WHAT IS
CONGRESS?
The
Religious Education Congress, sponsored by the Archdiocese
of Los Angeles Office of Religious Education, is the
nation's largest annual gathering of Roman Catholics!
Our last RECongress, held in March 2012, brought together
nearly 40,000 people during the four-day weekend! We
had registrants from across the country and as far away
as Ireland and Australia.

 YOUTH
DAY SCHEDULE
The full Youth Day
schedule in now available online —
along with the registration form. (Online registration
is coming.) Youth Day, with its theme "Keep Calm
—
God's Got This," will have the same new format that
began last year, with two separate Tracks (1 & 2) that
allow all participants to celebrate liturgy with Archbishop
José Gomez and hear our featured Youth Day speaker Fr.
Tony Ricard. We suggest that you share the list of speakers
with your young people and allow them to choose
those topics that interest them. Also, review the schedule
and select the track that best serves your group. Each
group will still choose a second workshop (along with
a back-up choice) to attend in the Convention Center.
Those workshops will still be offered both in the morning
and afternoon. Check the Youth Day Schedule and the
Workshop listing online.

SPEAKER FEATURE: FR. RICHARD
ROHR, OFM
 Friday,
February 22, 2013
3:00 - 4:30 pm - Session 3-23
"Immortal Diamond: The Search for Our True Self"
Fr. Richard Rohr uses
the title of his last book to lead us on a mining operation.
What is the self that Jesus says “must die” and what
is the self that must be found? What is wonderful and
what is difficult about this search? Why is it so foundational
to all healthy religion? How does God work in the soul
to achieve the discovery of our own “immortal diamond”?
Sunday, February
24, 2013
10:00 - 11:30 am - Session 7-22
"Breathing Under Water: The Gospel and Recovery"
Fr.
Richard Rohr teaches that the 12 Step program of Alcohol
Anonymous (AA) mirrors and makes very practical the
message of Jesus and helps us recognize we are all addicts
in some way – surely to our way of thinking – and need
a way out and through. He considers the program and
the specific American contribution to the history of
spirituality.
Fr. Richard Rohr,
a Franciscan priest of the New Mexico Province, founded
the Center for Action and Contemplation in Albuquerque,
N.M., where he currently lives. He is also founder of
The Rohr Institute and its Living School for Action
and Contemplation. Fr. Rohr divides his time between
local work and preaching/teaching around the world.
He has made several audio and video recordings, and
is best known for his writings, which include “The Naked
Now” and “Everything Belongs.”
