Welcome Letter

September 2016 Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 10th anniversary of the Dallas Ministry Conference! As Bishop of the Diocese of Dallas and President of the University of Dallas, we are grateful that you have taken time aside from your normal work, family, and ministry commitments to join us for three days of Walking Together in Faith.

This event promises to be a faith-filled and formative experience, and your participation will surely affect your own faith journey as well as those you encounter.

As the only ministry conference in North Texas, the Dallas Ministry Conference offers Catholics in this region an unparalleled opportunity to receive exceptional faith formation from nationally and locally recognized speakers on topics of faith, catechesis, education, theology, prayer and ministry. We are honored to have as our English keynote speaker this year, Joe Paprocki, D.Min., and the Most Rev. Luis R. Zarama, Auxiliary Bishop of Atlanta, as the keynote speaker in Spanish on Saturday morning.

While you attend the sessions, we invite you to come together in prayer, visit the exhibit hall, and enjoy the liturgical art and music over this weekend, we pray that your mind and heart will be opened to God’s call in your life and that you will leave this conference empowered and rejuvenated.

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

Continuing Education Credit The Diocese of Dallas can issue continuing education credit for attending DMC. The PCL at your parish or the principal at your school must confirm that you attended the conference and will submit this information to the diocese on your behalf. For questions, contact your parish or school.

Emergencies If you have an emergency, contact either a DMC staff member, volunteer, or the closest KBHCC staff. If you are unable to find assistance, call facility dispatch at 214-939-2940. Remember, in an emergency, it is important to stay calm. We do have EMTs on site for this event.

Evaluations We ask 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). If you complete a paper version, which can be found in the centerfold of this program book, simply leave your paper forms in the boxes as you exit the convention center. You can also complete the evaluation on our DMC app or online at udallas.edu/dmc/ evaluation. You can download the app from the App Store or download it using the QR codes throughout the convention center.

Information Please see someone at the DMC Onsite Registration Booth located in Lobby A for general information or questions.. You can also ask volunteers found throughout the center in charcoal gray DMC shirts with “Ask Me� signs.

Lost and Found DMC is not responsible for lost or stolen items at the conference. However, if you lost something at the conference, first visit the DMC Onsite Registration Booth located in Lobby A. We will have a lost and found there for anyone with the conference who has found something to turn in.

If we do not have your item, we will also refer you to the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center Dallas, which has their own lost and found.

Please be prepared to provide a description of the lost item and an ID if necessary. If you realize you have lost something after the conference, contact us and we will be happy to check what was found for you.

Meal Options The Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center Dallas has their own food service company that will be providing the food options for the 2016 conference. These will include both hot meals and quick-eats, such as salads, sandwiches, and wraps.There will be food stands on the Exhibit Hall Level (2nd floor) in the atrium area and also stands will be available in the Exhibit Hall. Please look for signs directing you to the stands.

GENERAL INFORMATION

ATM There is an ATM located in Lobby A, near the entrance to the Arena.

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 On-site Registration Booth (Box Office) for a $5 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!

Parking The KBHCC parking for cars, truck, and trailer parking at the convention center is easy. The KBHCC garage and three surface parking lots (Lots C, D, and E) can accommodate almost any vehicle; however, they do not offer overnight parking or utility connections for campers and RVs. Parking is $15 per entry (ie, no in-and-out service).

Kyle Sinkule Kyle Sinkule is a singer and songwriter from West, Texas. Growing up in a musical household had a major impact on Kyle’s life and helped to shape his current career.

With a musical father, his early life always revolved around a song. Kyle first picked up a guitar in the 4th grade. This led to an obsession with music. Kyle started playing for Wednesday evening Mass when he was in junior high, which spurred him to start his first band, Exit 353, that lasted for the majority of his high school years until his band members moved on to college and Kyle decided to pursue his solo career. Kyle flew to Nashville in the summer of 2014 to be mentored by professionals in the Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) business. After returning from Nashville, Kyle started writing for his first EP, “Walk With Me”. Kyle had the opportunity to open the Rise Up Rally in 2015 which included artists Chris August, The Afters, and Sidewalk Prophets. Soon after Kyle recorded and released “Promised Land” in the Spring of 2015 which reached #1 on Amazon’s Singer-Songwriters chart. Kyle was invited back to Tennessee in the Spring of 2016 for Kingdom Songs songwriters retreat, hosted by James Tealy and Michael Farren. Kyle’s sound is a unique blend of folk, rock, and country. His lyrics are inspired by Old Testament Bible stories, the writings of Paul, and nature elements. Kyle’s debut album “Walk With Me” is comprised of six original songs. Produced by Chris Clayton, “Walk With Me” was released May 14, 2016.

Homosexuality is one of the most anxiety-inducing topics in the Church today. However, many active (as well as former or hopeful) Church members have it as a part of their own experience or that of loved ones, and silence is not always beneficial. Come help us work to heal the paralyzed conversation with a look at what the Church does (and doesn’t!) teach about homosexuality, and some tips on ministering in ways that show charity and thoughtfulness to all who are open to Christ’s call.

Sunday after Sunday in many parishes the assembly is fed from the reserved sacrament in the tabernacle. Yet the General Instruction of the Roman Missal is very clear “it is most desirable that the faithful, just as the Priest himself is bound to do, receive the Lord’s Body from hosts consecrated at the same Mass…so that by means of the sign Communion may stand out more clearly as a participation in the sacrifice actually being celebrated.” (GIRM, 85). Come and explore the importance of this rubric (teaching) of the Church.

What (Not) To Presume: Evangelizing in a Secular Age — Bill & Therese Frank

How we begin, how we find the right starting point, makes all the difference in our work as evangelizers and catechists. We, who have taken on the habits and traditions of the Catholic life, may find it difficult to appreciate the spiritual poverty that has become the norm of our culture. The depths of this poverty can be shocking. Yet those who come before us, from out of that culture, carry within their hearts a unique and special word.

That word - their calling - is our starting point. We begin by listening and discerning the experience, the desire, the fear, the pain, the joy that has led this person to the door steps of the Church. The terms of contemporary American secular culture will increasingly require a personalist and biblical approach to evangelizing and catechizing today’s adults, young adults, and teens. Abraham and the Hebrew people, Paul and the first Christians show us what it means to hear and respond to God’s call in the midst of an alien people. We are called to recapitulate that experience. Our talk shares what we have learned about the characteristics of contemporary secularism and what (not) to presume in Catholic ministry.

Using the Order of Celebrating Matrimony: Planning Parish Weddings with the Church’s NEW Rite — Patricia J. Hughes, D.Min.

The Vatican has approved a new rite for celebrating the Sacrament of Matrimony, which must be in use by December 30, 2016. Come and discover what cultural adaptations are now officially approved for the wedding Mass or ceremony, and review the new language that has been inserted into the official text. Bring your questions about posture, gesture, and ritual movement in the wedding liturgy. Every parish in the U.S. will need to purchase a new ritual text; the Office of Worship will connect you with the publishers. Be the first in your parish to learn about the NEW rite!

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Ministry Leaders — Bruce Baumann

An effective and life changing ministry is much more than cookies and curriculum. It is time to dig deep beyond the surface in taking a good, hard look at our efforts.

Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI stated that “the Church cannot neglect the service of charity any more than she can neglect the Sacraments and the Word.” (Deus Caritas Est, 22).

Yet, in our parishes where we may find an abundance of faith formation opportunities and a rich Sacramental life, we don’t always find opportunities to be formed in the Church’s mission to serve those in need or to live charity in our local, national, and international communities. Diving into the US Bishops’ document Communities of Salt and Light, we will look at ways to inspire the parish to do more for the poor & vulnerable, to build ministries that serve those most in need, and to integrate the service of charity throughout the life of the parish.

An unhealthy tension has developed in many places between ministry and theology.

Those on the front lines of faith formation frequently criticizes academic theology as useless and disconnected from the concrete realities of ministry. Academics often lament the poor quality of faith formation programs and the lack of academic rigor in ministry formation programs. This presentation will look at how this separation between theology and ministry has developed and present a vision for how theology and ministry can help each other -- and in fact need each other.

Lay Ecclesial Ministry to the Sick — Dcn. Charlie Stump, MS, MPM

When a family member or parishioner is in the hospital, our first response as Catholics is to call for a priest. But Pope Francis challenges the person in the pew to step forward and recognize their ministerial call to mission, to care for the sick and dying among us. This presentation will look at the roles of Lay Ecclesial ministry including a look at Hospital Chaplaincy work by lay ministers to the sick and the dying. Also, we will take a look at alternatives to the Sacrament of “Anointing of the Sick” as being our only option in the care of the sick and those in danger of death.

The Joy of Love: Pope Francis’ Love Letter to the Church — Gene Giuliano

Pope Francis’ apostolic exhortation, “Amoris Laetitia” (“The Joy of Love”), has been the subject of debate and “mixed reviews.” On the one hand, it has been described as a love letter inviting all of us, and especially married couples and families, to never stop growing in love; a call to the Church to realize more and more her mission to live and love as a family. On the other hand, some have expressed disappointment not so much in what Francis says, but in what he doesn’t say. The focus of this session is twofold: the unambiguous statements of Pope Francis regarding marriage, sexuality, and family, and the pope’s expressed desire that the Church’s ministers reach out in mercy and compassion to those who struggle to incarnate those truths in their lives.

The Apostle Paul was a man of letters and a man of action who belongs to “that select company who leave their mark on their time, who mold their contemporaries, and exert an influence which stretches far into the future” (Bruce, 1977, p. 462). In this paper, I use Paul’s life and leadership to develop an integrative model of spiritual leadership.

According to this model, the empowering presence of the Spirit informs the mission, the motives, and the methods of a spiritual leader. The Spirit provides the means for accomplishing the mission. The effectiveness of spiritual leaders is measured by the changed lives of those they lead. I develop the idea that spiritual leadership – regardless of organizational context - occurs when a leader is yielded to and keeping in step with the Spirit.

Sponsored by Neuhoff School of Ministry Do you ever compare yourself with others then look in the mirror and cry, “Loser!” (Is this because your self-acceptance is based on accomplishment—and you don’t feel you hit the mark?) Or when life doesn’t go according to plan do you ask, “Where is God? Does He know what’s happening, and does He care?” Maybe you deeply long to walk more closely with Christ and feel His tender touch—yet you wonder, “Have the mistakes of my past made this impossible?” If your answer is, “Yes!” this encounter filled with encouragement, inspiration, insight and laughter is tailor-made for you. Hear faithfilled, powerful stories that offer a fresh perspective to life’s disappointments, challenges and even tragedies. If you yearn for that sweet taste of grace, come sense God at work despite your circumstances, and leave with the assurance that you are NOT alone.

Finding Balance: Saying ‘Yes’ to Yourself — Katie Prejean

Ministry is messy and can take a lot of time, energy, and effort. It can require you saying “yes” to thousands of tasks, none of which seemed to be initially listed in the job description. To endure the long haul, you have to find balance between the personal and professional. But so many ministers struggle to say “no” because they don’t want to let people down or they believe they’re the only one that can effectively make something happen. So, learn to say “yes” to the balance you need. Learn what to embrace and where to create boundaries. Identify the areas you need to find balance in, and learn how to prune the fruit.

Belonging & Participation of Parishioners with Disabilities: Getting Beyond “Coulds” & “Shoulds” — Janice Benton, SFO

Our Lord and Pope Francis call us to be open to all people -- particularly those placed on the margins -- recognizing their dignity and place within our faith communities.

Despite this call, we continue to hear of situations where children and adults are denied opportunities to be formed in their faith or active in their parish due to their disabling condition. This workshop will explore Church teaching which draws us beyond the questions of “should we” to understand how to create accessible and welcoming parish communities.

“I have become all things to all”: Living the Faith in America — Dr. Thomas W. Jodziewicz

To live the faith is a holy obligation in any culture, including that of America. The challenges, and opportunities, to witness to the faith in American history may profitably include the stories of such as John Carroll, the first American Catholic bishop (17891815) in a new republic with a traditional hostility to Catholicism; Orestes Brownson, a celebrated convert, and forceful apologist and author in the mid-19th century; Sr. Blandina Segale, an immigrant and colorful missionary in late 19th and early 20th century New Mexico; Daniel Rudd, a black Catholic editor, and leader in the late 19thcentury Black Catholic Congresses; and Dorothy Day, co-founder of the Catholic Worker, prolific author and persistent social activist in the 20th century. In their own ways, and in their own times, each gave substance to St. Paul’s call to evangelization of the American culture.

Canon Law and Marriage including the recent changes to the process of annulments — The Rev. Jaroslaw Z. Skrzypek, JCL, VF

The institution of marriage, by which a man and a woman become one in a partnership of the whole of life, was established by God. Moreover, the marriage covenant between two baptized persons has been raised by Christ the Lord to the dignity of a sacrament.

Sadly, many marriages are not successful in spite of good intentions of the spouses.

There are many misconceptions about what a declaration of nullity in the Catholic Church actually is. The following seminar is an attempt to answer the most frequently asked questions about marriage and a declaration of nullity including the Pope Francis’ reformed and simplified procedure for the declaration of nullity of marriages. The author will offer an analysis of this new procedure and guide the audience through the brand new processus brevior.

In 2005, the National Study of Youth and Religion pointed out statistics which identified that only 34% of North American families eat one meal together during the week, while barely 12% of those families spent time together in prayer. Now more than ever we must explore ways to pass down our faith by journeying together as a family. This session looks at practical ways we can live a life of faith as family. It is vital to live our faith Monday thru Saturday to build a relationship with Christ in the real world so we can have an encounter with Him on Sundays that creates a connection which binds us to our faith. We will look at three different questions of faith formation which are vital to prepare ourselves in order to do this: 1. Who is God calling us to be as individuals? 2.What are the models of prayer we have in order to build a relationship with God? 3. What can we explore together in order to understand why we believe what we believe? This workshop will also offer resources available for church leaders to share this message with parishioners.

The Liturgical Origins of the Gospels — Fr. Thomas Esposito, O.Cist.

We know that the books of the New Testament are inspired by God, but how were they written?

The talk will also highlight some fascinating connections between the form of the Synoptic Gospel stories and the liturgical setting of the early Church believers. The goal of this presentation is twofold: to reveal how the faith of the early Church led to the creation of the Gospel texts, and to show how our link to the earthly Jesus through the Scriptures still occurs in the Eucharistic meal.

There are more than 34 million unpaid caregivers in the United States, giving care to someone who is 18 years old or older and sick or disabled. 83% of these caregivers are family members providing care for a relative. They sit in our pews at Mass, teach in our schools, run our religious education programs, or are parents in our programs, attempting to live a life divided by energy, finances, loyalty, and focus. The exhaustion and isolation of caregiving is real, but often invisible even to those who see them daily.

This workshop will describe critical issues in caregiving, look at practical resources for accompanying caregivers, and explore a spirituality of caregiving and pastoral care for both the caregiver and those who care about them.

In today’s secular and isolated society, Pope Francis’ call to transform the parish as “a center of constant missionary outreach” is more important than ever before. Now is the time to bring the healing message of Christ’s mercy to persons who are poor and marginalized—as Pope Francis says, to go “out from the sacristy and into the street.’’

This workshop presents pastoral approaches based on insights drawn from The Joy of the Gospel and the social doctrine of the Church.

Sponsored by RENEW International In a culture consumed by apathy and darkness, Catholics should always remain prepared to give a reason for their HOPE. Inspirational Speaker Greg Wasinski and musician Michael James Mette collaborate to offer scriptural reflection, stories of faith, and music as ways for participants to gain a greater understanding of the Theological virtue of hope.

Additionally, we will visit ways to imitate Mary as she says “yes” to God’s call, even when the road is filled with obstacles, twist and turns.

Many classrooms could be classified as “hostile work environments.” It is a room filled with people that don’t necessarily want to be there who will lie, cheat, not listen, disrespect you and others, put forth minimal effort, and even sleep while you attempt to do your job. What must we do to break past the “teacher-student” barrier and reach a place where Truth is not only shared, but fallen in love with and then actively lived? We must think of ourselves less as “teachers” and more as “classroom evangelizers” who have the chance to invite students to meet Jesus, provide opportunities for meaningful encounters with Him, and then build relationships with them as they build a relationship with Christ.

Who are these young adults we keep hearing about? We know that young adults are craving more… but where do they go? From college students to parents of young children and those who are single or married or in between. We will discuss concrete ways to invite, gather and empower young adults to be active in their faith. How do we find them and what do we do with their gifts? Is the phrase “young adult” part of the problem? Young adults have a place in our parishes, we just need to find it.

Sacred Music for Liturgy and Catechesis — Santiago Fernández

“..An eminent place for catechesis..” reminds us that the liturgy should be the source and summit of our faith lives. Music plays a unique role in this dual experience that feeds the needs of both liturgy and faith-formation. In this session, Santiago will explore music in a variety of styles and forms that was created intentionally for liturgy and catechesis. Come prepared to sing and rejoice!

Catholic Identity in the Age of Francis: Accountability and Witness — Dr. Mary Carter Waren

New and increased accountability measures, both for fiscal and human resources, as well as accreditation and performance standards for our schools and parishes, can easily become the central focus of our work. At the same time, Pope Francis continues to raise public expectations, both in and beyond the institutional church, by his words and actions, about how we are to live with the poor, each other, and the world. This should be a perfect alignment for furthering the Catholic identity of our work, if only we can respond creatively to this new reality. How might we creatively respond to this moment with the new energy of Pope Francis to the timeless message of the Gospel in a way that brings life and hope to our work and the world? This workshop will include presentation, discussion, as well as practical materials for use in your own context.

The Efficient Minister: Save Time, Save Souls — Chris Bartlett

There is urgency in sharing the Gospel. Ministry leaders lack a variety of resources including the vital resource of time. Whether you are a full time minister or a volunteer, what would you do if you had an extra 2-10 hours in your ministry schedule? What would you do if the week before the next retreat or big event you found yourself with extra time?

What could God do through you? What could God do in you? Come be equipped with a variety of ways to save and shave time off of your work week. Drawing from the best practices found in the business world, Chris Bartlett, MA in Theology and BA in Business, Marking, will share methods for efficiency in multiple areas. Burnout is so common in the field of ministry. This very practical workshop can save you time and your calling!

Amoris Laetitia: The Family as a Sign of Mercy — Peter Kennedy

It is no secret to those who work in and around the Church that family life can be and often is a very messy business. This reality was not lost on the Synod Fathers as they examined the situation of families in the world today. In his summary document, Pope Francis offered a number of critical insights on this reality pointing to an understanding of family that embraces both mercy and the Cross.

The Myths of Forgiveness — Fr. Joseph Rodrigues, SDS

Forgiveness is fundamental to our faith tradition as Catholic’s. Jesus’s focus on forgiveness and mercy was pivotal to his mission and message. The inability to forgive or be forgiven impacts our whole being and quality of life. As apostles of Jesus today, we should reflect and act beyond the challenges of forgiveness in our own lives. There are many myths that we have either learned or misunderstood about forgiveness. This session will debunk the myths that have prevented many of us from experiencing the healing and peace that comes from the forgiveness of self and others. Is there anything unforgivable?

Christ the Master-Teacher: 12 Ways to Become a Better Religious Educator — Jared Dees

“You call me ‘teacher’ and ‘master’ and rightly so, for indeed I am” (Jn 13:13). Christ is the model for all religion teachers and catechists. He was called both master (leader) and teacher by his disciples and showed them the way to follow in his footsteps. To become better leaders, we have to become better servants. To become better teachers, we have to become better disciples. With twelve exercises and meditations from the book, 31 Days to Becoming a Better Religious Educator, participants will take steps to becoming better disciples, servants, leaders, and teachers. This workshop is more than a professional development opportunity, it is an invitation to enter into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ, our master-teacher, in order to become better witnesses of his life and teachings.

One that the app had to be free, two that the app didn’t need a student account, and three that the finished product could be saved to the camera roll on the iPad. We then said think of a person that is important to your subject taught and from there we created five different projects to use in the classroom using Shadow Puppet Edu, Sock Puppet, Popplet Lite, YAKIT Kids, and Trading Cards.

If Attraction Were Liquor, We’d All Have a Buzz — Tom McCabe

Attraction is a strong emotion. When drawn to a beautiful person, you can certainly feel inebriated. And when that attraction is topped off with desire, then now you’re definitely ‘under the influence’! So how do you know if it is love or something else? Love is complex. Everybody seeks it. But what if the complexity could be simplified, and counterfeits could be easily revealed? From a biblical perspective, Tom McCabe uses pop culture, the arts and humor to discuss what attracts us and what sustains lasting love.

With relate-ability and refreshing insights Tom unveils attraction, desire and love to reveal their inherent good!

Christianity and Science — James McGill

This presentation will explore the thought of the Catholic theologian, John Haught, who has developed a theology of nature that sees the discoveries of modern physics and biology as making essential and positive contributions to traditional theological issues such as creation, the origin of human nature, the future of the cosmos and resurrection.

Haught’s thought provoking perspective affirms core values of our faith tradition but also shows how these values must be understood and interpreted in light of contemporary science. He makes helpful distinctions between science and its expanding realm of knowledge on one hand, which serves faith, and materialistic naturalism which sees no role for the divine. We will examine how science, understood rightly, is an ally of faith and is assisting the church in seeing traditional categories of belief with greater authenticity and relevance in the twenty-first century.

Spirituality of Administration — Ann Garrido

Administration is often critiqued both by those within the profession and without as work that takes good, fun-loving people and turns them into anxious curmudgeons, but it doesn’t have to be that way.

With these cultural backgrounds frequently come diverse perspectives on everything from how to communicate with each other to how to understand God. In addition, such cultural divisions all too often manifest differences in the access these communities have to parish decision-making structures.

This session addresses the realization that there is a lack of empathy in our family and greater communities for abuse survivors who are struggling to overcome the abuse and trying to live and thrive in ‘normal’ lives. Abuse has no prejudice to class or race, and it is important to recognize and empathize the healing journey our family, friends, co-workers, students and neighbors might be going through. This program will bring the awareness to this crisis situation with the intent to make a change. As a teacher, lay leader, minister, family or friend, discover what you can do to help the abused.

We bandy the term Paschal Mystery about without really understanding the depth of its meaning and purpose in our everyday life. It is a beautiful way that our faith tradition has integrated the natural circle of life: Living, dying, and rising! It happens all the time, all around us, in us and through us. Sadly, we live life missing how relevant these experiences are to the fullness of life eternal here on earth and in heaven. If you are tired of being among the “walking dead,” consider all the transitions you have gone through and are going through.

Pope Francis is calling all people to focus on mercy in our daily lives. Join us as we explore the Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy and how these time honored teachings of the Church offer us an inspirational framework on how we should treat one another as we faithfully live out the teachings of Jesus.

What opportunities – within the parish and diocese - come to your mind when you hear “adult faith formation?” If we think outside the box, might imaginative ideas, distinctive designs, abundant approaches, meaningful methods and productive plans develop and flourish – responding to the needs, the time-schedules, the searching and hopes of today’s adults? This workshop will explore some practical possibilities that have been tried and tested.

The Importance of Accompaniment when Walking the Faith Together — Shelly Bole Based upon the ancient Hebrew practice of apprenticeship, faith accompaniment (also known as coaching or mentoring) assigns a coach to a neophyte to walk alongside in their faith journey. It is Pope Francis’ principle of graduality – taking a person where they are at in their faith and drawing them toward the ideal. Accompaniment permits and assists people to take one step at a time toward holiness, with their own personal coach who models, affirms and challenges the neophyte. Accompaniment can be used in a myriad of ways: accompanying parents/couples through the baptismal or marriage process and the first few years of parenthood/married life; accompanying new parish members through one liturgical year. The possibilities are endless. In this workshop participants will learn the key principles of faith accompaniment and why it is one way of living the great commission Matthew 28:19.

Do this! — Fr. Victor Reyes

Eucharist is ritual action. Like any ritual it has the power to shape, strengthen, and transform the people involved in the ritual. Like any ritual, its power, its very reality, depends upon the people knowing what they are doing and accepting the implications of what they do, accepting the implications of what the ritual says and means. This session will explore how Eucharistic worship enhances ecclesial service. It will articulate how through participation in the Eucharist we are fortified, evangelization is fostered, the zeal for catechesis is nurtured in the people, light and strength are given to the faithful to meet human problems, and human rights find their confirmation in the message of Christ.

Unconditionally: Finding Jesus in the Eucharist — Greg Wasinski

This session will discuss the manner we help parishioners look beyond the appearance of the Communion host in order to refocus on the fruits and attributes of Christ found in the Eucharist. By journeying through a combination of Saint quotes, Scriptural encounters and Catechism references, we will bring to light once again why this Sacrament is the source and summit of our faith. Using practical language and down-to-Earth examinations, along with personal reflections, Greg Wasinski will offer an inspiring illustration of the ways we are accepted, connected, forgiven, led, loved and redeemed through the Eucharist. These insights will invigorate you to lead your parish community into an encounter with our Lord each time they approach the Table of the Lord. With this foundation, we will help build a church on the shoulders of lifelong Catholics rooted in a relationship with Jesus Christ, crucified and resurrected, through the gift of Holy Communion. Regardless of where your people are on their faith journey, this topic will help you generate ideas on how to once again remind them of how they are loved unconditionally and need to return to offer themselves to the Father in the same manner. Other related resources will be available.

Two Ways of Leading: Evaluating Leaders through the Lens of Scripture — J.Lee Whittington, Ph.D.

A 201/202

Spiritual leadership is a process that occurs as the individual leader makes a fundamental choice to yield to the work of the Spirit in his or her life. In Galatians 5, Paul makes a distinction between walking in the spirit and walking in the flesh. Building on this, I develop the idea that leaders may choose between “two ways of leading.” This distinction provides the basis for evaluating leadership in any organization. Leaders may choose to lead from “the flesh.” This form of leadership is characterized by the “negative” one another principles such as devouring and provoking others. Leading in the flesh results in the factions, dysfunctional competition, and self-aggrandizing attitudes that are called “the deeds of the flesh.” In contrast, when a leader is being led by the Spirit, the organization will reflect “the fruit of the Spirit.” Those who choose to be led by the Spirit will create a sense of peace, joy, gentleness, and kindness among their followers. These organizations will be characterized by the positive one another principles, which include “love one another,” “encourage one another,” and “bear with one another.”

He’s the senior Vatican analyst for CNN, the author of ten books on the Vatican and Catholic affairs, and a popular speaker both in the United States and abroad. The London Tablet has called Allen “the most authoritative writer on Vatican affairs in the English language,” and renowned papal biographer George Weigel has called him “the best Anglophone Vatican reporter ever.” When Allen was called upon to put the first question to Pope Benedict XVI aboard the papal plane en route to the United States in April 2008, the Vatican spokesperson said to the pope: “Holy Father, this man needs no introduction.” That’s not just a Vatican judgment. Veteran religion writer Kenneth Woodward of Newsweek described Allen as “the journalist other reporters – and not a few cardinals – look to for the inside story on how all the pope’s men direct the world’s largest church.”

Allen’s work is admired across ideological divides. The late liberal commentator Fr. Andrew Greeley called his writing “indispensable,” while the late Fr. Richard John Neuhaus, a conservative, called Allen’s reporting “possibly the best source of information on the Vatican published in the United States.” Allen’s most recent book is The Francis Miracle: Inside the Transformation of the Pope and the Church, from Time. John divides his time between Rome and his home in Denver, Colorado. He grew up in Western Kansas, and holds a Master’s degree in Religious Studies from the University of Kansas.

El hombre no es un ser solitario: vive en sociedad. Es un zoon politikón. El Derecho se hace presente en las relaciones humanas, En la vida social de las personas. El D es algo connatural a la vida en sociedad. «Ubi societas, ibi ius». Obviamente No puede explicarse el D de la Iglesia sólo desde la perspectiva societaria; pues la Iglesia Es: designio trinitario destinado a la salvación del género humano; realidad sobrenatural.

En el DC existen elementos: 1. DIVINOS y 2. HUMANOS. La dimensión jurídica es intrínseca a la naturaleza de la Iglesia. Esta tiene su propio D: el DC en el que el D divino constituye su núcleo fundamental que estructura e informa toda su realidad.

Los Padres de la Iglesia Me Convencieron! — Joel de Loera Jr.

Desde los once años de edad, comencé a alejarme de la Iglesia. Vivía una vida desenfrenada donde las drogas, el alcohol y el sexo eran mis dioses. Aunque mis padres me llevaron a la Iglesia desde pequeño para recibir los Sacramentos de Iniciación, yo no tenía idea de quién era Jesús y mucho menos de que se trataba el catolicismo. A la edad de veinte años, toqué fondo. Fue entonces cuando mi madre me convenció a vivir un retiro espiritual. En ese retiro, yo tuve un encuentro poderoso con Dios. Desde entonces decidí cambiar mi vida pero no sabia como empezar. Algunas de mis amistades no-católicas comenzaron a retar mi fe. No sabía cómo defender mi religion porque ni yo mismo estaba convencido. Fue entonces cuando un sacerdote me invitó a leer acerca de los Padres de la Iglesia...y ellos me convencieron. ¡El resto es historia!

El libro de Jonás forma parte de lo que la tradición llama “el libro de los doce profetas” o “profetas menores”, sin embargo se trata de un texto que difiere radicalmente de los otros escritos proféticos, tanto en su género literario como en su presentación del personaje central. Este librito nos presenta el retrato en negativo de un profeta de Israel.

Quizá precisamente por eso podemos identificarnos mejor con él. Jonás es un espejo en el que muchos de nosotros vemos reflejado nuestro camino de descubrimiento de la misericordia divina y de sus implicaciones en nuestra vida. En esta charla haremos una lectura atenta del libro de Jonás con miras a una aplicación pastoral y espiritual.

Patrocinado por Neuhoff School of Ministry El ejemplo de Cristo nos deja ver cómo al transmitir la fe Él sabía adaptarse a la edad y psicología de las personas: su terminología, comparaciones y contenido reflejan su capacidad de entender a su interlocutor. Los catequistas y padres de familia deben ser conscientes de que los niños evolucionan en su psicología - también en lo que se refiere a la fe- es decir, en su modo de entender, aferrar y asumir el contenido de fe que les transmitimos. Conocer las etapas de esta evolución en el alma y psicología del niño en lo que se refiere a su sentido religioso nos ayuda a ser más eficaces en la transmisión del mensaje del Evangelio. Esto significa “Caminar Juntos en la Fe”.

El apasionante mundo del adolescente, ¿es posible entusiasmarlos por su fe? — Irma Delgado

Indiferentes y apáticos… o buscadores incansables que anhelan una nueva relación con Dios, natural, experiencial, razonada, atractiva, de la que puedan sentirse orgullosos.

La transmisión de la fe a los adolescentes representa un reto apasionante que requiere la capacidad de verlos de manera diferente, tomando como punto de partida sus necesidades existenciales. ¡Nunca dando respuestas a preguntas que no se han hecho!

Una reflexión desde el pensar y sentir de los adolescentes ante la clase de religión y sus grandes necesidades existenciales.

Venga a descubrir la Enseñanza y Experiencia actual de la Iglesia con respecto a la familia a través de un análisis de las principales catequesis impartidas en el último Encuentro Mundial de las Familias en la ciudad de Filadelfia. Analizaremos los puntos principales que cada cultura aportó a este encuentro y cómo responden a la necesidad de evangelizar y formar/catequizar a nuestras familias en el mundo de hoy.

Terminaremos con las exhortaciones del Santo Padre dirigidas específicamente a las familias hispanas inmigrantes en los Estados Unidos. Descubra porque tenemos un tesoro que es necesario valorar, defender y transmitir con la participación de cada miembro de la familia.

La publicación de la exhortación postsinodal “La alegría del Amor” trajo consigo una discusión centrada en tan solo dos puntos: la comunión de los divorciados vueltos a casar y el matrimonio entre personas del mismo sexo. Esto ha motivado el desconocimiento de la riqueza de un documento que es la guía de la familia cristiana en un mundo que ha “globalizado la indiferencia”. Frente a este hecho, debemos rescatar dos cosas: 1. La revolución de la Misericordia a la que nos invita el Papa Francisco, junto con los padres sinodales. 2. Los “10 Mandamientos de la Familia cristiana del Siglo XXI”.

El Amor y la Misericordia de Dios como Alma del Liderazgo Parroquial — Fr. Jorge Rodriguez, STD

El alma de todo apostolado que es la caridad. El liderazgo espiritual y humano que vemos en Jesús le viene, no solamente del hecho de ser el enviado del Padre para nuestra salvación, sino también de su capacidad personal de amar a los hombres. En la vida parroquial hay diversas formas de liderazgo, tanto laical como clerical, pero todas ellas encuentran su fuerza y eficacia en la gracia y en el amor que los líderes muestran por sus hermanos. A diferencia del liderazgo en el mundo que con frecuencia se base en la atracción personal, el prestigio y la fama, el liderazgo en la Iglesia atrae en fuerza del amor y del servicio. Es importante detectar el modo en que cada forma de liderazgo y cada ministerio en la parroquia atraen a otros a Cristo por medio de la donación personal en el servicio y la sincera comunión en Cristo.

La música y su impacto catequético: ¡cantando y enseñando! — Gerardo “Ialo” Salazar

“Cantar es propio de aquel que ama” decía San Agustín. La Escritura también nos recuerda en diversos pasajes la importancia del canto y la música en diferentes contextos que incluyen la litúrgica hasta la vida ordinaria. Hoy en día la catequesis tiene en la música y el canto un poderoso medio para comunicar las enseñanzas del evangelio y la vida cristiana católica. Este taller te ayudará a ver la manera práctica de integrarla y aplicarla en nuestros ministerios, aun cuando muchos de nosotros nos sepamos tocar un instrumento o cantar, la música puede ser debidamente seleccionada para que ayude a cumplir los objetivos de nuestros ministerios.

Desde el principio de su pontificado el Papa Francisco ha hablado y le ha dado énfasis de construir una Cultura de Encuentro. En su Exhortación Apostólica Evangelii Gaudium no. 24, él nos señala lo que esto significa para nosotros. El Papa nos dice que pertenecemos una Iglesia “en salida [la cual] es una comunidad de discípulos misioneros que primerean (o sea toman la iniciativa), que se involucran, que acompañan, que fructifican y festejan.” En esta presentación reflexionaremos como la Teología del Cuerpo nos da los cimientos precisos para construir una verdadera Cultura de Encuentro como nos pide el Papa Francisco.

Los católicos de habla hispana han estado activos en lo que hoy en día es los Estados Unidos casi dos veces más el tiempo en que esta nación ha existido. Pero desgraciadamente hay poco conocimiento de la larga historia del pueblo hispano y sus contribuciones numerosas a la vida de nuestra Iglesia en este país. Este taller examinará tal historia. Tendremos un enfoque especial en los Encuentros Nacionales Hispanos de Pastoral, la base del proceso del V Encuentro que actualmente la Iglesia está viviendo hacia el 2018 Encuentro Nacional en Fort Worth.

Hay de mí si no evangelizo aquí y ahora — Fr. Abelardo Cobos

Uno de los desafíos evangelizadores en estos tiempos modernos es como llegar a nuestras nuevas generaciones, la respuesta es muy clara: el concilio Vaticano II nos dice que tenemos que responder a los “signos de los tiempos”, pero cuáles son estos signos de los tiempos?, La noción de modernidad entendida como un mejoramiento en las condiciones de vida de la humanidad ha generado el desarrollo tecnológico, la Iglesia en estos tiempos es mejor entendida y vivida por medio de la tecnología y los medios sociales de comunicación desarrollando una labor evangelizadora sin límites. En esta conferencia apreciaremos el uso de la tecnología y los medios de comunicación social como la radio, televisión, cinematografía, páginas web, Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, etc. Medios que no solo son necesarios sino vitales para la evangelización moderna y que nos ayuda a que nuestras nuevas generaciones entiendan y conozcan mejor el mensaje del Señor.

La tecnología en la catequesis: ¡recursos e ideas! — Gerardo “Ialo” Salazar

10-26

El Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica no. 1641 dice que “la gracia propia del sacramento del Matrimonio está destinada a perfeccionar el amor de los cónyuges, a fortalecer su unidad indisoluble. Por medio de esta gracia se ayudan mutuamente a santificarse en la vida conyugal y en la acogida y educación de los hijos.” En otras palabras el camino hacia la santidad es un requisito para que los esposos puedan crear un hogar de amor y misericordia dentro de su matrimonio y familia. En esta presentación veremos que una de las consecuencias más sorprendentes de la enseñanza de Juan Pablo II en la Teología del Cuerpo es que los esposos no tienen que buscar su camino de santidad fuera de su misma relación. Según el Papa, el mutuo amor y misericordia compartida por los esposos es ya un sendero, su forma específica de vivir el Evangelio.

La catequesis y la tecnología son compatibles y pueden hacer una fusión pedagógica.

El mundo moderno desafía al catequista de hoy con los nuevos avances vanguardistas También en de la tecnología que a veces sobrepasan nuestra capacidad. Sin embargo, en este taller el Periodo 14 aprenderemos con ideas muy básicas y prácticas para utilizar los recursos tecnológicos que tenemos a nuestro alcance y hacer de ellos un recurso que nos permita transmitir la enseñanza de Cristo con efectividad, sin miedo y de un modo transformador. No importa a la generación que pertenezcamos, todos estamos expuestos a usar prudentemente para fines evangelizadores los medios tecnológicos del mundo moderno.

¿Eres un líder, clérigo o laico que trabaja en una parroquia católica y que lucha todos los días por llegar a las diversas comunidades étnicas, lingüísticas y raciales cada vez más presentes en su parroquia? Estos grupos poseen como parte de su cultura diversas formas de ser y de pensar, desde cómo comunicarse con los demás hasta la misma concepción de Dios. Además, esas diferencias culturales a menudo implican una mayor o menor posibilidad de acceder a las estructuras de gobierno dentro de la parroquia.

En Construyamos puentes, no muros - Building Bridges, Not Walls, John Francis Burke muestra el impacto tan grande que los latinos están teniendo en las parroquias del país; explica la teología de la inculturación y del ministerio intercultural; y ofrece sugerencias prácticas para quienes trabajan en este último.

Hội nghị này hứa hẹn sẽ là một kinh nghiệm tràn đầy đức tin và hữu ích, và sự tham gia của anh chị em chắc chắn sẽ ảnh hưởng đến hành trình đức tin của chính anh chị em cũng như của những người anh chị em gặp gỡ.

Là một hội nghị mục vụ duy nhất ở miền Bắc Texas, Hội Nghị Mục Vụ Dallas đem đến cho những người Công giáo trong vùng này một cơ hội vô song để học hỏi về đức tin qua những nhà diễn giả nổi tiếng trên toàn quốc và tại địa phương về các chủ đề của đức tin, giáo lý, giáo dục, thần học, cầu nguyện và mục vụ. Năm nay chúng tôi vinh dự chào đón diễn giả chính bằng tiếng Anh, tiến sĩ Joe Paprocki, và Đức Giám Mục Luis R. Zarama, Giám Mục Phụ Tá của Atlanta, là diễn giả chính bằng tiếng Tây Ban Nha vào sáng Thứ Bảy.

Trong khi tham dự những tiết học, chúng tôi mời gọi anh chị em đến với nhau trong lời cầu nguyện, tham quan triển lãm, và thưởng thức các tác phẩm nghệ thuật phụng vụ và âm nhạc vào cuối tuần này, chúng tôi cầu nguyện rằng anh chị em sẽ mở lòng và mở trí để đón nhận ơn gọi của Chúa trong cuộc đời mình và mong rằng anh chị em sẽ rời hội nghị này với đầy năng lực và sự trẻ trung.

Xin cảm ơn sự hiện diện, sự tham dự nồng nhiệt, và tinh thần sẵn sàng chia sẻ quảng đại của anh chị em về những gì mà anh chị em học hỏi tại hội nghị này với các cộng đồng Công Giáo nơi anh chị em sinh sống.

Nguyện xin Thiên Chúa là Cha trên trời ban phúc lành cho mỗi anh chị em, và ước mong rằng những kiến thức, lời cầu nguyện và tình thân hữu tại hội nghị này sẽ đổi mới tinh thần và công việc mục vụ của anh chị em trong Giáo Hội!

Trân trọng trong Chúa Kitô,

Nourishing Diverse Cultures in Faith – Alimentar a las diversas culturas en la fe

410 412

Foreword by Kevin W. Irwin In this inviting book Barry Hudock shows us that the eucharistic prayer is indeed the most dynamic and “explosive” moment of Christian worship—in fact, of Christian life. Hudock takes us back to the beginnings of formal eucharistic worship in the early church, then forward to Vatican II and beyond, unpacking and exploring the eucharistic prayers old and new in words and concepts accessible to all of us. He also offers us a set of points for a eucharistic prayer spirituality to prepare us for the explosion into life that is the whole purpose of our being.
