Are you suffering from PCS?
You're not alone. It's true: There are many who look forward to Congress, and when it's over they
suffer from PCS - Post-Congress Syndrome. If you're feeling a little "postpartum" depression,
here's a little "Congress fix" to help ease the suffering! On our Congress site you'll find updated photos from Youth Day, links to recorded workshops, take our online Congress survey, see the transcripts from the Cardinal's online chat sessions, new video
segments, and more....

ONLINE
We invite those of
you who attended Congress 2009 to tell us about your
experience. Much thought and effort has gone into
planning the RECongress. Please tell us how effective our
efforts have been by completing our online
evaluation form. We’d like to hear from you, especially
if you would rate any event as “excellent” or “poor.”
Please let us know the reasons for your evaluation at
the end of the survey in the “Comments” section.
For those
who filled out the paper version of the form: if
possible, we ask that you also please take the online
survey. We can tally our information much sooner using
the online method.
See who came to
Congress! This year for
Congress 2009, we have registrants representing every
state in the nation -- except four: Arkansas, Maine, New
Hampshire, and Vermont.
You can find details on number of registrations by state
and country, as well as the top cities in California for
registrations on our Congress statistics page, online at

CARDINAL CHAT TRANSCRIPTS
|
On Friday morning at Congress,
Cardinal Roger Mahony
conducted two online chat sessions from the Tech Center in the Exhibit Hall. First, in a private chat with 12
seventh- and eighth-grade students from St. Elisabeth School in
Van Nuys, Calif. Then the Cardinal switched to an open, nationwide
chat, hosted by ChurchWerks and moderated by Ellie Hidalgo. This was the Cardinal's 13th annual chat from Congress, and
only his fourth on-site with a school.
See the transcript from the Cardinal's student chat at
archive.recongress.org/chat2009s.htm
Left something behind at Congress?
Each year after
our Religious Education Congress event there are a great
many unclaimed items -- glasses, bags, books, jackets --
that end up in our Lost and Found.
Please contact the Congress Office with what you seem to be
missing, and we'll see if it's among our Lost and Found
items. You can find contact information online on our
Lost and Found page.
For Facebook Members Only:
See what the Young Adult Ministry (YAM) has
been up to at Congress. This year, Jessica
Coblentz invited people to the Office of
Religious Education (ORE) booth on Friday where
they could record a video of what they enjoy
about Congress -- a favorite speaker, favorite
liturgy, anything that you'd like to share about
Congress.
