Come and explore the daily life of Jesus! What was Jesus’ real life like in first-century Palestine? How much can we really know about his daily life as a carpenter? How did that real life affect his teaching? Fr. James Martin will introduce you to the latest discoveries about Jesus’ life in Nazareth.

Jesuit priest Fr. James Martin is Editor at Large of the Catholic magazine, America. He is author of numerous award-winning books including, most recently, “Building a Bridge” and “Seven Last Words” in addition to “The Abbey,” “Together on Retreat,” “Between Heaven and Mirth,” “The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything” and “My Life with the Saints.” Fr. Martin is a frequent speaker at national conferences, retreats and parish groups and has given presentations at the L.A. Congress for the past several years.

We live in dark and difficult times. For many people this feels like being mired in a swamp, unable to move quickly in any direction. For others, it is like a dance with death, wondering if the end is near. Whether we view our situation individually or culturally, we must learn how to rise up into a new mature religious consciousness. Perhaps the late-Middle Ages poet Dante has some helpful wisdom for us to use in these uncertain times.

Fr. Jim Clarke is Director of New Evangelization for the Los Angeles Archdiocese.

His work and further education has taken him to Israel, Mexico, Canada, Africa, Europe, Australia, Guam and American Samoa.

8-03 Deepening Our Appreciation of the Resurrection of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ

Two weeks after the Religious Education Congress ends, we will gather in our churches to celebrate the Resurrection of Christ on Easter Sunday. This workshop will take us through the Resurrection narratives in the Gospels that we will hear at Mass. We will uncover the power of the symbolic language and subtle references to the earlier life of Christ found in these narratives. Hopefully, we might discover the intensity of faith found in his disciples and say proudly with them, “We have seen the Lord!”

Fr. John Cusick, a priest of the Chicago Archdiocese, served as creator, coordinator and Director of their Young Adult Ministry from 1970-2013. He also was an adjunct faculty member in the Department of Theology at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana.

“Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and curing every disease and every sickness” (Mt. 9:35). Inspired by the threefold ministry of Jesus Christ, participants will uncover a practical approach to evangelization: heal the wounded; proclaim the Gospel; and teach the faith. Using highly practical tools with stories of successful saints and ministries today, Jared Dees will help participants uncover ways in which they can live out the New Evangelization through the imitation of Jesus by healing, proclaiming, and teaching the communities in which they serve.

Jared Dees is creator of the website The Religion Teacher, which provides resources for religious educators. He is also author of “Praying the Angelus,” “31 Days to Becoming a Better Religious Educator” and “To Heal, Proclaim, and Teach.” With a background of teaching in Catholic schools, Dees has been a catechist for the past eight years and has offered workshops and keynote addresses at dozens of dioceses and parishes across the country.

Generations of biblical women have “risen to the occasion” to confront injustice, to speak truth to power, to exercise assertiveness, and to impart wisdom. Come and discover how their stories and choices can be transformative for today.

The current divisions in cultures and politics have been compared to a new “tribalism.” Sometimes these tensions are felt in our schools, parishes and dioceses. If God could gather the 12 tribes of Israel into a unified Chosen People, why not us in our time? Together, we will draw inspiration from Bible history and the recent gatherings of “Church tribes” at the Tekawitha Conference, Black Catholic Congress, Encuentro and the Eucharistic Congresses of Deaf, Asian-Pacific, Caribbean, African Catholics and others. Bring your experiences and share what the Holy Spirit is doing in our Church.

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where it is hard to hold onto hope? At times life’s journey feels like stepping out into total darkness. Anyone who has faced a time of serious transition knows how this can feel. Hope is the candle of faith that scatters the darkness and sees us through the Paschal Mystery. Becky Eldredge, an Ignatian-trained spiritual director and retreat leader, shows you how to nurture hope, to explore your deepest desires when the way forward seems unclear so that you can find the path you were meant to follow and become the person you were created to be.

Becky Eldredge is an Ignatian-trained spiritual director, retreat facilitator and author of the book, “Busy Lives & Restless Souls.” With two decades of ministry experience, she has led young adult retreats, parish missions, Ignatian retreats, and days of reflection for adults.

In our death-denying society, people are increasingly planning a “celebration of life” instead of a funeral or doing away with rituals altogether. Afterward, many mourners feel abandoned and alone as they struggle with their grief. How can our parishes do a better job of supporting our families through the experience of death? Learn the essential elements to implement from the Order of Christian Funerals with ways to explain the various rites to families. Learn an integrated model for how your parish bereavement ministry can serve and comfort people in the long term. Find out how to not only comfort those who mourn, but touch hearts and change lives.

Albert Einstein said that imagination is more important than knowledge. This is so true when it comes to prayer!

Me, a saint? Hardly! Yet, in this session, we will look at the lives of three saints who affirm the holiness of our own experiences. They, as we will one day, have exchanged their crosses, challenges and longings for a crown of glory. Come, hear what they can teach us and leave feeling encouraged!

How can we inspire our children and teens to not only know and love their Catholic faith, but to share it with others? In this session, we’ll examine how to educate and inspire today’s “wired” generation to look to the saints as role models for the courage and mission-mindedness to rise up and boldly encounter a world greatly in need of their gifts. Looking at saints who made a difference, this session will empower us and the families we serve to identify and be empowered by our spiritual gifts to serve our Church, our communities and our world.

8-12 Engaging the “Nones”: Evangelization of the Inactive and Disaffected

The fastest growing religious groups in the United States are the unaffiliated: the “nones” who do not connect with any faith community, closely followed by inactive and disaffected Catholics who have detached from the practice of the faith. But hope is not lost. There are creative and compassionate ways to engage these men and women, many of them in the Millennial Generation. This session will give insights and tools for Catholics looking to reconnect the disconnected, using key learnings from the work of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and the upcoming synod on “Young People, the Faith, and Vocational Discernment.”

Midway through his seminary training, Fr. Satish Joseph came to new realizations about discipleship. As he often says, “My primary calling is not to the priesthood, but to be a disciple. My priesthood is an expression of my discipleship.” Using his pastoral experience at Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception Parish in Ohio, Fr. Joseph will share insights for taking the individual call to discipleship and forming communities of disciples. Over the year, under his pastorship, the parish has developed a new consciousness of being a community of disciples. In this session, Fr. Joseph will share step-by-step strategies for transforming parishes into communities of disciples.

Ordained in India, Fr. Satish Joseph has served the Cincinnati Archdiocese for over 16 years. He serves as Pastor at both Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception and at St. Helen in Dayton, Ohio.

He is also founder of Ite Missa Est Ministries, which offers adult faith-formation programs.

Working with children in search of a relationship with Christ and the Church is challenging. When given the time for trust to develop, to form bonds within a community, to have a sense of God’s presence in their lives and be supported by family and members of the parish, the children begin to have an awareness of faith. The period of the Pre-catechumenate offers children a foundation to be built upon as they move into the next periods of the process. It is important that we offer the Rite of Christian Initiation process within God’s time and not our own.

Blessie La Scola has been active in the areas of catechesis, sacramental preparation and faith formation.

In a culture of instant results and doing less to gain more, it is easy to let our faith fall into that trap. Growing in holiness is not a five-step process – it is a relationship. Growing in holiness is rooted in love and enriched though prayer. In this session, we will explore together keys to enriching our faith and sharing it with our family.

A diocesan director and former parish Director of Religious Education, he brings experience and insights to explore best practices (in areas including marketing, administration, planning, and catechist and parent formation) to thrive in this privileged ministry role.

We are rediscovering the role of the kerygma (from the Greek, meaning preaching) in our ministry efforts. Without the proclamation of the kerygma, our evangelization and discipleship efforts will not be fruitful for it is the kerygma that awakens the missionary disciple. But what is the kerygma and how does it transform us from being consumers of faith to being active disciples who engage in mission? In this workshop, participants will experience the kerygma through Scripture, reflection, music and imagery and leave with practical materials on how to apply the kerygma in their life and in their ministry.

In his encyclicals, Pope Francis writes about the frailties and fragility of people. He wants the Church to be careful with people. In his teachings, he has described what some people have called a “revolution of tenderness.” In this workshop, we will consider how two principles – accompaniment and discernment – can help us to be tender in our dealings with people. In this way, we can engage with the “wonderfully complicated” situations we confront. Through the pursuit of tenderness, we will reconsider how we can help to revive our ministries and restore the dignity of young and old alike, and together, to gently heal a fragile world.

8-24 WE are Always in Need of Reform: The Western Church in the 14th Century

In this workshop, we will take a look at a most chaotic and desperate period of the life in the Western Church: violence, corruption and greed from top to bottom mark the long days of the 14th century. In an age of war, climate change and disease, women and men respond with hard work and prayer and sacrifice to lead the Church out of the pit. We will review the papacy in France, the Western Schism, the saints and the scholars.

In order to reach people we aren’t currently reaching, we need to do things we aren’t currently doing. Sharing new ideas and trying something new always comes with fear. If we do not deal with fear, it can keep us from the good work God wants us to do. In this workshop, we will look at five key ways to overcome the fears that are a part of doing ministry in the Church.

Một hạt cát lọt vào trong con sò sẽ gây ra một vết thương. Con sò phải chịu đau đớn và mất một thời gian dài, dùng chất xà cừ trong chính mình nó bao bọc lấy hạt cát, biến hạt cát thành viên ngọc quý. Lớn lên trong một xã hội đa văn hoá, con cái chúng ta – những người trẻ Mỹ gốc Việt – có thể gây đau khổ cho chúng ta. Việc hàn gắn vết thương này cần có sự gắng công và thời gian lâu dài, từ đó có thể đưa đến một kết quả tuyệt vời.

When a hard grain of sand cuts into the soft tissues of an oyster, the oyster spends a long time building layer upon layer of nacre to deal with the harsh intruder, resulting in a precious pearl. Growing up in multiple cultures, our children – young Vietnamese Americans – can leave us feeling hurt. Healing this wound requires much work and much time, and may produce a precious result. We will discuss the steps of this pearl-making, including the excruciating patience it requires.
