R. Jewell, D.Min. MR 6 (3rd) How pastoral leaders are providing leadership in today’s parishes is one of the findings of the Emerging Models of Pastoral Leadership Project. Chief among the benchmarks for healthy parishes is the development of “total ministering communities” in which pastors, staff, and parishioners each provide essential, needed, and unique leadership for the parish. We will discuss the role of discipleship and the leadership styles that best serve parish life today. IV-07

The Creed James B. McGill, M.A. GB 6 (4th) This presentation will review the historical development of the Nicene Creed and examine its theological content. While proclaimed by many, the creed is understood by few. We will address this problem by seeing how the creed develops the experience and convictions of the Old and New Testaments, serves as the basic faith identity of the Church, and stands as an important part of the sacred liturgy. The creed is not a list of dry statements, but a living text that contains the core teachings of the Church and lays the foundation for further theological reflection. As Luke Timothy Johnson says about the Sunday recitation of the creed, “The creed helps create each week an actively committed people prepared to enter together into the mystery that shapes and nourishes its common life.”



IV-08 The Beginning and the End  Dr. Richard Olenick, Ph.D. GB 1-3 (4th) How do astronomical observations of the universe and physical theories describe the beginning of the universe? What roles does the newly discovered Higgs boson play? How do we understand the evolution of the universe in light of modern discoveries? How do current models of the beginning and end interlace with Catholic teachings? These questions will be addressed in this overview of current ideas on the universe. Also happening this session… Resource Spotlights – see page 14 19

in the process of embracing a Catholic way of life.

Session Descriptions Session V | 3:00 - 4:00 pm V-01 A Place for All - Part Three: Getting and Keeping Attention  John Barone GB 7 (4th) Ever get caught daydreaming in class when you were a kid, only to have a teacher abruptly correct you, call your name loudly, or try to be funny by saying something like “Earth to Johnny!” Not the most respectful ways of helping you come to attention. With attention differences on the rise, it’s crucial that teachers improve their skills at keeping all of their students focused and connected to the lesson in respectful and supportive ways. In this workshop, you will learn how to get and keep attention using a variety of tools which don’t embarrass students, including the use of a soother station, classroom signals and creating a non-distracting environment. In addition, you will learn: 1) How giving students choices can improve their focusing ability, 2) How to help students take responsibility for their own attention differences, and 3) How it feels to be in a classroom with AD/HD brain, and ways to make it better. This workshop may be taken alone or in sequence with the other “A Place for All” offerings. V-02

onfirmation: Sacrament of C “Initiation” or “Graduation?”  Mary Lee Becker, M.P.M. MR 8 (3rd) How might we assure that Confirmation is a celebration of “initiation” not a rite of “exit?” How can we blend and balance education, formation, and service so that young people become more fully engaged as Catholic disciples filled with the Spirit on a lifelong mission of faith? What is the role of parents, family, the parish community and Catholic schools? We will explore key elements and diverse approaches to sacramental preparation for adolescents and families, and together discover practical tips and tools that can strengthen the experience of Confirmation during adolescence. Also being presented in Session XI V-03 How to Get Through the Bible in an Hour!  John Bergsma, Ph.D., Th.M.,M.Div. MR 2 (3rd) Dr. Bergsma teaches a method of summarizing biblical history from Genesis to Revelation in about an hour, helping students get “the big picture” so often lost in Biblical study. Easy to replicate in your own teaching environment, this method works well as a stand-alone presentation or as an overview at the start of a course on Scripture or a summary at the end, and can be expanded over 3, 7, 14 or more class sessions.

V-04

Musical Math Plus Manipulatives Heidi Butkus GB 1-3 (4th) Math, manipulatives, and music just go together! Come see some great games and manipulative based activities that kids love and which help them learn basic math concepts. Then get up and learn some fun songs and movements that will help your children rehearse the language and remember the concepts that were presented. These concepts include: sorting, patterning, comparing sets, coin recognition, skip counting, volume shape identification, addition, and subtraction. Grade Levels: K - 1 V-05 Remember to Keep Holy the Sabbath  Ann Marie Eckert MR 1 (3rd) It is probable that “Keep Holy the Sabbath” is the Commandment that is most often broken by Church ministers! Sabbath is essential and lifegiving. It is an opportunity to find balance and be restored. This workshop will provide participants an opportunity to look at their own practice of Sabbath (more than going to church on Sunday) and find ways to honor the rest and restoration that they need. V-06 Celebrating the Sacrament of Reconciliation for the First Time: How and WOW Patricia J. Hughes, D.Min GB 8 (4th) Planning and implementing a communal penance service with individual reconciliation is a challenge in more ways than one: knowing important catechetical information, catechizing whom (children? parents?), demystifying and debunking the myths surrounding “confession” (which is only the telling of sin), setting up the environment for reception of the sacrament, choosing accessible and appropriate music. Come and discover how to approach the celebration of this often-neglected source of amazing grace—for your parish children, their families, and the entire community. The “Wow Factor” for children will leave them wanting more (grace), and the “How Factor” provides a template for planning the liturgy with prayer and music. Pastors, catechetical leaders, RCIC planners, and musicians—come and find liturgical support for revitalizing your sacramental program for First Reconciliation. V-07 Catholic and American  Thomas W. Jodziewicz, Ph.D. MR 5 (3rd) Since the colonial period of American history, the relationship of Catholic and American has often been problematic. In its simplest narrative form, some considerations of self-conscious American political and ideological foundations have suggested an enduring Roman Catholic incompatibility with an American ethos, open and skeptical, progressive and experimental. How, for example, can a celebration of individual freedom and the persisting pursuit for self-autonomy and, more recently, one’s own truth, co-exist with a

Session Descriptions faith equally self-conscious of its own tradition of hierarchical and authoritative leadership, claim to universal truth, and the embrace of a universal natural law? The fundamental issue of Catholic and American remains with us today and can be traced through several historical examples since the 17th century.

V-09 Music and the Liturgy: Everyone Has a Role to Play Peter M. Kolar JB A-B (3rd) The Church envisions our celebrations to be alive with vibrant participation, but this vision can only be fulfilled if everyone sings — not just the choir. The gathered church at prayer has a right and duty to sing God’s praises through sung liturgy, from the presider to the assembly. This session explores how music is integral to the Mass, and offers practical ways for assemblies to “find their voice.” V-10 Virtue-Based Restorative Discipline™ A Catholic Response to Bullying  Lynne Lang Hall A (1st) Bullying is a confusing label that causes mistrust and division in schools and communities. Zero tolerance policies and legislation have replaced compassion and empathy in handling the verbal, physical, emotional and cyber abuses that plague society. Participants will learn strategies to address bullying through the lens of Catholic identity, and about the successful pilot study for Virtue-Based Restorative Discipline™ (VBRD™). This new evidence-based initiative began in St. Louis, Missouri in 2010, and has quickly gained

V-11 Self Esteem: Making Champions of our Young People  Robert McCarty, D.Min. GB 4-5 (4th) Parents, youth ministers, and educators are challenged to foster young people’s sense of being lovable and capable, which are the core of healthy self esteem. This session will provide practical skills and strategies for enhancing our teens’ self image – even during that explosion called adolescence! V-12 Responding to Reading: Beyond Answering Questions Melissa Caraway, Ph.D. GB 6 (3rd) This session will explore ways that writing can support students’ reading of fiction and nonfiction across the content areas. Sample text sets and student work will be used to explore the possibilities of reader response. V-13 What Does the Catholic Church Teach about Assisted Reproductive Technology?  Angelique Ruhi-López & Carmen Santamaría, J.D. MR 9 (3rd) A common misconception is that the Catholic Church says “NO” to most reproductive technologies, when in fact, the Church says “YES” both to some reproductive technologies and to a way of healing the underlying causes of infertility that uphold the dignity of the couple and the child they are hoping to conceive. The session will elaborate on what the Church teachs with regard to insemination, in vitro fertilization, surrogacy, embryo adoption, and more. By explaining the USSCB’s rule of thumb for licit reproductive technologies and describing the Catholic treatment alternatives, this session will offer a clear understanding of Church teaching on these bioethical issues.

Session VI | 4:30 - 5:30 pm VI-01 Weaving Together a Culturally Diverse Church  Alejandro Aguilera-Titus JB A-B (3rd) How do we build unity in diversity? Come and see how a strong Catholic identity leads the faithful from different cultures and ethnicities to develop a sense of belonging to the Church, and a sense of ownership on its evangelizing mission. VI-02 The Bullying Crisis: Real Solutions, Shared Values, Lasting Success  John Barone Hall A (1st) These days, you can’t seem to pick up a newspaper or watch the news on television without finding another story about a tragic end to a 21

V-08 Data-Driven Instruction: A Powerful Paradigm to Drive Academic Excellence in Catholic Schools  Barbara Khirallah, M.Ed., ABD JB C-D (3rd) Data-driven instruction is often discussed but rarely understood. Some educators believe that data-driven schools are simply “teaching to the test” or conforming to diocesan mandates. This session shall attempt to present a clear case for embracing data-driven instruction in our Catholic schools. By shifting the focus from identifying “what was taught” to routinely collecting and analyzing data to determine “what was actually learned,” teachers and principals can select focused actions aimed at increasing individual student achievement. Come and learn the fundamental principles of effective datadriven instruction. Find out what teachers and administrators can do to create a culture where data-driven instruction thrives, where teachers improve teaching by focusing on what students most need, and where students learn what they most need to succeed. Real stories – as well as research about real schools that have achieved dramatic results – will be presented. Handouts with examples, tools, and references will be distributed.

popularity, with more than 30 schools currently implementing VBRD™. Learn strategies that can provide hope for schools struggling with sagging enrollment and experiencing a hunger for divine kindness and peace-filled classrooms. Also being presented in Session X

Session Descriptions situation which involved bullying. Parents and educators are concerned, and rightly so, but many are unsure of how to respond to this overwhelming problem. In this workshop, we will explore the issue of bullying by defining the problem, sharing ways to create a “culture of conciliation” and learning how to reduce the incidences of bullying in your school and community. In addition, you will learn: 1) How to build consensus on core values and discuss ways to empower students to live out, act on and defend those values within the community, 2) How to use the powerful tool of peer mediation, and how young people can take ownership and support each other in resolving their misunderstandings and conflicts, 3) How student-driven relationship repair and community restitution are positive alternatives to adult-driven, punitive discipline. VI-03 God Created Us in God’s Image and We Have Returned the Favor: Our Response to the Mystery of God  Gene Giuliano, M.A. GB 7 (4th) The testimony of Scripture, the witness of the Church, and the revelation of God in Jesus Christ shouts for all to hear that God is the mystery that is present and dwells among us, yet is totally elusive and unknowable. Consequently, our experiences of God can sometimes leave us confused and uncertain. We might feel that we could do a better job of being God. After all, the God we have allows too much evil, is absent when we need God most, and tests us with a world filled with suffering, deceit, hatred, and violence. This session explores the mystery and “hiddenness” of God and its meaning for our lives. Are we brave enough to face our human limitations, smash our graven images, let go of self-imposed absolutes that enslave us, and yearn for a God who is totally free and totally beyond all that makes up our life, but is still the center of it all? VI-04 Walking in Beauty: Mystagogy as a Lifestyle  Dan Luby, S.T.D. MR 6 (3rd) “Mystagogy” – Is it a hidden island near Djakarta? A rare mineral? A painful skin condition? While it is none of these things, “mystagogy” is a term guaranteed to baffle most rank and file Catholics. Even many RCIA specialists find it difficult to explain, and harder still to practice. Using the ritual text of the RCIA, this session offers an overview of mystagogy, and then invites reflection and dialogue on its implications for all parishioners, regardless of how long they’ve been Catholic. Participants will leave with new perspectives on how this mysterious and beautiful reality can become a way of life which deepens our experience of faith.

VI-05 Utopia or Reality? Building Unity in the Classroom, Parish, and Beyond  Dr. Thomas Masters MR 3 (3rd) Chiara Lubich, founder of the Focolare Movement, claimed that “every authentic educational approach includes a utopian thrust; that is, a guiding principle which stimulates people to build together a world which is not yet a reality, but ought to be.” The “guiding principle” I will describe is her “Art of Loving,” which is practiced and made real through the “Cube of Love.” The Cube is a simple yet effective teaching tool that has helped transform rule-based school systems and been used in parishes, families, and communities to generate a positive culture of relationships based on Gospel values. This talk will inspire you with renewed hope through examples of people living the Gospel in real-life situations. I will explain the Cube’s faith-based principles, provide examples of how students, teachers, DREs, parents, coaches and administrators have used the Cube, and lead you through a quick demonstration of how to implement the Cube in your classroom, family, or parish. Also being presented in Session IX VI-06 Vatican II: The Great Grace and Sure Compass for the Church of the Third Millennium  Lucas Pollice, M.T.S. GB 4-5 (4th) Blessed Pope John Paul II called the Second Vatican Council “a great grace bestowed upon the Church in the twentieth century: there we find a sure compass by which to take our bearings in the century now beginning.” This workshop will explore how Vatican II was not a rupture from the Church’s doctrine and Tradition, but rather was a call to an enrichment of faith, holiness, and authentic renewal in order that all members of the Church may more effectively witness Christ to the modern world. The workshop will highlight the main themes and documents of the Council and how these serve as our guide and compass as the Church moves into the Third Millennium and implements the New Evangelization. Also being presented in Session VIII VI-07 What Does it Mean to be a Liturgical Parish?  Michael R. Prendergast, M.T.S., M.A. MR 9 (3rd) Liturgy is at the heart of parish life. We answer the call to love God through prayer, worship and service to others. At the heart of liturgical celebrations is the paschal mystery of Jesus Christ. Explore what it means to be a liturgical parish, one that keeps the liturgical year, celebrates the Liturgy of the Hours, the Eucharist and the other sacraments, and that draw people into full, conscious and active participation in both liturgy and life. Also being presented in Session VIII

VI-09 The Charism of the Sacrament of Marriage: Couples Walking Together in Faith to Fulfill Their Mission  Jake Samour, M.T.S. MR 8 (3rd) Through the sacramental bond of marriage each couple places themselves within the mission of the Church to build up the Kingdom of God. This ecclesial mission exists through a special charism of the sacrament of marriage and becomes a kind of consecration in Christ. In other words, “Human love is taken up into Divine Love” (Gaudium et Spes, 48), and is put at the service of a greater love: Love of God and love of human kind in Christ. During this presentation, we will unpack how this mission contributes and edifies the nuptial body of Christ, the Church which is rooted in the sacramental bond of marriage and lived within the ecclesial community. Certainly, this mission is both to form a communion of life and love and to be sent into the world. We will also explore how these two tasks are lived simultaneously and more importantly how they correspond to the deepest desires of each spouse. VI-10

How to Go from Good to Great! Joyce Springer GB 8 (4th) You are probably good at what you do as a catechist, whether in a Catholic school or in a parish catechetical program. This workshop will take you to the next level -- from good to great -- by demonstrating hands-on participative activities that can be incorporated into your Religion classes. The activities are appropriate for grades K-8 for either Catholic school or parish catechetical students. VI-11 Integration vs. Separation: Connecting Young Adults with the Faith Community  Joan C. Weber MR 1 (3rd) This workshop will engage participants in developing strategies to make their parishes more young adult responsive. We will explore ways of inviting young adults into leadership in parish life,

liturgy, justice and service, and youth ministry. We will also examine methods of reaching out to young adults, learning what the parish can do to meet their needs, and making adult faith formation more relevant to their everyday lives.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 27 Session VII| 9:15 - 10:15 am VII-01 Awakening the Mission Spirit in America!  Rev. Jack Wall Hall A (1st) Rev. John J. Wall is President of Catholic Extension, the national Catholic organization committed to building and strengthening the Catholic faith in America’s poorest regions. Inspired by personally witnessing the transformative power of faith in very poor Catholic communities across our country, Father Wall is calling on us to awaken a new mission spirit in our Church. “The Church is not a member-centered institution,” he states, “but a mission-driven one. We are being called in this challenging moment to a new evangelization effort by giving witness to the power of the gospel to transform hearts, lives, church, and society. Now is the time for all American Catholics to walk together in faith and to bond our lives in a common effort.” Describing Catholic Extension as one way that American Catholics work together to collaboratively build faith, inspire hope, and ignite change, he offers a vision of how a shared mission can help renew the Catholic Church in America.

Session VIII | 10:45 - 11:45 am VIII-01 Celebrating the Year of Faith with Middle School Youth: Fun, Frustrating or Fascinating?!  Mary Lee Becker, M.P.M. GB 6 (4th) Also being presented in Session II VIII-02 “I Don’t Need Your Catechism”: The Danger of Ignoring the Creed in Teaching Religion Marlon De La Torre, M.A., M.Ed. MR 3 (3rd) This presentation will draw on how the Catechism is actually relevant in catechetical teaching. At the same time, this workshop will reveal potential errors and pitfalls when ignoring the Creed in catechetical instruction. VIII-03 49 Years After the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy: Are We There Yet? Sandra Dooley MR 9 (3rd) The Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy was promulgated on December 4, 1963. What does the CSL have to say to us today and how do recent liturgical documents relate to it? To what extent has the vision of the CSL been realized?

SESSIONS & OTHER EVENTS

RCIA Adapted for Children Diana Dudoit Raiche, Ph.D.JB C-D (3rd) What do you do with children at the parish or Catholic school who arrive without benefit of baptism, first communion, or confirmation? How is their initiatory catechesis similar to and yet different from the sacramental catechesis of their peers who were baptized as infants? Teachers, catechists and youth ministers are discovering the need to be prepared for the growing number of older children and youth who fit this description. This presentation focuses on what the Church calls us to do to meet the spiritual and sacramental needs of these children and their families through the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults adapted for them. Discover the essential elements of RCIA adapted for children and how to implement these elements through sample case studies. Also being presented in Session X

Session Descriptions VIII-04 “I Will Ask the Father and He Will Send You Another Advocate to Be with You Always”  Gene Giuliano, M.A. MR 6 (3rd) The great gift that Jesus promised to his followers before his death, resurrection, and ascension was the gift of the Holy Spirit. The very Spirit of God is offered to us to be our spirit. Yet, how real is this gift to us? Is the Holy Spirit more to us than that third person of the Trinity who is difficult to explain and even more difficult to relate to? It is easy to understand why there are those who find it hard to have a personal relationship with the Holy Spirit when the Spirit is viewed as a mysterious power or force and is described using biblical images like breath, wind, water, dove, fire, and cloud. This session examines the biblical presentation of the Holy Spirit and prayerfully reflects on the Holy Spirit as the gift of God, the presence of God, the power of God, the truth of God, and the very heart of God. VIII-05

Advent: Fuel for the Fire of Faith Lisa M. Hendey GB 7 (4th) During this Year of Faith, we will enter more fully into the promise and potential of the liturgical season of Advent. Learn to joyfully rediscover your faith during the season of Advent and to be renewed in sharing your faith with others. Goals for this session will include examing the Advent scriptures and sharing personal and group opportunities for faith sharing and catechesis during the season of Advent.

VIII-06 Music for Bilingual (English-Spanish) Celebrations Peter M. Kolar JB A-B (3rd) When English- and Spanish-speaking assemblies come together for worship, music becomes an essential factor in the welcoming experience. Bilingual music, in particular, can be an important bridge between cultures, if used effectively. We’ll look at various bilingual and monolingual selections, both recent and traditional, that are useful for bicultural liturgies. Practical suggestions for application will be offered as well as a tour of pertinent resources. VIII-07 How to Talk with Young People about God!  Robert McCarty, D.Min. GB 4-5 (4th) 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!

MR 8 (3rd) Also being presented in Session VI VIII-09 What Does it Mean to be a Liturgical Parish?  Michael R. Prendergast, M.T.S., M.A. GB 1-3 (4th) Also being presented in Session VI VIII-10 La Familia’s Catechesis: Accompaniment on the Journey of Faith Dr. Verónica Rayas, Ph.D. MR 5 (3rd) Traditionally, Catholicism has been a “home religion” among Mexican Americans, as children grow up experiencing countless opportunities of faith expressions and spiritual wisdom. Many Mexicans and Mexican Americans learned to live a life of faith in their childhood homes. This workshop focuses on basic catechetical principals used in “la familia’s catechesis,” such as the development of community, the importance of a faith-cultural identity, and the role of aesthetics and traditions in catechesis. Join us as we explore the experiences and lessons learned in “la familia,” while highlighting the use of these catechetical principles in the religious formation of children, youth, and adults in your community. VIII-11 How Can We Support Infertile Couples and Those Who Have Experienced Miscarriage or Stillbirth?  Angelique Ruhi-López & Carmen Santamaría, J.D. GB 8 (4th) With one in six couples experiencing infertility in the U.S., the Catholic Church must stand ready to provide medical, ethical and spiritual support to couples bearing this cross. This session will begin with a basic introduction to infertility and the Church’s teachings on the subject. It will also address the emotions and challenges of those experiencing infertility, as well as how to minister to infertile couples and those who have experienced miscarriage through support groups, special Masses/liturgies, and other resources and ideas that dioceses and parishes may implement. VIII-12 Keys to Happiness: Two Types of People, Those Who are Happy and Those Who are Working On It  Anna Scally MR 2 (3rd) 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.

Teaching To and From the Rites Scott Sollom, M.A. JB C-D (3rd) Catechesis becomes intellectualized if it fails to come alive in sacramental practice. The goal of this workshop is to help catechists to teach toward full, conscious, and active participation in the liturgy. We will look at the key dimensions of liturgy, including baptism and Rite of Acceptance/ Rite of Welcoming.

Session IX | 12:15 - 1:15 pm IX-01 Creative Catechesis: Going Beyond the Worksheet Julie Brunet & Renée McAlister GB 4-5 (4th) This interactive presentation will demonstrate how to enthuse and involve students in the learning process while making religion lessons come alive. Attendees will be shown how to incorporate seasonal themes and liturgical events, giving relevance and meaning to religion lessons. Through literature, music, art, drama, and many hands-on experiences, attendees will become active participants in this presentation. IX-02 Music for Celebrating the Mass with Children  John Burland JB C-D (3rd) As religious educators, the introduction of the new translation of the Roman Missal has called us to ensure that children and families continue to grow in their knowledge, understanding and celebration of the Mass. In this workshop, John will share a collection of catechetical songs for deepening children’s understanding of the Mass and a variety of liturgical music that can be used in Masses with children.

IX-04 The Communion Minister and the Real Presence: Is There an Elephant in the Living Room? Patricia J. Hughes, D.Min GB 7 (4th) Experience a refreshingly detailed look at the liturgical ministry of the Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion. From a pastoral perspective, come discover—or perhaps revisit—the history, theology, and spirituality of the Communion Minister. There’s “an elephant in the living room” when we choose to distribute Holy Communion rather than serve the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, often overlooking or not understanding the doctrine of the Real Presence. Faith plus formation is the goal for anyone who is currently an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion, or for those who are interested in learning this ministry. Expect practical information, training resources, a glossary of terms, and inspiration for the faith-full ministry of the Communion Minister. Clarifying questions will be welcomed! IX-05 Bloom Where You’re Planted: Finding God Where He’s Always Been  Dan Luby, S.T.D. GB 6 (4th) “Our hearts are restless until they rest in you.” With this famous prayer, St. Augustine not only expresses one man’s yearning for God, he also describes a universal human reality. To be human is to be a seeker; specifically a seeker after God. This session offers conversation and shared insight about how we can embrace our fundamental vocation of seeking God. Its premise is that our search rarely calls us to exotic, far away places, but rather to seek and find God in the day-today circumstances which constitute our lives. Participants will exchange and take away concrete suggestions for cultivating the virtue and practice of “presence” in the Presence of God. IX-06 Utopia or Reality? Building Unity in the Classroom, Parish, and Beyond  Dr. Thomas Masters MR 6 (3rd) Also being presented in Session VI IX-07 Mary as Disciple and Evangelizer  Sr. Honora Nolty, OP MR 9 (3rd) In this Year of Faith, we are asked to look at the role Mary, the Mother of God plays in our faith life.

MR 1 (3rd) In this Year of Faith, a year dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the opening of the Second Vatican Council and the 20th anniversary of the publication of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Msgr. Peter J. Vaghi reflects on the four pillars of the Catechism from his four books on this subject, a series published by Ave Maria Press entitled the Pillars of Faith Series. These four catechetical books, and his workshop, are and will be a pastoral and theological reflection on faith, the seven sacraments, the moral life (especially the 10 commandments) and prayer. His four book series is useful and beneficial, especially in this Year of Faith, for personal study, classroom work, adult faith formation and the RCIA.

IX-03 “I’m Catholic. Now What?” A Biblical and Catechetical Approach in Helping the New Catholics Find Their Way in the Church  Marlon De La Torre, M.A., M.Ed. MR 7 (3rd) This workshop will draw on key and practical catechetical and doctrinal principles to assist the neophyte in his/her transition into daily Catholic life. Emphasis will be placed on formation, curriculum, and evangelizations techniques.

Session Descriptions will consider her readiness to receive and accept God’s invitation to bring Christ to the world, her remarkable response, and the invitation that is ours today. IX-08

he Crucifixion and the Cross in T Faith and Form  Lyle Novinski MR 8 (3rd) Lyle Novinski, emeritus professor of Art at the University of Dallas, examines the fundamental Christian symbol, the Cross, and the evolution of Crucifixion iconography. This illustrated lecture will develop an awareness of the importance of the shift in meaning and content from the symbolic to the literal interpretation of an action.

Session X | 1:30 - 2:30 pm X-01 Vibrant Music Ministry for Liturgy and More Steve Angrisano & Curtis Stephan JB A-B (3rd) Also being presented in Session IV X-02 Seven Verses Every Catholic Should Know!  John Bergsma, Ph.D., Th.M., M.Div. MR 3 (3rd) Ever been stumped by a non-Catholic friend quoting verses against the Catholic Church? The anti-Catholic use of Scripture is common in America. Rightly used, however, the Scripture supports the Church, and Dr. Bergsma discusses seven verses crucial for understanding, defending, and sharing the Catholic faith. Memorizing these seven is very helpful for evangelism, apologetics, and catechesis. X-03 Parent to Parent – Practical Ways of Sharing Faith as Parents of Youth  Tom East GB 6 (4th) How can we engage youth in faith conversations and prayer at home? A variety of research 26

projects demonstrate that adolescence is a critical time for family faith sharing. This workshop will provide ideas and resources, parent to parent, to help families seize teachable moments, talkable moments and prayable moments during the adolescent years. This workshop is geared toward parents and would also be helpful for leaders in youth ministry and religious education. X-04 Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship: Clear Guidance from our Bishops on Understanding and Prioritizing the Issues as Faithful Catholics  Karen Garnett MR 8 (3rd) It is the duty and moral obligation of Catholics to be active in the public square and to advocate for life, justice and peace in our nation and world. In November 2011, the U.S. Bishops reissued their 2008 edition of Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship, including a new Introductory note. To help Catholics unpack the teaching in this comprehensive document in 2008, Bishops Kevin Farrell and Kevin Vann issued a two-page “Joint Statement to the Faithful of the Dioceses of Dallas and Fort Worth” in both English and Spanish. The Joint Statement was heralded as one of the clearest ever to be issued on this critical, but toooften misunderstood and misinterpreted, teaching of our Church. In this talk, Karen Garnett (English track) and Aurora Tinajero (Spanish track) walk through the Bishops’ Joint Statement point-by-point, differentiating between issues that are “intrinsically evil” and those of “prudential judgment,” explaining “proportionate reasons” and what is morally permissible when forming consciences. X-05 Virtue-Based Restorative Discipline™ A Catholic Response to Bullying  Lynne Lang MR 6 (3rd) Also being presented in Session V X-06 Stewardship: Let Your Light Shine!  Mary Campo Hall A (1st) Are you creative, organized, an introvert or extrovert, competitive, compassionate, a leader or someone who would rather be behind the scenes, a good listener or a good talker? Are you a harmonizer or a debater, flexible or stubborn, do you adapt easily or find change difficult? Are you mathematical or artistic? Do you love teaching children or teens, or are you more comfortable with adults? Are you someone who gets spiritual satisfaction from sitting and praying or from taking action on a social justice issue? What makes you, YOU? How are you using your talents to strengthen your relationship with God and become more fully engaged in your faith community? This workshop will explore the never ending, joyful journey of recognizing and living your God-given gifts and becoming a grateful and generous Christian steward.

Session XI | 3:00 - 4:00 pm XI-01 The Global War on Christians: Dispatches from the Front Lines  John Allen GB 4-5 (4th) Eighty percent of all acts of religious persecution in the world today are directed against Christians, but in the West it is often difficult to conceive of Christianity as a persecuted minority. Yet in a growing number of global hotspots, such as the Middle East, the Indian subcontinent, and parts of sub-Saharan Africa, Christians are paying in blood for their faith every day. Right now, there’s a real possibility that the Holy Land could turn into a “spiritual Disneyland,” full of glittering attractions but empty of living Christian communities. This session will sketch the global war against Christians and highlight what we can do about it. XI-02

XI-04 EXPOSED - Faith & Trauma  Shannon M. Deitz JB A-B (3rd) Through the extremely personal, no-holds-barred account of one woman’s journey down a selfdestructive path, this session will address such issues as rape and other abuse, living in the prison of a victim mentality, and the need to relinquish control of one’s self to God. Not only will Shannon Deitz expose the awful truths of abuse, but she will give encouragement to all that no matter how deeply our wounds may run, we will always be worthy of God’s healing grace.

XI-06 Enlivening the Sacrament Preparation Process! Steven Ellair MR 8 (3rd) Are you involved in the sacrament preparation process and need some new ideas? Are you looking to renew your vision of what this process is all about? If so, then come to this workshop! We will explore how this important time of preparation can be full of life and meaning for those we are working with, for ourselves, and for the whole community. We will look at some keys of effective sacrament preparation and experience some engaging activities that can be used in this process. Come and learn how to create an enlivened process of sacrament preparation in your parish or school! XI-07 The God of the Old Testament  James B. McGill, M.A. GB 8 (4th) The God revealed in the pages of the Old Testament: 1) creates (chaos into order, fruitfulness, blessing, well-being), 2) makes promises (despair to hope, barrenness to life, makes possible a future), 3) delivers (disrupts social bondage and exploitation, authorizes freedom, dignity, justice), 4) commands (insists on holiness and justice making life and community possible), and 5) leads (continually transforms abandonment into homecoming). In this presentation, we will examine this description of God. No other ancient religion understood God the way the Israelites did. Such a distinctive sense of who God is and how God acts prepared them for the full revelation of this God in Jesus Christ. XI-08 Embracing Vulnerability: The Holiness of Family Life  Greg Dobie Moser, D.Min. MR 7 (3rd) Recognizing and embracing God in the ordinary and extraordinary moments of family life is a way to help parents and families grow in holiness. Join us as we build bridges between the eucharistic table in our kitchen and the Eucharistic table where we gather as a Family of Families around the table of the Lord. XI-09 Faith and Vietnamese Culture: What Pastoral Leaders Need to Know  Rev. Hy Nguyen JB C-D (3rd) Pope Paul VI, in Evangelii Nuntiandi states: “The split between the Gospel and culture is without a doubt the drama of our time, just as it was of other times.” Pastoral leaders are to help the faithful to live out one’s faith authentically. In many cases, misunderstanding leads to negative effects on pastoral works. If developing multicultural awareness is a decisive 27

Life in Christ Scott Sollom, M.A. MR 7 (3rd) Conversion is the ‘marvelous exchange’ between God and man. The focus of this workshop is on Christ as the Way, the Truth, and the Life. We will delve into Paul’s fascinating expression that we are all temples of the Holy the Spirit, including the Old Testament background, Christ’s fulfillment as the New Temple, and the way in which Christ’s life is reproduced in each of us.

Session Descriptions factor for social and business success, how much more should it be for pastoral - theological purposes? It is critical for pastoral leaders to know how to inculturate people’s faith in their own parish setting, and to make all theologies local theologies. XI-10 It Begins with a Question --Evangelizing Families  Jo Ann Paradise, D.Min. MR 9 (3rd) If you fall into the category of those of us who want to motivate families to make their home a place where faith is loved, learned and lived, then join us as we consider how to do just that. Perhaps the answer lies not in trying to find the answer but in trying to ask the right questions. This will lead us to some practical ideas to inform, form and facilitate transformation in our families.

XI-12 Mission Possible -Catholic Identity and Young Adults  Joan C. Weber MR 1 (3rd) Young adults are self-motivated learners. If the Church wants to engage them in faith formation, it is vital to make the connection between their Catholic faith and their everyday lives. This workshop offers strategies for doing catechesis with young couples and singles through unique settings and creative methods which capture their imaginations and awaken their hunger for learning more about their God and their Catholic faith.

Steve has a keen intuition regarding the needs of any audience and engages them with his unique blend of humor, song, story and interaction.

III-22 ¿Que enseña la Iglesia Católica sobre la tecnología reproductiva?  Angelique Ruhi-López & Carmen Santamaría, J.D. GB 8 (4th) Un concepto erróneo y común es que la Iglesia Católica dice “NO” a la mayoría de las tecnologías reproductivas cuando en realidad, la Iglesia dice “SÍ” a algunas tecnologías reproductivas y a una manera de sanar las causas de la infertilidad que mantienen la dignidad de la pareja y el hijo que esperan concebir. Durante la sesión, se elaborará lo que enseña la Iglesia sobre la inseminación, la fertilización in vitro, el alquiler de úteros, y más. Al describir las alternativas católicas de tratamientos, la sesión dará una explicación clara de las enseñanzas de la Iglesia sobre estos asuntos bioéticos.

Sesión IV | 1:30 - 2:30 pm IV-21 El amor es un arte, no un sentimiento  Rev. J Eduardo González GB 4-5 (4th) Dios Padre nos envia el primer mensaje de amor al regalarnos, como un artista y creador, esta casa-universo donde habitamos. En la la cruz de su Hijo nos revela que el amor, no es un sentimiento romántico, sino una firme determinacion de entregarlo todo para salvarnosrecrearnos, canjeando su muerte por una vida

IV-22 La Música al Servico de la Liturgia, Parte 1 Peter M. Kolar JB A-B (3rd) ¿Qué tan poderosa es la música en moldear nuestra experiencia del culto? ¿Qué tan importante es el papel del coro en la Misa? Tiene que ver, últimamente, con la participación de la asamblea: los coros buenos están atentos, sobre todo, al cantar del pueblo reunido; los coros no atentos ni se fijan en la asamblea, tratándoles como si estuvieran en un concierto. Exploraremos la estructura de le Misa, y cómo la música litúrgica puede y debe elevar nuestras voces al cielo. ¡Para los músicos y todos los feligreses que quieren ser mejores participantes en la Misa! IV-23 El Carisma del Sacramento del Matrimonio: Parejas Caminando juntos en la Fe para realizar su Misión  Jake Samour, M.T.S. MR 7 (3rd) Por medio de la alianza sacramental del matrimonio cada pareja se pone al servicio de la misión de la Iglesia para construir el Reino de Dios. Esta misión eclesial existe por medio de un carisma especial en el sacramento y llega a ser una tipo de consagración en Cristo. Es decir, “el amor humano es asumido en el Amor Divino” (Gaudium et Spes, 48), y es puesto al servicio de un amor más grande: El amor de Dios y el amor a la humanidad en Cristo. Durante esta presentación veremos cómo esta misión contribuye y edifica el cuerpo nupcial de Cristo, la Iglesia, como está arraigada en la alianza sacramental del matrimonio y como es vivida dentro de la comunidad eclesial. Esta misión, por supuesto, es formar una comunión de vida y amor y al mismo tiempo es ser enviado al mundo. Examinaremos como es que estas dos tareas son vividas simultáneamente y más importante como corresponden totalmente a los deseos más profundos de cada cónyuge. En fin, es un reconocer a lo que hemos sido creados y ofrecer una respuesta a lo que cada pareja últimamente anda buscando.

Sesión V | 3:00 - 4:00 pm V-21 Maria discípula y evangelizadora  Manuel Hernandez MR 7 (3rd) En este el año de la fe se nos pide ver el papel que Maria juega como madre de Dios y madre nuestra, en nuestra vida de fe. En este taller exploraremos a través de los lentes de las Escrituras la vida de Maria como discípula y como evangelizadora. Tomaremos en consideración su 47

III-21 Cuando No Hay Coro... Música para Quinceañeras, Bodas y Funerales Santiago Fernandez JB C-D (3rd) Muchas veces el coro parroquial está enfocado en el ministerio dominical de la parroquia, o no está disponible entre semana o los sábados porque todos trabajan, pero las quinceañeras, bodas y funerales deben también formar parte integral del programa musical en la parroquia y no podemos tolerar la mediocridad en estas misas. ¿Quién canta cuando el coro no está disponible? ¿Se permite en la parroquia que canten “solistas” o grupos como si fuera un concierto en lugar de fomentar la participación de la asamblea litúrgica? En esta sesión hablaremos de estos y otros desafíos y de los requisitos y reglamentos que debe haber cuando otros cantores o instrumentistas visitan nuestras parroquias.

que no conoce limite. Por amor nos devuelve a los humanos la imagen de un Dios que nos permite expresar, con una valiente decision, el amor, como una verdadera obra de arte que divinamente nos capacita para ayudarle a Dios mismo, a recrear a la persona a la que fielmente amamos y al planeta donde vivimos. También se presentará en la Sesión X

Descripciones de las Sesiones disponibilidad para recibir y aceptar la invitación de parte Dios de traer a Cristo al mundo. Tanto su extraordinaria respuesta como su invitación es nuestra hoy. También se presentará en la Sesión XI V-22 En el matrimonio, ¿el amor es para siempre?  Alejandro Ordieres MR 6 (4th) ¿Por qué algunos matrimonio se rompen? ¿Por qué el amor se acaba? ¿Dónde quedó la pasión con la que vivimos nuestros primero años como novios y recién casados? El matrimonio es para siempre pero ahora ese “para siempre” dura demasiado. Sin embargo, Dios es amor y, por ello, el amor es un misterio que por naturaleza es eterno para todos aquellos que están dispuestos a realizar el esfuerzo que exige amar. También se presentará en la Sesión VII V-23 Alimentar/ensenar la oración en la catequesis Dr. Verónica Rayas, Ph.D. MR 3 (3rd) La oración es un componente esencial de la catequesis que se centra en alimentar la relación de la persona con Dios. Este taller dará a los catequistas y educadores religiosos una comprensión de las cuatro formas básicas de oración: petición, acción de gracias, perdón y alabanza (CCC 2626 - 2643). Actividades creativas y divertidas y herramientas basadas en las diversas inteligencias múltiples serán compartidas junto con los recursos para su aplicación inmediata.

Sesión VI | 4:30 - 5:30 pm VI-21 “Prepárate para amar” - para jóvenes  Rev. Ángel Espinosa de los Monteros Gómez Haro, L.C. GB 6 (3rd) ¿Cómo vivir un noviazgo? Obstáculos, medios, ¿hasta dónde? ¿Qué es el amor? ¿Cómo saber si es él o ella la persona con la que puedo construir toda una vida? VI-22 Caminando juntos en RICA por un proceso de discernimiento vs vía rápida  Sr. Esther M. Guerrero, mcdp, MTS MR 2 (3rd) En este taller juntos vamos a reflexionar sobre el don de discernimiento vs. haciendo una decisión trás la vía rápida. Es un proceso, una jornada de fe, que se camina gradualmente conociendo y enamorandose de la persona de Jesús y la Iglesia. Consciente de la presencia amorosa de Dios en la vida, los candidatos/catecúmenos junto con los que caminan con ellos, aprenderán a discernir a escuchar y responder al llamado de Dios que los lleva a comprender y abrazar el Misterio Pascual. También se presentará en la Sesión VII

VI-23 La Espiritualidad Católica y la conversión en el Precatecumenado Magdalena Gutierrez GB 1-3 (4th) La primera etapa del proceso catecumeanal es para proclamar el Evangelio y llamar a la gente a creer en Cristo y a una vida de conversión continua. Los participantes explorarán ideas prácticas para enseñar los elementos básicos de una vida de conversión continua a Cristo y los pasos iniciales en el proceso de abrazar un estilo de vida Católico. VI-24 La Nueva Evangelizacion Signo de un Nuevo Pentecostes  Antonio Ramirez de León, Ph.D., D.Min. MR 7 (4th) “La evangelizacion es la mision escencial de la Iglesia” nos decia el Papa Paulo VI. En esta presentacion veremos que significa evangelizar y cuales son los puntos centrales de lo que hoy se llama la Nueva Evangelizacion. Profundizaremos en este tema ya que sera el punto central del proximo sinodo de los Obispos. Este nuevo impulso a proclamar la buena nueva es un signo claro de un nuevo Pentecostes. !Ay de mi si no evangelizara! (San Pablo) Urge anunciar en nuevas formas el amor de Dios y la salvacion en Cristo Jesus.

SÁBADO, 27 DE OCTUBRE Sesión VII | 9:15 - 10:15 am VII-21 Repercusiones de las relaciones sexuales en los jóvenes y la familia  Dra. Pilar Calva MR 8 (3rd) Los Padres son los primeros educadores de sus hijos. Su ejemplo es la influencia esencial en la vida de sus hijos. El amor y cariño que den a sus hijos es el mejor impedimento contra un comportamiento promiscuo y conductas rebeldes. Una familia fuerte y disciplinada produce ciudadanos más responsables, y disminuye de manera importante la tasa de adolescentes embarazadas y con enfermedades de transmisión sexual. El Colegio Americano de Pediatras (American College of Pediatricians) apoya fuertemente la educación sexual basada en la abstinencia hasta el matrimonio y recomienda su adopción por parte de todo el sistema educativo, en lugar de la “educación sexual integral”. VII-22 Caminando juntos en RICA por un proceso de discernimiento vs vía rápida  Sr. Esther M. Guerrero, mcdp, MTS MR 6 (3rd) También se presentará en la Sesión VI VII-23 La Espiritualidad Católica y la Conversión durante la Cuaresma Magdalena Gutierrez GB 8 (4th) La entrega a Jesucristo genera en los creyentes el deseo de conocerle más profundamente y de identificarse con El. Esta vida cristiana es

Descripciones de las Sesiones un camino espiritual que provoca un “cambio progresivo de actitudes y costumbres”, hecho de renuncias y de luchas, y también de gozos que Dios concede sin medida. Los participantes explorarán ideas prácticas para guiar a los participantes del RICA y a toda la parroquia a un renovado deseo de santidad y a un cambio de corazón y mente que es práctico y contagioso. VII-24 En el matrimonio, ¿el amor es para siempre?  Alejandro Ordieres JB A-B (3rd) También se presentará en la Sesión V

VII-26 La catequesis de la familia: Acompañamiento en la jornada de fe Dr. Verónica Rayas, Ph.D. GB 4-5 (4th) Tradicionalmente, el catolicismo ha sido una “religión en casa”, entre los México-americanos que crecen experimentando un sinnúmero de oportunidades sobre las expresiones de fe y sabiduría espiritual. Muchos mexicanos y Méxicoamericanos aprendieron a vivir una vida de fe en el hogar de su infancia. Este taller se centra en principios básicos utilizados en “La catequesis de la familia”, tales como el desarrollo de la comunidad, la importancia de una identidad de cultura-religiosa y el papel de la estética y las tradiciones en la catequesis. Únete a nosotros para explorar las experiencias y lecciones aprendidas en “la familia”, además de destacar el uso de estos principios de catequesis en la formación religiosa de niños, jóvenes y adultos en su comunidad. VII-27 El papel de la Sagrada Escritura en el proceso de RICA  Juan Rendon-Reyes MR 3 (3rd) La sesión presentará a los participantes la importancia de la Sagrada Escritura en el proceso de RICA. Después de la sesión el participante

VII-28 Al encuentro con Dios en los Salmos  Pía Septién GB 7 (4th) Al encuentro con Dios en los Salmos: los salmos son alabanzas, pero no son solo alabanzas, son mucho más…La finalidad de esta conferencia es la de responder a las preguntas: ¿Qué son los Salmos? ¿Por qué los cantamos? ¿Son una oración? ¿Hay diferentes tipos de Salmos? ¿Cómo puedo rezar con los Salmos? ¿Cuál es la diferencia entre Salmos de acción de gracias, alabanza, imprecación, reales, etc.? Dicen que hay salmos de imprecación o maldición ¿cómo puede haber eso en la Biblia? También se presentará en la Sesión XI VII-29 Formando Consciencias para Ciudadanía Fiel: Orientación Clara de nuestros Obispos sobre Entendiendo y dando Prioridad a los Asuntos como Católicos Fieles  Aurora Q. Tinajero GB 6 (4th) Es el deber y la obligación moral de los Católicos participar activamente en la plaza pública y abogar por la vida, la justicia y la paz en nuestra nación y el mundo. En noviembre de 2011, los Obispos de Estados Unidos volvieron a publicar su edición de 2008 de Formando la Conciencia para Ciudadanía Fiel, incluyendo una nota introductoria nueva. Para ayudar a los católicos descomprimir la enseñanza en este documento completo en el año 2008, los obispos Kevin Farrell y Vann Kevin publicaron una página doble “Declaración Conjunta para los Fieles de la Diócesis de Dallas y Fort Worth”, en ambos Inglés y Español. La declaración conjunta fue anunciada como una de las más claras sobre esta enseñanza de nuestra Iglesia crítica y muy frecuentemente mal entendida. En esta charla, Aurora Tinajero caminan a través de la Declaración Conjunta de los Obispos, punto por punto, diferenciando entre las cuestiones que son “intrínsecamente malas” y las de “juicio prudencial”, explicando “razones proporcionadas “ y lo que es moralmente permisible en la formación de conciencias.

Sesión VIII | 10:45 - 11:45 am VIII-21 Caminando en Fe con Jesus  Alejandro Aguilera-Titus Hall A (1st) Jesus nos da un modelo de como a acompanar a nuestro pueblo en su caminar de fe por la vida.

VII-25 Formacion Permanente para Adultos: Transformacion hasta la talla Adulta de Cristo Jesus  Antonio Ramirez de León, Ph.D., D.Min. JB C-D (3rd) La mayoria de las Parroquias tienen catequesis para ninos y muchas otras para jovenes pero son muy pocas las que tienen formacion sistematica para adultos. Las inquietudes y formas de aprendender de los adultos tienen sus caracteristicas propias y van transformandose en las diferentes etapas de la vida. En esta presentacion nos basaremos en modelos para la formacion constante y permanente del Laico y los puntos claves en su liderazgo ministerial. Los modelos de formacion estan basados en el documento: “Co-Responsables en la Viña del Señor” de los Obispos de los EUA.”Para que no seamos niños en la fe, sino crezcamos hasta la talla adulta de Cristo Jesus.” (San Pablo)

tendrá disponibles algunas herramientas para poder hacer del proceso de RICA un Encuentro con el Señor en las Escrituras.

Descripciones de las Sesiones Sesión IX | 12:15 - 1:15 pm IX-21 La Música al Servico de la Liturgia, Parte 2 Peter M. Kolar JB A-B (3rd) Continuación de la parte 1. El enfoque será el documento oficial sobre la música, “Cantemos al Señor”, y la importancia de la participación plena, activa, y consciente de la asamblea. Continuaremos nuestra examinación de los Tres Juicios, y cómo determinar si un canto es o no es apropriado para usar en la liturgia. (No se requiere asistencia en la parte 1). IX-22 Los secretos de un misterio: la Eucaristía  Alejandro Ordieres GB 8 (4th) Un misterio es aquello que no se puede explicar, comprender o descubrir. Se trata de algo reservado, secreto o recóndito, y la Eucaristía es un misterio. Pero el misterio se revela a quien participa de él, a quien forma parte del círculo que lo rodea. La Eucaristía es la presencia real de Cristo en la tierra pero, ¿realmente lo creo? El mismo Cristo de hace dos mil años está entre nosotros y no me he dado cuenta. Acompáñame a revelar los secretos del Misterio Eucarístico para llegar al centro de la vida cristiana. IX-23 Hacia una Espiritualidad Integral: Varon y Hembra los creo Dios  Antonio Ramirez de León, Ph.D., D.Min. GB 1-3 (4th) Actualmente existe un debate entre que es religion y que es espiritualidad, en esta presentacion veremos que las dos individualmente tienen su importancia pero convergen en su valor, es decir, una religion sana encamina a una espiritualidad sana. Descubriremos la importancia de integrar lo espiritual y lo material, ya que somos cuerpo alma y espiritu, viviendo en una sociedad multicultural. Finalmente se introducira el Tema de la Espiritualidad para Varones que llama al hombre a transformarse y llegar a la verdadera comunion y corresponsabilidad con la mujer, ya que en ella misma se refleja la imagen y semejanza de Dios. En otras palabras, como puede el varon convertise en mejor padre, hijo, esposo y miembro activo de la sociedad y la Iglesia.

Sesión X | 1:30 - 2:30 pm X-21 ¿Cómo Enganchar a los Jóvenes en la Misa? Santiago Fernandez JB C-D (3rd) Cómo implementamos eficazmente un ministerio musical en la parroquia que realmente enganche a nuestros jóvenes? ¿Es correcto usar música de alabanza, mejor conocida como “Praise and Worship” en Misa? ¿Estamos aplicando juicios litúrgicos, pastorales y musicales en nuestra selección de música ? ¿Usamos música con ritmos alegres latinos pero que respete la dignidad de nuestras liturgias? ¡Ven a participar en este ameno diálogo con Santiago! 50

Phần VII | 9g15 – 10g15 VII-41 Cùng Bước Đi Trong Đức Tin: Đức Tin Công Giáo được gieo trên mảnh đất Văn Hoá Việt Nam Trọng chữ Tín  Rev. Hy Nguyen MR 7 (3rd) Tự căn tính văn hoá Việt Nam là văn hoá hữu thần. Văn hoá này đã là mảnh đất được chuẩn bị cho hạt giống đức tin Công giáo được gieo trồng ở Việt Nam. Tuy nhiên, nhiều hiểu lầm đã tạo ra những căng thẳng đáng tiếc giữa đức tin và văn hoá dẫn đến bắt bớ và trục xuất hàng chục ngàn người Công Giáo. Chúng ta học được bài học gì trong quá khứ? Với người Công giáo Việt Nam trên đất Mỹ, chúng ta làm thế nào giữ gìn văn hoá để củng cố đức tin Công giáo chúng ta trên vùng đất mới này?

Phần VIII | 10g45 – 11g45 VIII-41 Tôi tin Giáo hội Duy Nhất, Thánh Thiện Công giáo và Tông Truyền  Rev. Ly Nguyen MR 7 (3rd) Người Việt Nam, chịu ảnh hưởng Khổng giáo, tôn trọng trật tự trong xã hội. Người Công giáo Việt Nam yêu mến và kính trọng phẩm trật trong giáo hội. Với xu hướng chống đối giáo hội hiện nay, chúng ta cần làm gì để giữ vững niềm tin vào giáo hội? Chúng ta cần giáo hội hay không? Đâu là nguyên nhân làm mất niềm tin vào Giáo hội? Và những gì cần làm để phục hồi lại niềm tin đó?

Phần XI | 3g00 – 4g00 XI-09 Faith and Vietnamese Culture: What Pastoral Leaders need to Know  Rev. Hy Nguyen JB C-D (3rd) Pope Paul VI, in Evangelii Nuntiandi states: “The split between the Gospel and culture is without a doubt the drama of our time, just as it was of other times.” Pastoral leaders are to help the faithful to live out one’s faith authentically. In many cases, misunderstanding leads to negative effects on pastoral works. If developing multicultural awareness is a decisive factor for social and business success, how much more should it be for pastoral - theological purposes? It is critical for pastoral leaders to know how to inculturate people’s faith in their own parish setting, and to make all theologies local theologies. VIỆT 57
