This year Congress will have its first-ever "live" webcast! Know someone
who can't make it to Congress? Share the Congress experience
with them through RECongress.org/LIVE. Experience this outpouring of grace and enthusiasm
of Congress right here on the web at our new "live" site: archive.recongress.org/LIVE.
Join the fun and excitement as we stream "live" from the Anaheim Convention Center Arena,
beginning Friday, March 19th at 8:30 am PST through the Closing Liturgy on Sunday at 3:30 pm PST. Videos will remain available for 24 hours after the
event.
CARDINAL MAHONY CHAT
Have a question to ask Cardinal Mahony? Here is your chance
to do just that. Send your question NOW to be submitted
during the chat session on Friday, March 19, 2010.
Since 1996 Cardinal Mahony has conducted an online chat
session (originally on CompuServe, later with AOL, and now
with ChurchWerks). This year he will first conduct a private chat with school
students from the archdiocese (this year with St. John Chrysostom School), and then in a nationwide chat session
that YOU can join in. This is this the Cardinal's 14th
annual online appearance and one of the highlights for the
40,000 attendees at the four-day event.
CONGRESS VOLUNTEERS
Congress could not function without the hundreds of volunteers who give of their time. All pre-registered volunteers are required to attend the Volunteer Meeting that will be held on February 23, 2010 at 7:30 pm at St. Vincent School Hall, 2333 S Figueroa St, Los Angeles, CA 90007 (between 23rd St. and Adams Blvd.).
If you aren't on the Volunteer list and you
are interested in volunteering, we always have a need for Eucharistic Ministers for the two Closing Liturgies in the Arena.
We
also have a need this year for three volunteers to help the florists on Wednesday, March 17, 2010
(the day before Youth Day). Activities include unloading supplies, preparation of flowers, delivery of arrangements and other jobs as needed. Some activities require lifting. Time: 10:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Parking fee will be provided.
NOTE: If you've submitted an email to RECflowers@la-archdiocese.org, please do so again. We've had trouble with that email address.
You can find more
and contact information on our
Volunteers page.
HEAR MORE OF CONGRESS
Congress
2010 offers 8 periods of some 35 workshops totaling 315
possible sessions by 188 speakers. You just can't possibly
hear them all! But you can hear more than you attend. Many of
the speakers at Congress have given their permission to
record their workshop. (NOTE: Delegate recording of any
workshop or general assembly is not permitted.) CSC Digital
Media offers selected sessions from current and past
Religious Education Congresses available on Audio CDs (since
2006) and Cassettes (only through 2008). Find 10 years of
your favorite Congress speakers on our "Recorded at
Congress" link page.
