Office of the Archbishop

My Dear Friends in Christ:

It is a great joy for me to extend a wann welcome as you attend the 1990 Religious Education
Congress.
Our theme this year, "Voices that Challenge", is drawn from the Gospel of Matthew. The 1990's
truly hold the promise of being a time of challenge for all involved in catechetical ministry and
the various workshops and speakers at the Congress provide an excellent opportunity to exchange
ideas, renew friendships and rededicate our service to the Church.
As we come together for the 1990 Congress, let us respond to the call by continuing to grow in
understanding, truly living out our faith, and listening to the voices that challenge us to be
followers of Christ.

Asking the Lord's blessings upon you and all of your efforts in catechetical ministry, I am

eb

Dear Friends

It is a great joy to welcome all of you to Congress 1990!

We are very pleased and enthusiastic about the direction, content

and many fine speakers featured this year. Our theme "VOICES
THAT CHALLENGE" is taken from reflection on the Readings of the
Fourth Sunday of the year. These words call us to share the good
news with courage, conviction and a deep trust in God's presence
among us. We are challenged to be poor in spirit, to be open and
willing to risk, so that we may indeed be at the service of the Reign
of God!

As relig'fous educators, we give witness that it is possible to open

our hearts and lives to the transforming Gospel message and, in
turn, help transform the world and make it new. That is our
challenge and our responsibility. Congress 1990 is a wonderful
opportunity for us to gather as CHURCH, to listen to God's voice
as it comes to us in so many ways through the workshops, talks,
music and community and worship experiences.

We welcome you, again, to this wonderful faithfilled event.

Sincerely,

� �r��sc_,
Sr. Edith Prendergast, R. S. C.

INTEGRATION IN HISPANIC YOUTH
Jeanette Rodriguez-Holguin
Her image is present in every Mexican/Mexican-American
household - but do we really experience the·power and challenge

story again - but this time with your mind, heart, and strength.

INTIMACY: NO ONE NIGHT STAND
(2B)
Intimacy is a key to teaching sexuality to

intimacy.

these questions and that topic.

"ARE THERE REALLY 'TWO'
WORLDS ...THE 'REAL''WORLD AND
THE 'CHURCHY' WORLD?" (3F)
For many people, especially many young
adult catholics, the language, routine and daily exercise of
working, relating and living have little connection with the world
of church, faith, and religious practice. Good Faith, good
Catholicism is rooted in the daily, the routine, the secular. This
workshop will offer the practical strategy to help young adults
and everyone make the connection between the "Real" World
and the "Church" World.
"HERE COMES EVERYBODY: A NEW WAY OF LOOKING
AT PARISH INVOLVEMENT" (7E)
It has been said that the traditional parish is for school age kids
and their parents. Yet, today and in the foreseeable future, many

categories. This workshop will offer suggestions to integrate and
invite particularly young adults, who often don't fit the mold,
into fuller presence and participation in parish life.

"EASTERN SPIRITUALITY'S FOCUS
ON MYSTICAL UNION WITH GOD:
CHALLENGE TO RECOVER THE
UNITIVE WAY OF PRAYER IN
CHRISTIANITY" (9J)
Since the end of the Middle ages Christians have focused on
legitimate themes such as sin, justification; morality, virtue;
peace and justice - yet all these concerns are only fulfilled in
something deeper: mystical union with God in Jesus by the Holy
Spirit. W here? W ITHIN! Eastern spirituality challenges us to
retrieve, renew and continue, our own focus on mystical union,
the life of the Trinity now within, later in heaven.

''WOMEN AND MEN: THE CHALLENGE OF EQUALITY"
(3J)
W hen the issue of male-female relationships is discussed, what is
often described is complementarity, not mutuality. The two are
different. This session will reflect on the meaning of various
expressions used to describe male-female relationships: Com­
plementarity; Equality; Mutuality; "Masculinity", and "Femi­
ninity". It will further examine the tasks that lie ahead as women
and men continue in their journey to share their voices in
mutuality.
"I CALL YOU FRIENDS: THE CHALLENGE OF IN­
TIMACY"(7H)
One of t.he major challenges in both church and society is to
enable human persons to experience and sustain healthy rela­
tionships in their lives. This session will examine the connections
between intimacy and self-disclosure; between reverential love
and the capacity to be vulnerable; and between healthy relation­
ships and effectiveness in ministry. We will look at what it means
to give intimacy a voice in the everyday world of relationships.

"PRAYER AS JOURNEY INTO THE
HEART OF GOD" (3K)
During this session we will reflect
together on prayer as primarily a disposi­
tion of openness and surrender that accompanies us throughout
our life. Our primary focus will be on prayer as a means of heal­
ing: the healing of our memories, of our past, of our ancestry,
our culture and our universe. We will touch on the need for
transforming our energies and channeling them toward the
good. We will reflect on Jung's theory of the unconscious to
give our considerations an interesting psychological basis.
"BREAKING WITH THE OLD, BIRTHING THE NEW"(SK)
This session will focus on life as an ongoing movement into
God. We will discuss developmental issues and explore life
choices as well as their consequences in relation to our call to
holiness. Our emphasis will be on facing, celebrating as well
as mourning the past while creatively embracing the future. The
need for honesty, courage and gratitude will be explored.

------------------
"JESUS, PAUL, AND THE WOMEN IN THEIR LIVES" (7L)
Jesus and Paul advocate freedoms for women that continue to star­
tle and disquiet. Stories of gospel women have special significance
as an integral part of the revelation of the God of surprises.

"WHAT MID-LIFE CAN DO FOR YOU PSY­
CHOWGICALLY AND SPIRITUALLY"(6H)
Mid-life years can bring opportunities for
development in one's cognitive and affective life. They also present
a chance to become more realistic about one's mortality, relation­
ship to God and destiny. The talk will discuss these realities.
"THE PSYCHOLOGICAL AND S PIRITUAL NEEDS OF
AGING ADULTS" (8H)
The sunset years of life bring with them special requirements,
if one is to live in peace and with enthusiasm. Others are needed
for support and companionship, if one is to stay fully alive and
keep growing through this golden period of opportunity.
Rev. James Goode, OFM

He has preached and lectured nationwide
in dioceM! and archdiocese, as well as
numerous colleges and universities. Fr.
Goode earned his Ph.D. in psychology
from Union Graduate School.
"FROM MISERY 10 MAJESTY" (3N)
As christian educators and ministers in our local churches, we
should be calling the faith community to a celebration of their
majesty. Along the journey of life there is a choice between
misery and majesty. If we are alone in this world, then it's
misery. But if we believe that there is a loving God who knew
us even before we were formed in our mother's womb, then it's
majesty. That's something to celebrate.
"LIVING ON A P ROMISE: YES! I AM!" (4P)
The stress of daily living and the prsssure just to make it,
challenges each of us to ask the question: What keeps me go­
ing? Our Christian commitment moves us to respond: "It's on­
ly because of the promise of Jesus Christ, our liberator and
savior." Therefore, our voices in the marketplace cry out: "I am
living on a promise, yes, I am."
Ms. Greer G. Gordon
Ms. Gordon is the Director of the newly

"INCULTURATION AND BLACK CATECHETICS" (lH)

tween culture and the study of God as it forms the basis for
a meaningful sharing of the Word of God. It will address
specifically, Black and Hispanic Cultures, along with the
broader expression of European Culture in America.
"CATECHESIS IN INNER CITY S CHOOL S" (SN)
This workshop will address the educational strategies and
methods needed to 're-order' the minds of inner city children,
thereby better preparing them for the life-long process of faith
development.

lifestyle of culturally deaf people and how the Church best
responds to them.
"CHURCH ATTITUDES 10WARD DEAF PEOP LE" (8J)
Deacon Pat will raise questions on how deaf people's needs have
been met in typical "deaf ministries," what language was used,
and what culture was dominant. Immediately following this
workshop, a prayer service, unique to the Deaf cultural experi­
ence, will be celebrated.

A Professor of Moral Theology at St. Patrick's Seminary, Fr.
Gula holds a Ph.D. in Christian Ethics from St. Michael's
College in Toronto. He has given many sessions of clergy,
education, and adult education.
"JESUS AND DISCIP LESHIP" (4Q)
The people who fascinate us have a greater influence on the
moral life than abstract principles do. This session will look at
the normative role of Jesus in the moral life and sketch a portrait
of discipleship to show the convergence of the moral life and
the spiritual life.
"THE CHURCH AND THE MORAL LIFE" (7M)
Most of the attention given to the role of the Church in the
moral life has focused on magisterial teaching. The role of the
Church is much broader than that. This session will look at
the Church as shaper of moral character, as bearer of moral
tradition, and as a community of moral discourse.
Matt Hayes

---------------------�---
"FAMILY PERSPECTIVE IN YOUTH MINISTRY" (lM)
The best youth programs sponsor the most activites, right? Not
so. Sometimes, we fragment family life with overcrowded youth
ministry programs. This session will explore simple, practical
adjustments to bring a family perspective to your work with
teens. We will dispel several myths about teens and their families,
and see how a family's sensitivity can actually enhance the
quality of youth ministry.
"MINISTRY FOR PARENTS AND FAMILIES OF TEENS"
(6K)
What's the Youth Minister's responsibility for ministry to parents
and families of teens? Who are the other ministers you should
partner with? This session will address these questions, and ex­
plore practical ideas and strategies for building good relation­
ships with parents of teens and developing support networks
and effective programs for adolescent families.

"CHILDREN'S SACR AMENTAL
INITIATION - WHAT IS IT? HOW DO YOU DO IT?" (3P)
This session will talk about whaJ: the RCIA says about children's
catechumenates and will outline the implication that has for
all sacramental preparation processes in a parish.
"FAMILY CENTERED CATECHESIS: TRIED AND FOUND
WANTING OR Nor TRIED" (8K)
This session will describe the difference between Religious
Education for families and Family Centered Catechesis. It will
present principles and models for developing family centered
programs and processes.

recently, he was the Director of
Maryknol/'s Washington Office of
Justice and Peace. He has now begun a
graduate program in pastoral counseling.
"CATHOLICISM AND AMERICAN CULTURE: CAN THEY
CO-EXIST? (SQ)
The American catholic community is being called to be a -
community of conscience. We live out our faith and discipleship
in the cultural context of our nation. At times, our faith and
our culture intersects. At other times, both coincide. More often,
-
our faith and our cultural values collide. Our cultural setting
is a 'voice' that challenges us. The participants will reflect on
what cultural contexts are congenial to God's revealing. The
Gospel will be brought to center stage. Hopefully, that will lead
the participants to discern where our faith and national values
- intersect, coincide or collide.
" 'THY KINGDOM COME' ARE Nor MERE PIOUS
WORDS" (7Q)
Restore the centrality of the Kingdom! Kingdom, Reign,
dominated Jesus' preaching, gave meaningfulness to His activity
and provides the key to understanding His mission. Stress will
be placed on the inseparability of evangelization and the pro­
clamation of justice and peace. There will be a reaffirmation
of the transnationality of the Church and its responsibility to
live out its' 'mark' - catholic.

Director of "Cornerstone Media, Inc." in

music radio show dealing with
relationships.
"SAME WRD, NEW SOUNDfRACK"
(lN)
Jesus talked fish to fisherman and grapevines to agricultural
people. Why wouldn't Jesus talk rock 'n roll to young people?
This workshop will explore ways to incorporate popular music
into religious education.
Kathleen Kircher

American Conference of Separated and
Divorced Catholics, Inc. She is a frequent
consultant and speaker to professionals
on family transitions, addition recovery,
etc. Ms. Kircher holds an MS. in Ado­
lescent and Adult Counseling, Boston
College.
"ADDICTION, CODEPENDENCY
AND RECOVERY: PASTORAL
IMPERATIVES" (6L)
This workshop examines the underlying truths about addiction
and codependency, the power of shame and guilt, the amazing
spread and success of movements for adult's children of
traumatized families, codependent elements within church,
family, school, etc. and reasons why recovery from toxic shame
and compulsive behaviors constitute conversion. Learn how
shame-based persons reclaim their lives as valued children of
God.

more useful.
AVOIDING BURNOU T AS A MINIS TER" (4W)
There are too few people to do the work of the Church, this
is a condition that is not really new to our day. The minister
who would avoid burnout must learn how and when to say no!
Although we do not often look at the ministry of Jesus to
discover how often he says no, the instances are many. This
presentation will try to free ministers to say no!

A course on the sacrament of marriage
needs to be based on a solid biblical and
theological base. This we will explore in a way that might be
helpful for teaching such a course. We will also consider some
of the more serious problems which marriage experiences today
and the way in which theology might help.
"EUCHARIST. ISSUES THAT CHALLENGE" (8M)
In this session we will consider the several major challenges
which the Eucharist presents to us today: Eucharist and
ecumenism; Eucharistic devotion outside of Mass; Eucharist
and women; Eucharist and parish life; Eucharist and the shor­
tage of priests.

"I WAS IN PRISON AND YOU CAME 10 ME: SlORIES OF
A PRISON MINISTER" (8P)
Your sentence from the judge still rings in your ears: "for the rest
of your natural life." You fear being raped, stabbed. No family or
friends ever come to see you. You gravitate between utter despair
and boredom and rebelling openly against guards or fellow inmates,
which lands you in the "hole," solitary confinement. Then one
day, out of the blue, a guard says to you, "You have a visitor... ".

summarize the basic principles of leadership development in
a collaborative church by providlhg a model to appreciate one's
own leadership in the midst of community as a process of
personal and group transformation beginning with oneself that
involves: attention to vision, meaning through communication,
trust through steadness and positive self-expression.
"LEADERSHIP IN THE CHANGE PROCESS" (6U)

for community development. This session will focus on the

cultural and social, and institutional. It will also analyze what

THE CHURCH: IS THERE A
DIFFERENCE?" (4Y)
We belong to the Church and we belong to Jesus. But does He
belong to the Church? And, would he come to Mass on Sun­
days if he didn't have to? It's a puzzlement. "He in us and we
in him" may get us started on an answer.
"HOW MANY BIBLE TEXTS DO YOU KNOW BY
HEART?" (6Y)
We know that evangelizing - spreading the good news of salva­
tion - is at the heart of being Catholic (Mt. 28:18-20; Lk.

Jesus was a greater quoter of the Bible. It is the surest and best
way to testify to him, provided we know what we are talking
about.

"EVOLVE OR PERISH" (2X)
For the first time in almost 1700 years we are being called to
live at the same faith level as the New Tustament church. We
must do an in-depth diagnosis of the quantum leap that Chris­
tianity is undergoing today. A surface knowledge of current
events since Vatican II will not suffice. We are all working hard
in ministry; the question is: Are we working smart? This diag­
nosis is vital both for successful ministry today, and for the
development of future church.
"MAKING SCRIPTURE COME ALIVE" (SY)
We can no longer "do" scripture in isolation. It must be done
in the context of the Primal Christian Experiences. These ex­
periences are the Primal Cry for More (uncovering the deepest
longings of the human heart), the Primal Religious Experience
(necessary for all other religious experiences), and the Primal
Cry for Help) to have love encounters with Christ and others).
In the context of these, scripture comes alive and we uncover
its primal purpose: to be an encounter-causer.

INFORMACION ACERCA DE LAS SESIONES
Queridos/as Catequistas,
Una vez mas se acerca el tiempo de nuestro Congreso 1990, que
tiene como tema VOCES QUE DESAFIAN.
Como catequistas y personas dedicadas al ministerio de la
Palabra, ustedes son esas voces que desafian a nuestra sociedad
y al mundo a que eschuchen y sigan el mensaje de amor y
justicia que Jesus nos di6.
Como de costumbre, los talleres que se han marcado con
asteriscos (•) se pueden acreditar a su re-certificaci6n; aunque
todos los talleres les serviran para su formaci6n y renovaci6n
cristiana.
Hemos planificado las conferencias de
estos dias deseando que la Palabra sea a
la vez un motivo de desaffo para ustedes
en su vida personal. Que las voces de las
miles de personas que nos reunimos cada
afio en Anaheim se oigan fuertes y
retadoras, y nos animen a continuar la
extensi6n del Reino de Dios.
Su hermana en Cristo,
Maruja Sedano
Directora Asociada
Les doy un carifioso saludo mientras empiezan a finalizar sus
planes para asistir nuestro Congreso de 1990.
Patrocinado por la Oficina de Educaci6n Religiosa de la
Arquidi6cesis de Los Angeles, el Congreso es un evento anual
de calidad y excelencia que simboliza la dedicaci6n e inspiraci6n
de todas las personas involucradas en ministerios catequeticos
alrededor de los Estados Unidos y otros continentes.
Durantes estos cuatro dias tendran una buena oportunidad para
obtener enriquecimiento y renovaci6n en su ministerio a traves
de conferencistas principales, talleres, liturgias eucarfsticas, ser­
vicios de devoci6n, y conciertos.
Este Libreto de Registraci6n contiene informaci6n acerca de
transportes, vivienda, y un mapa nuevo
del area del Centro de Convenciones de
Anaheim, para guiarles y familiarizarles
en el local del Congreso. La sinopsis
breve de los varios talleres les ayudara al
planificar su participaci6n.
Les desaffo a que hagan tiempo para
asistir este evento, pues, verdaderamente
espero darles la bievenida.

"LAS PROFETISAS DEL ANTIGUO
TESTAMENTO - LAS PROFETISAS
DE HOY" (lSl)
Los ultimos afios han sido particularmente fecundos para la
vida de la Iglesia Latinoamericana y para la dinamica de la
pastoral Hispana. El ministerio profetico ha conocido una im­
portante renovaci6n. Con todo, la reflexi6n y la acci6n de las
mujeres no• siempre es explicita en la conciencia de la Iglesia
y la teologfa. Procuraremos ver el ministerio profetico de las
mujeres de hoy a la luz del ministerio profetico de las mujeres
del Antigua Tostamento.
"LA PRACTICA LIBERADORA DE JESUS FRENTE A LAS
MUJERES" (4Sl)
Un hecho claro del que recientemente tomamos conciencia, es
al largo silencio sobre la practica liberadora de Jesus en relaci6n
con las mujeres. Durante siglos, la lectura masculina de los tex­
tos sagrados han pasado por alto esta importante dimensi6n
del ministerio de Jesus. Si la Buena Noticia de salvaci6n se dirige
preferentemente a los marginados, los pobres y rechazados, ha
de incluir necesariamente a las mujeres. Este es el tema central
de nuestra reflexi6n.
"LA ACCION DE LAS MUJERES EN LA IGLESIA
PRIMITIVA" (7Sl)
Para darnos una idea de la importancia que adquiri6 la mujer
en la comunidad de discipulos convocados por Jesus, haremos
una rapida consideraci6n de us pasaje que arroja luz sobre las
responsabilidades que asumi6 la mujer en el naciente movimi­
ento cristiano como SUJETO activo en la difusi6n y extensi6n
de la Buena Nueva del Reino. Se trata de la pedcopa de la mujer
siro-fenicia. Porque se la llama "la antigua madre apost61ica"?
A esta luz, veremos el perfil de nuestra propia acci6n en la
Iglesia hoy.

"DIOS Y EL NINO; EL NINO Y EL ADUL'IO" (5Sl) (7S3)
Los niii.os sienten la presencia de Dios aun cuando nadie les
hable de El. Sienten que le conocen sin haber oido de el. Pero
cual es la relaci6n que hay entre el niii.o y el adulto, como es
que el adulto guia al niii.o hacia Dios. Cuales son los sentimien­
tos del niiio hacia Dios, y como es que las creencias y actitudes
de los adultos influyen en el niii.o. Todo esto deberemos de
saberlo para enseii.ar al niii.o.

tuto cat6/ico de Paris, Francia, y ha

"EXODO HISPANO" (2S2)
;.Por que estamos perdiendo un numero significante de her­
manos y hermanas hispanos de la Iglesia Cat6lica'? 1,Que
podemos hacer para hacerles sentirse bievenidos'? ;,C6mo
podemos hacer que la Iglesia Cat6lica sea mas atrayente y como
un "hogar" para aquellos que estan llendando su hambre
espiritual y la necesidad de una comunidad en otras religiones.
Esta sesi6n intentara de contestar estas preguntas dificiles.
"UNA FE, MUCHAS CULTURAS" (4S3)
En sus charlas en Los Angeles, <!I Santo Padre dijo que Jesus
es hispano, negro, coreano, filipino, lituano, polaco, y mas. Lo
cierto de Jesus tambien es cierto de la Iglesia. Aun aquellos que
hablan espaii.ol, representan muchas culturas. Esta sesi6n
comunicara los elementos de cultura y c6mo podemos abrazar
nuestra propia cultura mientras extendiendo la mano como gesto
de aceptaci6n a los que son diferente que nosotros.

"LLAMADOS A SER Y HACER - Parte I" (5S2)
El crecimiento humano-cristiano en un joven con conciencia
llega a una encrucijada: o ser o no ser, o hacer o no hacer. Su
desarrollo depende de formaci6n, tanto humano como cristiano
para ser adultos maduros y responsables. Para el joven cristiano
de hoy, seguir a Jesus no es saber su catecismo bien, es saber
c6mo responder al desafio-de Jesus: Sfgueme.

"PARTICIPACION DE LOS FELIGRESES EN EL R.I.C.A."
(8S3)
El proceso del catecumenado exige la participaci6n activa de
todos los miembros de una parroquia. Debemos darle la bien­
venida a "una comunidad". En esta sesi6n se vera los diferentes
modos en que podemos participar en el proceso y los que nos
exige a cada uno.

"SIGUIENDO A JESUS EN 1990" (9S3)
Viendo al Jesus del evangelio, su vida, mensaje, denimcias a
la sociedad de su tiempo y a las actitudes de las autoridades
judfas; el catequista tiene que sentir el reto de ser consecuente

"EL MODELO DE IGLESIA DEL P LAN PASTORAL" (8S4)
El Plan Pastoral no solo nos propone programas y proyectos,
ante todo nos presenta un modelo de Iglesia misionera, muy
diferente al comun que vemos y vivimos. l,Cuales son sus
caracteristicas? Fundamentos biblicos de este nuevo modelo.

" LA GRAN CARIDAD DE ESTE
SIGLO ES RACER JUSTICIA" (3S3)
Una comunidad que esta separada, es racista, no puede
evangelizar. Nosotros veremos a nuestra vocaci6n profetica
como Iglesia en el mundo de boy, para ser una voz para los
debiles. Si nosotros nos tratamos de evangelizaci6n, debemos
tomar en serio el ejemplo de Jestis en nombre de aquellos no
deseados en este mundo.
