Jan 26: SATURDAY KEYNOTE ANNOUNCED:
Jack Jezreel
“Gathered and Sent: Saints, Prophets and Martyrs on a Mission”
The Gospels, the legacy of holy witnesses, and Vatican II speak of a Church that, at its best, gathers and sends. While this fundamental dimension of our faith tradition has struggled to see full expression in the local parish, the future of American Catholicism holds some exciting and promising prospects if we are willing to renew the possibilities of parish purpose and structure.
Jack Jezreel spent six years in a Catholic Worker community before turning his attention to transformative education. For the last dozen years he has given 40-50 presentations annually, including continuing education opportunities for priests, deacons, religious communities as well as keynote addresses for Pax Christi, St. Vincent de Paul, Catholic Charities USA, and the National Association of Diaconate Directors. Jezreel is the original author of “JustFaith” and serves as founder and Executive Director of JustFaith Ministries, based in Kentucky.
Jan 24: Workshops assigned to rooms. Workshops are not actually assigned to rooms until we get about 5,500 registrants. We then run a projection of attendance and assign the most popular workshops to the Arena and the larger rooms.
Jan 24: Our featured advertisers now appear on our RECongress.org home page and will be included in our future Congress Emailings.

Jan
18: Book announced
and released at Congress: "Grace Abounds: A Call to Awaken
and Renew Your Faith" by Sr.
Edith Prendergast, RSC with a foreword by Cardinal Roger Mahony. Sr, Prendergast is a
member of the Religious Sisters of Charity and for 23 years has been Director of the Office of Religious Education in the Catholic Archdiocese of Los
Angeles and director of the archdiocese’s annual Religious
Education Congress.
In this collection of rallying keynotes from the annual Los Angeles Religious Education Congress, Sr. Edith Prendergast issues a clarion call to both conversion and renewal, inviting readers to enter more deeply into the mind and heart of Christ and to live as his messengers in the Church and the world. Sr. Prendergast’s compelling spiritual vision is enriched by her skilled use of Scripture, the saints and mystics, and contemporary writers and poets. She also draws from the little epiphanies of ordinary, everyday life -- be they the words of a child or the insights of a homeless man. With a spirit of reverence and delight, each reflection harmonizes a host of voices that both inspire and energize her readers.
