4-01 Speaking Prophetically for Justice – Principles for Christian Prophecy Arena

A prophet makes a vow of love, not of alienation. But that isn’t easy to do. How do we speak out for justice in ways that will help melt hearts rather than freeze them? How do we avoid speaking out of anger rather than out of love? How do we speak for the margins in such a way that God’s message cannot be marginalized? How do we avoid falling into ideologies of the left and the right? How can we speak prophetically in a bitter time? Here are some principles for a Christian prophecy.

4-02 CAMPUS MINISTRY TRACK: MISSIONDRIVES SCHEDULE, AND MONEY FOLLOWS MISSION

We are excited to offer this one-day track on college campus ministry. Participants will spend all three workshops with a community of those who serve college students, faculty and staff on university campuses, and will come away with enriching conversations, connections and tools to improve your ministry. Please be sure to register for all three Saturday sessions: 4-02, 5-02 and 6-02.

Mission drives every facet of church life, impacting planning, program, preaching and personnel. It determines what we say “yes” to and when to say “no.” It is the heartbeat of a congregation’s movement as a community. When mission is well articulated and lived out in our college campus ministries, money follows. This workshop will give practical advise on how to help articulate your college campus ministries’ mission, how to live the mission on our college campuses, and how money follows mission.

For many decades, we have expanded our understanding of the relationship among liturgy, belief and daily living. But in separating these categories out for reflection, we often create stark divisions between them that miss their porousness in the practice of everyday life. This workshop will explore the fluid relationship between liturgy, belief and daily living, rooting us in a theology that sees all of life as sacred, and pointing us toward what it means to live, pray and believe eucharistically.

4-04 Touch Me Jesus, Heal Me Jesus, Love Me Jesus: Music and Prayer for the Broken

This workshop is both an encounter of healing through word, song and action, as well as a session filled with inspiration and practical ideas for sharing moments of healing prayer with your parish or with small faith groups. John Angotti and Fr. James Marchionda will help you discover the healing power of Jesus, and ways to share this gift with others in your community through music, Scripture and other forms of prayer.

Based in Memphis, Tenn., John Angotti is a full-time music missionary providing concerts, workshops, retreats and worship.

“We are not God,” Pope Francis declares. But we walk this Earth as if we are. This is a problem for our beautiful planet, which is also our home. Scripture and science agree that the universe as we know it will come to an end one day. What’s our responsibility to this fragile planet while it’s still in our power to act? This session anticipates the upcoming California Catholic Conference bishops’ pastoral on our common call to stewardship for the environment.

Alice Camille is a full-time freelance lay Catholic author and retreat leader, religious educator and conference presenter.

We may know that faith is caught rather than taught, but how should that affect what we do in family faith formation? The early Jesus movement went “viral” long before social media, exploding as the Gospel spread from person to person. Learn how we, as Catholics, understand evangelization and how we can help families pass on the faith from one generation to the next and one family to the next. This practical, realistic workshop will offer key insights and many specific, real-life examples about how the faith can be shared among catechists, parents, and children.

Paul Canavese with his wife, Ann, are co-Directors of The Pastoral Center and the websites GospelLiving.org (focused on daily life) and GrowingUpCatholic.com (focused on coaching parents).

Canavese lives with his family on a mini-urban farm in Alameda, Calif.

For millennia, humanity has debated the question: Is our future predetermined or do we have choice? Catholic teaching answers this question in support of free will, but is choice possible in a world governed by laws of physics? In this presentation, we will explore two related questions: What does science tell us about free will? How do Lenten practices increase the exercise of our free will? Participants will learn how understanding the science of free will has deep implications for our relationship with God and why it makes sense to leverage Lenten practices to empower our choices.

Michael Dennin has served for 21 years as Professor of Physics and Astronomy at the University of California, Irvine, where he is also Vice Provost for Teaching and Learning.

Prof. Dennin is a popular speaker at churches and schools, building on his book: “Divine Science: Finding Reason at the Heart of Faith.”

At Pentecost, the first disciples were propelled forth by the Spirit, from the comfort of the Upper Room out into the world to evangelize. Do our parish and catechetical ministries embrace Pope Francis’ call to remember that “Jesus is the Lord of risk, of the eternal ‘more,’ not the Lord of comfort, security and ease” (World Youth Day 2016). How can we leave our comfortable Upper Rooms (even virtually!) to make connections with a generation that has shown that they will not come knocking on our door? Fr. Dave Dwyer will speak about how we can be more proactive in reaching young adults.

Paulist priest Fr. Dave Dwyer is Executive Director of Busted Halo Ministries, publisher of BustedHalo.com and YoungAdultMinistrylnaBox.com, presenter of the “Sacraments 101” videos and host of “The Busted Halo Show” on Channel 129 on SiriusXM radio.

4-09 WHAT CAN AND CANNOT CHANGE: UNDERSTANDING THE DYNAMICS OF A LIVING TRADITION

One of the most pressing questions underlying the Second Vatican Council, a famous theologian once opined, was the problem of change and development. Catholicism is grounded in a living tradition, yet it is constantly under threat by a superficial fascination with contemporary fads on the one hand and the preoccupation of traditionalists who wish to cling to a dead past on the other. This workshop will explore how genuine change and development are necessary if our tradition is to be a living one.

Dr. Richard Gaillardetz is the Joseph Professor of Theology at Boston College, where he is also Chair of the Theology Department.

Rape, molestation, seduction, sexual exploitation and sexual harassment have all become exposed in the Church. The perpetrators and their silent accomplices who hid or overlooked such acts are slowly being identified. Sadly, not all are known. The whole of the Church must learn how to recognize, report, protect and guard against this evil – and must participate in healing the brokenhearted and wounded in our midst. This session will address the sexual exploitation crisis in the Church. An analysis of what has happened will be presented, while offering concrete suggestions as to how the whole of the Church should proceed in correcting this problem.

She is currently a theological consultant for a social service collective in South Louisiana.

As the Church faces the challenges of engaging and retaining our youth and young adults, we need to retrieve the wisdom of St. Augustine – that the most enticing appeal of Christian faith is to the heart first and only later to the head. To what hungers of the heart does Christian faith appeal? Dr. Tom Groome will demonstrate how to craft the Christian story so as to engage people’s deepest desires.

Dr. Tom Groome is Professor of Theology and Religious Education at Boston College School of Theology, and Director of their Church in the 21st Century Center. The award-winning author has written or edited 10 books and numerous articles and essays.

A favorite speaker of the Religious Education Congress; this marks his 38th year of giving presentations.

Many presentations about morality emphasize rules and avoiding sin. That remains good advice. But we also need to consider what makes anything sinful, how to form our consciences and what a sense of vocation has to do with all of this. Too often, considerations about morality are given without attention to the complex issues we face every day – issues for which there is no obvious right or wrong answer, but that can have significant impact on our relationship with God and others. Who we are as persons (and members of communities) and what should be our goal in life, need to be an essential part of any discussion of morality.

Marianist priest Fr. James Heft is Alton Brooks Professor of Religion at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles and President of their Institute for Advanced Catholic Studies.

In 2011, the Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities honored him with the Theodore M. Hesburgh Award for his long and distinguished service to Catholic higher education.

4-13 Instructions for Living a Life: Pay Attention. Be Astonished. Tell About It.

Today, let us practice the sacrament of the blessed present. Using American poet Mary Oliver’s wise instructions: Before we decipher life, let us see life; before we give in to “if only,” let us hear this moment; before we trade in this life for the life we should have, let us taste this life. We make the choice to be open, available, willing to be surprised by joy, to know there is power in the word “enough.” We carry this capacity to honor the present into every encounter and relationship. We honor the dignity that is reflected by God’s goodness and grace, a place to invite mercy, encourage, heal, reconcile, repair, pray, celebrate, restore, refuel. Count me in. Join me.

4-14 Neuroscience and Well-Being: Technology, Our Brains and Our Spiritual Lives

Our smart phones and computers are wonders, but they also bring some not-so-wonderful consequences to our bodies, brains and spiritual lives. In this session, we’ll explore the ramifications of digital distractions and how we can harness technology’s gifts to enhance our Christian journey. We’ll also discover helpful strategies to enrich both connected and disconnected times in our lives, deepening our faith and our spiritual paths.

President Trump wants to keep out migrants; for Pope Francis, they are “a new seed of evangelization.” In this session, Dr. Robert Lassalle-Klein, a theologian and advisor to the Seminar on Formation for Hispanic Ministry, will describe the Risen Jesus as revealed to him in the lives of migrants and refugees in his 32 years at the Oakland Catholic Worker. He will explore the biblical basis of the discovery by Pope Francis and Saint Oscar Romero that these migrants and refugees are the historical continuation of Jesus, the migrant Messiah who has revealed that God has chosen to save humanity through the poor and the rejected.

Jesus is the water of life and, in the story of the Woman at the Well, he describes himself as the water of the Spirit that is both thirsting for us and springing up as life and refreshment in the desert. We are given a thirst for God, for the Word-made-flesh, for justice and peace (God’s thirst) at our baptism. This thirst is meant to grow stronger all ways as we drink from the wells of the Word and of the Poor – the least, the lost, the longing, the last – and can only be quenched by great gulps of God’s presence among us and by sharing his cup with others. Come, drink deeply.

Non-Catholics are confused by Mary. Feminists, perplexed by Mary, recognize her unique and powerful role in salvation history. From academics to artists, Mary is a sign of wisdom, hope and beauty. For most Catholics, they have no idea or underappreciate who Mary truly is, why she matters and how to incorporate her presence into their spirituality in an authentically Catholic lifestyle. Fr. Leo Patalinghug, who has earned an advanced degree in Mariology from Rome, shares what he has learned to audiences around the world, presenting a realistic and joyful message, theologically rich and practically helpful to integrate Mary’s presence in the life of the faithful.

We all know the statistics: People spend more time on their phones than with their friends. We spend time with the people we love looking at our screens. We waste hours a day with a thousand little distractions. But there is an even darker side to distractions, and it might not just cost us our time and productivity ... it could cost us heaven.

The General Directory for Catechesis (GDC) set forth the process of evangelization – and the place of catechesis within that process – and continues to be an indispensable tool for all those engaged in ministry. As a companion to the GDC, the National Directory for Catechesis (NDC) builds upon the core themes of the GDC. In many ways, the GDC and the NDC can be thought of as addressing the how of evangelization and catechesis. The Holy See has recently issued a revision to the GDC. Wondering what that revision looks like? Come and see!

Born in Ireland, Julianne Stanz is a nationally known speaker, retreat leader and storyteller.

Our catechetical efforts should reach everybody in the parish, including those who are at the margins of society. Today, many are struggling with how to relate and identify with the Church. If we listen carefully to the challenge of Pope Francis, we need to bring mercy to those people that are forgotten by society. In this workshop, we will focus on five strategies that will pull us out of our everyday routine in catechesis and look for ways to align our catechetics with those who normally do not “fit” into our definition of catechesis. We will discuss concrete recommendations on how we can accomplish these goals within our communities.

Choir practice is a good time for exploring our own thirst for justice as we improve our musical skills.

Tìm kiếm công lý không phải là điều chỉ cần thực hiện ở những môi trường rộng lớn. Tìm kiếm công lý là điều cần phải thực hiện trước nhất ngay trong gia đình. Tình trạng “chồng chúa vợ tôi” và tình trạng “phụ xử tử vong, tử bất vong bất hiếu” có phải là truyền thống trong văn hoá gốc của người Việt Nam không? Chắc chắn là không. Dựa vào nền văn hoá truyền thống của dân tộc Việt Nam và dựa vào Thánh Kinh, các phần tử trong gia đình Việt Nam sẽ tìm thấy công lý trong gia đình mình.

Seeking justice is not only something to be done through large institutions. Rather, fairness and integrity begin in the home with family interactions and activities. The situations where “husband is lord and wife is servant” or “father tells child to die, child does not obey, therefore child is disloyal” are certainly not in traditional Vietnamese culture. Based on the moral traditions and values of the Vietnamese culture and the Bible, members of Vietnamese families will find integrity and fairness in their own families.
