Welcome Letter
October 2012
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
It is our great joy to welcome you to the sixth annual University of Dallas
Ministry Conference, which is co-sponsored by the university, the Diocese of
Dallas and the Diocese of Fort Worth! We hope that by Walking Together in
Faith over these two days, you will have a blessed, faith-filled, and formative
experience as you attend the sessions, come together in prayer, visit the
exhibitors and sponsoring organizations, and enjoy liturgical artwork and
musical performances.
As we begin the Year of Faith, it is more important than ever that we do
all we can to enrich and deepen our faith lives to better become disciples
of Christ in our communities. The University of Dallas Ministry Conference
offers Catholics an opportunity to receive exceptional faith formation from
nationally recognized speakers who will address relevant topics in faith,
catechesis, education, theology, prayer and ministry. We are confident that the
information offered at this conference will help each of us to live more fully
our communion of faith and to become even more effective ministers to those
whom the Lord has entrusted to our care.
Thank you for your presence, your faithful participation, and your willingness
to generously share what you learn at this conference with your Catholic
communities at home. May God our heavenly Father bless each of you, and
may the knowledge, prayer and fellowship at this conference renew your spirit
and your dedicated ministry in the Church!
Sincerely in Christ,
Most Rev. Kevin J. Farrell, D.D.
Bishop, Diocese of Dallas
Most Rev. Kevin W. Vann, J.C.D., D.D.
Bishop, Diocese of Fort Worth
Thomas W. Keefe, J.D.
President, University of Dallas

General Information
Cell Phones/Pagers
Out of respect for the speakers and other
participants, please turn off your cell phones and
pagers during the sessions and liturgies.
Emergencies
If you have an emergency, contact either a UDMC
staff member, volunteer, or the closest ICC staff.
If you are unable to find assistance, call facility
dispatch at 972-401-7793. Remember, in an
emergency, it is important to stay calm. We do
have EMTs onsite for this event.
Evaluations
This year, we are asking all participants to
complete a general evaluation of the conference,
where you will also be asked to evaluate the
sessions you attended (you will need the session
numbers to complete the form properly). You
can either complete a paper version, which can
be found in the centerfold of this program book,
or you can complete the evaluation online at
www.udallas.edu/udmc/evaluation. Also look
for QR codes with direct links to this evaluation
throughout the ICC. The first 500 people each
day to submit a completed evaluation (either
online or paper) at the evaluation kiosk in the
main lobby on the Exhibit Hall Level (1st Floor) will
receive a UDMC pen as a thank you. Encourage
your co-workers to complete the evaluation as
well! The Parish or School Group that has the
highest percentage of evaluations submitted by
Friday, November 2 at 11:59 PM CST will receive
20 complimentary registrations to the 2013 UD
Ministry Conference.
Exhibit Hall Passport
In the back of your nametag, you will find an
Exhibit Hall Passport. Simply visit the booths of the
sponsors listed on the card, as well as other exhibit
booths of your choice, and have them initial the
card in their designated box. Once you have all
of the boxes initialed, submit this card at the
Evaluation Kiosk just outside Hall A to be eligible
to win 1 of 2 $50 Amazon.com gift cards. Don’t
forget to include your contact information on the
Passport card!
Information
Please see someone at the UDMC Registration
Booths in the lobby of the Exhibit Hall Level (1st

Irving/Las Colinas area, including restaurants and
transportation options, please visit the Concierge

it if you recycled your badge holder after the

The Cross and Crucifixion in
Christian Art
Description of the Display by Novinski Studios
The oldest of Christian symbol is the cross form,
used in many ways for the first five centuries
before the Cross and Corpus were united in what
we have come to know as the Crucifix. The exhibit
of photos of historic examples traces this passage
in time from the decorated crosses, symbolizing
the Resurrection, the glorious cross of victory over
death, to the developed image of the suffering
body at the Crucifixion. The act of redemption can
be viewed as Christ’s self-giving sacrifice and/or
as the painful execution inviting our identification
with the suffering body of the Incarnate God.

orientation, Integration of relevant subjects, and
Kingdom perspective. This does not mean merely
making the class harder, but enabling students
through new methods and class organization
to master and retain material, emphasizing the
correct verbal and technical writing skills used in
the real world, and honoring the Lord and Creator
of such a marvelous universe in the best use of our
minds.

School Board Session | 7:00 - 9:00 pm
SB-01Generate Connectivity: Communication
Tactics, Tips and Tools for Catholic
Education Boards and Councils
Regina Haney, Ed.D. GB 1-3 (4th)
This session will help boards ensure that
their board is communicating effectively and
strategically with key constituencies — and,
in the process, creating the connectivity that’s
essential to ensure that the school(s) thrive. Points
covered will include: 1) Engage board members
in communication and outreach as ambassadors
and advocates, 2) Tips for communicating before,
during, after and between board meetings, 3)
Plan for crisis communication, 4) The role of
social media in strategic communication, and 5)
Communication that will identify great potential
members and persuade them to serve.
This workshop is specifically for School Board &
Advisory Council Members
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 26
Session I | 9:15 - 10:15 am
I-01“I Was a Stranger, and
You Welcomed Me”
His Eminence Roger Cardinal
Mahony Hall A (1st)
Cardinal Mahony will explore the Biblical roots
for our approach to migration and immigration,
will offer a survey of the four waves of American
immigration, will give the Church’s constant
teachings on immigrants, and will give a forecast
of future worker needs in our country as baby
boomers retire.
Session II | 10:45 - 11:45 am
II-01A Place for All - Part One: From
Judgment to Curiosity

John Barone Hall A (1st)
Behavior management in the classroom is more
challenging than it’s ever been. Teachers expend
so much energy trying to meet the diverse needs
of all the students that they often go home feeling
exhausted and discouraged. In this workshop,
we’ll explore beliefs and methodology which will
empower teachers to see and treat their students
in a different way, taking on the role of ally rather
than opponent, and dealing with “misbehavior”
from a developmental perspective, coaching
students toward taking more ownership of their
learning and development. This will result in a
more peaceful classroom, more learning, and
teachers who go home feeling fulfilled rather than
exhausted! In addition, you will learn: 1) How
16
to view “misbehavior” with curiosity rather the
judgment, 2) How to “catch kids being good,”
and 3) How to react to students who behave in
unexpected or undesirable ways.
This workshop may be taken alone or in sequence
with the other “A Place for All” offerings.
II-02Celebrating the Year of Faith with
or Fascinating?!
Mary Lee Becker, M.P.M. MR 6 (3rd)

II-03Gifted and Thriving: Helping Gifted
Learners Flourish Across the Lifespan
Janette K. Boazman, Ph.D. GB 7 (4th)
What is it we want for children and adolescents in
our schools? At the foundational level, we desire
health, happiness, and good schools with good
teachers for all children. We want all children,
regardless of ability, to be in programs that
appropriately address their educational needs. We
desire places where young individuals can develop
their natural abilities, and form and maintain good
and lasting friendships. We want each student to
be successful, academically and personally, and
to move toward happiness, thriving, and a good
life (Sayler & Boazman, 2006). For the gifted, the
development of natural abilities, personal wellbeing, and happiness often manifests differently
than it does for students with normal ability.
This session discusses the theoretical Model of
Giftedness and Thriving (Sayler, 2010), nature and
needs of gifted individuals, and how educators can
help gifted students thrive and flourish.

II-11Year Round Catechumenate:
a Blessing Without Number
Michael R. Prendergast, M.T.S., M.A.
GB 4-5 (4th)
The premise for a year round catechumenate is
found in three guiding principles: “The initiation of
catechumens is a gradual process that takes place
within the community of the faithful...suited to the
spiritual journey of adults that varies according
to the many forms of God’s grace” (RCIA, 4-5).
Inquirers approach Catholic faith communities
throughout the year, whenever the Spirit prompts
them. This is not limited to the academic year
nor to a nine-month model of catechesis. Finally,
as initiating communities, we are called to
accompany each inquirer on a journey of faith
which works in God’s time and with God’s grace.
It takes a lifetime to become a disciple of Christ
and to appreciate the Catholic Tradition. Come
and explore ways to implement a year round
catechumenate in your faith community.

Shepherds on the Edge

Anna Scally MR 8 (3rd)
Taking care of the needs of those you minister to
is rewarding and challenging. The image of the
shepherd looking over, protecting and guiding
the flock is comforting, especially when people’s
circumstances make them long for reassurance of
being taking care of. Original shepherds were on
the edge of society, while trying to do their work.

Rev. Msgr. Peter J. Vaghi, J.D. GB 8 (4th)
One of the major themes of the Second Vatican
Council, in fact, one of the leitmotifs of the entire

“universal call to holiness.” This call applies to the
clergy and each and every baptized person alike.

II-07Marriage as a Sign of the Covenant,
and the Covenant as the Model for
Marriage

Mark Lowery, Ph.D. MR 1 (3rd)
This talk offers a surprising and enlightening
perspective on what it means to call marriage a
sacrament, culled from a variety of Magisterial
documents such as John Paul II’s document on the
family Familiaris Consortio, Vatican II’s Gaudium et
Spes, and Pope Benedict XVI’s Deus Caritas Est. It
is commonplace to see marriage as a sacramental
sign or image of the Covenant between God and
humanity, between Christ and the Church. What
is less well-known is that these texts also contain
a hidden goldmine about another aspect of
marriage’s sacramentality: that the Covenant is
a model for marriage, and an efficacious one at
that. Bonus: The talk includes a brief introduction
to a textual exercise that teachers, middle-school
through high school, can use in their classrooms.
caught between the ideal and the real, the way
things should be in parish ministry and the way
things are? This workshop will help you to gain
insight and develop strategies for standing in that
sacred place that bridges what actually is and all
that could be.
This workshop is designed to help explain how this
essential theme of Vatican Council II applies to the
life and the challenges of the lay faithful.
Session III | 12:15 - 1:15 pm III-01Diaconal Ministry in the Marketplace:
Maintaining a Healthy Balance
Deacon Frank Ashley, Ed.D. MR 3 (3rd)
During the five years of formation for the
diaconate, we were constantly reminded about
the delicate balance that must occur between our
ministry to the diaconate and our obligations to
our family through the sacrament of marriage. There were the horror stories of men who had put
their ministry before their families and the drastic
results of those choices. Another delicate balance
is the one between a career or job and ministry. It
has often been said that the deacon has one foot
in the sacred world and one foot in the secular
world, with both worlds tugging at him very hard.
It can be tough trying to balance a successful
career with a successful ministry, and maintaining
a healthy balance can be challenging. This
presentation will discuss strategies for maintaining
this healthy balance in order for deacons to live
out the vows of their ordination and also fulfill their
responsibility to their families and employer.
III-02Assessment Strategies: Getting the
Right Answer
Julie Brunet & Renée McAlister GB 1-3 (4th)


Lucas Pollice, M.T.S. GB 7 (4th)
In his Apostolic Letter Porta Fidei, Pope
Benedict called for a Year of Faith to be

This presentation will explore how the Holy
Father presents to the Church a blueprint for
the New Evangelization, as envisioned by the
Second Vatican Council, based upon three
foundational pillars: Doctrinal Awareness, Spiritual
Renewal, and Evangelization and Witness. The
workshop will explore why these three pillars
of formation and renewal are so important for
the New Evangelization, and how these can be
implemented effectively at every level of catechesis
and ministry in order to usher in the New
Evangelization.

and busy age. In his writings for the Year of Faith,
William Cardinal Levada has stated, “The Saints
and the Blessed are authentic witnesses of the
faith” and has called us to come to know them

Benchmarks For Vitality
Marti R. Jewell, D.Min. MR 6 (3rd)
How pastoral leaders are providing leadership
in today’s parishes is one of the findings of
the Emerging Models of Pastoral Leadership
Project. Chief among the benchmarks for healthy
parishes is the development of “total ministering
communities” in which pastors, staff, and
parishioners each provide essential, needed, and
unique leadership for the parish. We will discuss
the role of discipleship and the leadership styles
that best serve parish life today.

The Creed
James B. McGill, M.A. GB 6 (4th)
This presentation will review the historical
development of the Nicene Creed and examine its
theological content. While proclaimed by many,
the creed is understood by few. We will address
this problem by seeing how the creed develops
the experience and convictions of the Old and
New Testaments, serves as the basic faith identity
of the Church, and stands as an important part
of the sacred liturgy. The creed is not a list of
dry statements, but a living text that contains
the core teachings of the Church and lays the
foundation for further theological reflection. As
Luke Timothy Johnson says about the Sunday
recitation of the creed, “The creed helps create
each week an actively committed people prepared
to enter together into the mystery that shapes and
nourishes its common life.”

correct you, call your name loudly, or try to be
funny by saying something like “Earth to Johnny!”
Not the most respectful ways of helping you
come to attention. With attention differences on

supportive ways. In this workshop, you will learn
how to get and keep attention using a variety of
tools which don’t embarrass students, including
the use of a soother station, classroom signals
and creating a non-distracting environment. In
addition, you will learn: 1) How giving students
choices can improve their focusing ability, 2) How

Ann Marie Eckert MR 1 (3rd)
It is probable that “Keep Holy the Sabbath” is

Church ministers! Sabbath is essential and lifegiving. It is an opportunity to find balance and be
restored. This workshop will provide participants
an opportunity to look at their own practice of
Sabbath (more than going to church on Sunday)

V-06Celebrating the Sacrament of
Reconciliation for the First Time: How
and WOW
Patricia J. Hughes, D.Min GB 8 (4th)
Planning and implementing a communal penance
service with individual reconciliation is a challenge
in more ways than one: knowing important
catechetical information, catechizing whom
(children? parents?), demystifying and debunking
the myths surrounding “confession” (which is only
the telling of sin), setting up the environment for
reception of the sacrament, choosing accessible
and appropriate music. Come and discover how to
approach the celebration of this often-neglected
source of amazing grace—for your parish children,
their families, and the entire community. The
“Wow Factor” for children will leave them wanting
more (grace), and the “How Factor” provides
a template for planning the liturgy with prayer
and music. Pastors, catechetical leaders, RCIC
planners, and musicians—come and find liturgical
support for revitalizing your sacramental program

Catholic and American
Thomas W. Jodziewicz, Ph.D. MR 5 (3rd)
Since the colonial period of American history,
the relationship of Catholic and American has
often been problematic. In its simplest narrative
form, some considerations of self-conscious
American political and ideological foundations
have suggested an enduring Roman Catholic
incompatibility with an American ethos, open and
skeptical, progressive and experimental. How, for
example, can a celebration of individual freedom
and the persisting pursuit for self-autonomy and,
more recently, one’s own truth, co-exist with a
faith equally self-conscious of its own tradition of
hierarchical and authoritative leadership, claim
to universal truth, and the embrace of a universal
natural law? The fundamental issue of Catholic
and American remains with us today and can be
traced through several historical examples since
the 17th century.
V-09Music and the Liturgy: Everyone Has a
Role to Play
Peter M. Kolar JB A-B (3rd)
The Church envisions our celebrations to be alive
with vibrant participation, but this vision can only
be fulfilled if everyone sings — not just the choir.
The gathered church at prayer has a right and
duty to sing God’s praises through sung liturgy,
from the presider to the assembly. This session
explores how music is integral to the Mass, and
offers practical ways for assemblies to “find their
voice.”

Teach about Assisted Reproductive
Technology?

Angelique Ruhi-López & Carmen
Santamaría, J.D. MR 9 (3rd)
A common misconception is that the Catholic
Church says “NO” to most reproductive
technologies, when in fact, the Church says “YES”
both to some reproductive technologies and to a
way of healing the underlying causes of infertility
that uphold the dignity of the couple and the
child they are hoping to conceive. The session will
elaborate on what the Church teachs with regard
to insemination, in vitro fertilization, surrogacy,
embryo adoption, and more. By explaining the
USSCB’s rule of thumb for licit reproductive
technologies and describing the Catholic
treatment alternatives, this session will offer a
clear understanding of Church teaching on these
bioethical issues.

V-08Data-Driven Instruction: A Powerful
Paradigm to Drive Academic
Excellence in Catholic Schools
Barbara Khirallah, M.Ed., ABD JB C-D (3rd)
Data-driven instruction is often discussed but
rarely understood. Some educators believe that
data-driven schools are simply “teaching to
the test” or conforming to diocesan mandates.
This session shall attempt to present a clear
case for embracing data-driven instruction in
our Catholic schools. By shifting the focus
from identifying “what was taught” to routinely
collecting and analyzing data to determine “what
was actually learned,” teachers and principals
can select focused actions aimed at increasing
individual student achievement. Come and learn
the fundamental principles of effective datadriven instruction. Find out what teachers and
administrators can do to create a culture where
data-driven instruction thrives, where teachers
improve teaching by focusing on what students
most need, and where students learn what they
most need to succeed. Real stories – as well as
research about real schools that have achieved
dramatic results – will be presented. Handouts

situation which involved bullying. Parents and
educators are concerned, and rightly so, but many
are unsure of how to respond to this overwhelming
problem. In this workshop, we will explore the
issue of bullying by defining the problem, sharing
ways to create a “culture of conciliation” and
learning how to reduce the incidences of bullying
in your school and community. In addition, you
will learn: 1) How to build consensus on core
values and discuss ways to empower students to
live out, act on and defend those values within the
community, 2) How to use the powerful tool of
peer mediation, and how young people can take
ownership and support each other in resolving
their misunderstandings and conflicts, 3) How
student-driven relationship repair and community
restitution are positive alternatives to adult-driven,
punitive discipline.
VI-03God Created Us in God’s Image and
We Have Returned the Favor: Our
Response to the Mystery of God

Gene Giuliano, M.A. GB 7 (4th)
The testimony of Scripture, the witness of the
Church, and the revelation of God in Jesus Christ
shouts for all to hear that God is the mystery
that is present and dwells among us, yet is
totally elusive and unknowable. Consequently,
our experiences of God can sometimes leave us
confused and uncertain. We might feel that we
could do a better job of being God. After all, the
God we have allows too much evil, is absent when
we need God most, and tests us with a world filled
with suffering, deceit, hatred, and violence. This
session explores the mystery and “hiddenness” of
God and its meaning for our lives. Are we brave
enough to face our human limitations, smash our
graven images, let go of self-imposed absolutes
that enslave us, and yearn for a God who is totally
free and totally beyond all that makes up our life,
but is still the center of it all?
VI-04Walking in Beauty: Mystagogy
as a Lifestyle

Dan Luby, S.T.D. MR 6 (3rd)
“Mystagogy” – Is it a hidden island near Djakarta?
A rare mineral? A painful skin condition? While
it is none of these things, “mystagogy” is a
term guaranteed to baffle most rank and file
Catholics. Even many RCIA specialists find it
difficult to explain, and harder still to practice.
Using the ritual text of the RCIA, this session
offers an overview of mystagogy, and then invites
reflection and dialogue on its implications for
all parishioners, regardless of how long they’ve
been Catholic. Participants will leave with new
perspectives on how this mysterious and beautiful
reality can become a way of life which deepens
our experience of faith.

VI-05Utopia or Reality? Building Unity in the
Classroom, Parish, and Beyond
Dr. Thomas Masters MR 3 (3rd)
Chiara Lubich, founder of the Focolare Movement,
claimed that “every authentic educational
approach includes a utopian thrust; that is, a
guiding principle which stimulates people to
build together a world which is not yet a reality,
but ought to be.” The “guiding principle” I will
describe is her “Art of Loving,” which is practiced
and made real through the “Cube of Love.”
The Cube is a simple yet effective teaching tool
that has helped transform rule-based school
systems and been used in parishes, families, and
communities to generate a positive culture of
relationships based on Gospel values. This talk will
inspire you with renewed hope through examples
of people living the Gospel in real-life situations.
I will explain the Cube’s faith-based principles,
provide examples of how students, teachers,
DREs, parents, coaches and administrators have
used the Cube, and lead you through a quick
demonstration of how to implement the Cube in
your classroom, family, or parish.

Blessed Pope John Paul II called the Second
Vatican Council “a great grace bestowed upon
the Church in the twentieth century: there we find
a sure compass by which to take our bearings in
the century now beginning.” This workshop will
explore how Vatican II was not a rupture from the
Church’s doctrine and Tradition, but rather was
a call to an enrichment of faith, holiness, and
authentic renewal in order that all members of
the Church may more effectively witness Christ
to the modern world. The workshop will highlight
the main themes and documents of the Council
and how these serve as our guide and compass as
the Church moves into the Third Millennium and
implements the New Evangelization.

of consecration in Christ. In other words, “Human
love is taken up into Divine Love” (Gaudium et
Spes, 48), and is put at the service of a greater
love: Love of God and love of human kind in
Christ. During this presentation, we will unpack
how this mission contributes and edifies the nuptial
body of Christ, the Church which is rooted in the
sacramental bond of marriage and lived within
the ecclesial community. Certainly, this mission is
both to form a communion of life and love and to
be sent into the world. We will also explore how
these two tasks are lived simultaneously and more
importantly how they correspond to the deepest
desires of each spouse.

Session VII| 9:15 - 10:15 am VII-01Awakening the Mission
Spirit in America!
Rev. Jack Wall Hall A (1st)
Rev. John J. Wall is President of Catholic Extension,
the national Catholic organization committed to
building and strengthening the Catholic faith in
America’s poorest regions. Inspired by personally
witnessing the transformative power of faith in very
poor Catholic communities across our country,
Father Wall is calling on us to awaken a new
mission spirit in our Church. “The Church is not
a member-centered institution,” he states, “but
a mission-driven one. We are being called in
this challenging moment to a new evangelization
effort by giving witness to the power of the gospel
to transform hearts, lives, church, and society. Now is the time for all American Catholics to
walk together in faith and to bond our lives in a
common effort.” Describing Catholic Extension as
one way that American Catholics work together to
collaboratively build faith, inspire hope, and ignite
change, he offers a vision of how a shared mission
can help renew the Catholic Church in America.

Danger of Ignoring the Creed in
Teaching Religion
Marlon De La Torre, M.A., M.Ed. MR 3 (3rd)
This presentation will draw on how the Catechism
is actually relevant in catechetical teaching. At
the same time, this workshop will reveal potential
errors and pitfalls when ignoring the Creed in
catechetical instruction.

Sacred Liturgy: Are We There Yet?
Sandra Dooley MR 9 (3rd)
The Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy was

liturgical documents relate to it? To what extent
has the vision of the CSL been realized?

Diana Dudoit Raiche, Ph.D.JB C-D (3rd)
What do you do with children at the parish or
Catholic school who arrive without benefit of
baptism, first communion, or confirmation? How
is their initiatory catechesis similar to and yet
different from the sacramental catechesis of their
peers who were baptized as infants? Teachers,
catechists and youth ministers are discovering the
need to be prepared for the growing number of
older children and youth who fit this description.
This presentation focuses on what the Church calls
us to do to meet the spiritual and sacramental
needs of these children and their families through
the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults adapted
for them. Discover the essential elements of RCIA
adapted for children and how to implement these
elements through sample case studies.
VIII-04“I Will Ask the Father and He Will Send
You Another Advocate to Be
with You Always”

Gene Giuliano, M.A. MR 6 (3rd)
The great gift that Jesus promised to his followers
before his death, resurrection, and ascension was
the gift of the Holy Spirit. The very Spirit of God is
offered to us to be our spirit. Yet, how real is this
gift to us? Is the Holy Spirit more to us than that
third person of the Trinity who is difficult to explain
and even more difficult to relate to? It is easy to
understand why there are those who find it hard
to have a personal relationship with the Holy Spirit
when the Spirit is viewed as a mysterious power or
force and is described using biblical images like
breath, wind, water, dove, fire, and cloud. This
session examines the biblical presentation of the
Holy Spirit and prayerfully reflects on the Holy
Spirit as the gift of God, the presence of God, the
power of God, the truth of God, and the very heart
of God.

Advent: Fuel for the Fire of Faith
Lisa M. Hendey GB 7 (4th)

VIII-06Music for Bilingual (English-Spanish)
Celebrations
When English- and Spanish-speaking assemblies
come together for worship, music becomes an
essential factor in the welcoming experience.
Bilingual music, in particular, can be an important
bridge between cultures, if used effectively.
We’ll look at various bilingual and monolingual
selections, both recent and traditional, that are
useful for bicultural liturgies. Practical suggestions
for application will be offered as well as a tour of
pertinent resources.

and metaphors in developing God talk. These
skills are applicable to home, classes, youth
ministry settings, and in our conversations. Further,
this session will identify spiritual practices, faith
skills, and rituals that enable young people to
‘talk’ about God and faith and to live out their
discipleship. Let’s talk about young people and
about God!

VIII-10La Familia’s Catechesis:
Accompaniment on the Journey of
Faith
Dr. Verónica Rayas, Ph.D. MR 5 (3rd)
Traditionally, Catholicism has been a “home
religion” among Mexican Americans, as children
grow up experiencing countless opportunities
of faith expressions and spiritual wisdom. Many
Mexicans and Mexican Americans learned to
live a life of faith in their childhood homes. This
workshop focuses on basic catechetical principals
used in “la familia’s catechesis,” such as the
development of community, the importance of a
faith-cultural identity, and the role of aesthetics
and traditions in catechesis. Join us as we
explore the experiences and lessons learned in
“la familia,” while highlighting the use of these
catechetical principles in the religious formation of
children, youth, and adults in your community.

With one in six couples experiencing infertility in
the U.S., the Catholic Church must stand ready
to provide medical, ethical and spiritual support
to couples bearing this cross. This session will
begin with a basic introduction to infertility and
the Church’s teachings on the subject. It will
also address the emotions and challenges of
those experiencing infertility, as well as how to
minister to infertile couples and those who have
experienced miscarriage through support groups,
special Masses/liturgies, and other resources and
ideas that dioceses and parishes may implement.

Presence: Is There an Elephant in the

Patricia J. Hughes, D.Min GB 7 (4th)
Experience a refreshingly detailed look at the
liturgical ministry of the Extraordinary Minister of
Holy Communion. From a pastoral perspective,
come discover—or perhaps revisit—the history,
theology, and spirituality of the Communion
Minister. There’s “an elephant in the living room”
when we choose to distribute Holy Communion
rather than serve the Body and Blood of Jesus
Christ, often overlooking or not understanding the
doctrine of the Real Presence. Faith plus formation
is the goal for anyone who is currently an
Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion, or for
those who are interested in learning this ministry.
Expect practical information, training resources, a
glossary of terms, and inspiration for the faith-full
ministry of the Communion Minister. Clarifying
questions will be welcomed!
IX-05Bloom Where You’re Planted: Finding
God Where He’s Always Been

Dan Luby, S.T.D. GB 6 (4th)
“Our hearts are restless until they rest in you.”
With this famous prayer, St. Augustine not only
expresses one man’s yearning for God, he also
describes a universal human reality. To be human
is to be a seeker; specifically a seeker after God.
This session offers conversation and shared insight
about how we can embrace our fundamental
vocation of seeking God. Its premise is that our
search rarely calls us to exotic, far away places,
but rather to seek and find God in the day-today circumstances which constitute our lives.
Participants will exchange and take away concrete
suggestions for cultivating the virtue and practice
of “presence” in the Presence of God.

publication of the Catechism of the Catholic
Church, Msgr. Peter J. Vaghi reflects on the four
pillars of the Catechism from his four books on
this subject, a series published by Ave Maria Press
entitled the Pillars of Faith Series. These four
catechetical books, and his workshop, are and will
be a pastoral and theological reflection on faith,
the seven sacraments, the moral life (especially
the 10 commandments) and prayer. His four book
series is useful and beneficial, especially in this

America. Rightly used, however, the Scripture
supports the Church, and Dr. Bergsma discusses

Catholics

Karen Garnett MR 8 (3rd)
It is the duty and moral obligation of Catholics to
be active in the public square and to advocate for
life, justice and peace in our nation and world. In
November 2011, the U.S. Bishops reissued their
2008 edition of Forming Consciences for Faithful
Citizenship, including a new Introductory note.
To help Catholics unpack the teaching in this
comprehensive document in 2008, Bishops Kevin
Farrell and Kevin Vann issued a two-page “Joint
Statement to the Faithful of the Dioceses of Dallas
and Fort Worth” in both English and Spanish.
The Joint Statement was heralded as one of the
clearest ever to be issued on this critical, but toooften misunderstood and misinterpreted, teaching
of our Church. In this talk, Karen Garnett
(English track) and Aurora Tinajero (Spanish
track) walk through the Bishops’ Joint Statement
point-by-point, differentiating between issues that
are “intrinsically evil” and those of “prudential
judgment,” explaining “proportionate reasons”
and what is morally permissible when forming
consciences.

Dispatches from the Front Lines

John Allen GB 4-5 (4th)
Eighty percent of all acts of religious persecution
in the world today are directed against Christians,
but in the West it is often difficult to conceive
of Christianity as a persecuted minority. Yet in a
growing number of global hotspots, such as the
Middle East, the Indian subcontinent, and parts of
sub-Saharan Africa, Christians are paying in blood
for their faith every day. Right now, there’s a real
possibility that the Holy Land could turn into a
“spiritual Disneyland,” full of glittering attractions
but empty of living Christian communities.

Christians and highlight what we can do about it.

The God of the Old Testament

James B. McGill, M.A. GB 8 (4th)
The God revealed in the pages of the Old
Testament: 1) creates (chaos into order,
fruitfulness, blessing, well-being), 2) makes
promises (despair to hope, barrenness to life,
makes possible a future), 3) delivers (disrupts
social bondage and exploitation, authorizes
freedom, dignity, justice), 4) commands
(insists on holiness and justice making life and
community possible), and 5) leads (continually
transforms abandonment into homecoming). In
this presentation, we will examine this description
of God. No other ancient religion understood God
the way the Israelites did. Such a distinctive sense
of who God is and how God acts prepared them
for the full revelation of this God in Jesus Christ.

Communities of Prayer is a Catholic ministry helping people grow in prayer and
develop a deeper relationship with God. We accomplish this through our retreats and
talks, centered around our unique Lectio Divina guides, which are incredibly effective
resources for growing in holiness. We also foster community by our weekly meeting,
open to all, where we gather together and meditate on the Sunday Gospel, sing praise and worship
songs, and pray the Liturgy of the Hours to live music. Praying the Liturgy of the Hours to music became
such a hit that we decided to record some of our live sessions and put them on a CD for others to enjoy
and pray with. As a ministry, this will be our second time performing our musical work at UDMC. We
hope you enjoy!

In addition to his developing musical career, Michael James Mette also has over 14
years experience in Catholic youth ministry as a worship leader, keynote speaker,

rich life experiences including his service in the Air Force, ministry in the Church, marriage of 13 years,
and being the father of 5 young children. His’s sophomore album “Bring Forth the Light” (2012)
shows a mature variety of songs ranging from intimate worship ballads to punk-rock inspired anthems. Veteran producers Kevin Clay and Steve Wilson capture the vitality and essence of the songs through
haunting vocal harmonies juxtaposed with fuzz driven guitars. The sound is brooding and spirited, while
maintaining a modern rock approach that feels both fresh and familiar.

Sesión III | 12:15 - 1:15 pm III-22¿Que enseña la Iglesia Católica sobre
la tecnología reproductiva?
Santamaría, J.D.
GB 8 (4th)
Un concepto erróneo y común es que la
Iglesia Católica dice “NO” a la mayoría de las
tecnologías reproductivas cuando en realidad,
la Iglesia dice “SÍ” a algunas tecnologías
reproductivas y a una manera de sanar las causas
de la infertilidad que mantienen la dignidad de la
pareja y el hijo que esperan concebir. Durante la
sesión, se elaborará lo que enseña la Iglesia sobre
la inseminación, la fertilización in vitro, el alquiler
de úteros, y más. Al describir las alternativas
católicas de tratamientos, la sesión dará una
explicación clara de las enseñanzas de la Iglesia
sobre estos asuntos bioéticos.

es un sentimiento romántico, sino una firme
determinacion de entregarlo todo para salvarnosrecrearnos, canjeando su muerte por una vida
IV-22La Música al Servico de la Liturgia,
Parte 1
¿Qué tan poderosa es la música en moldear
nuestra experiencia del culto? ¿Qué tan
importante es el papel del coro en la Misa? Tiene
que ver, últimamente, con la participación de la
asamblea: los coros buenos están atentos, sobre
todo, al cantar del pueblo reunido; los coros no
atentos ni se fijan en la asamblea, tratándoles
como si estuvieran en un concierto. Exploraremos
la estructura de le Misa, y cómo la música
litúrgica puede y debe elevar nuestras voces al
cielo. ¡Para los músicos y todos los feligreses que
quieren ser mejores participantes en la Misa!
IV-23El Carisma del Sacramento del
Matrimonio: Parejas Caminando juntos
en la Fe para realizar su Misión

Jake Samour, M.T.S. MR 7 (3rd)
Por medio de la alianza sacramental del
matrimonio cada pareja se pone al servicio de
la misión de la Iglesia para construir el Reino
de Dios. Esta misión eclesial existe por medio
de un carisma especial en el sacramento y llega
a ser una tipo de consagración en Cristo. Es
decir, “el amor humano es asumido en el Amor
Divino” (Gaudium et Spes, 48), y es puesto al
servicio de un amor más grande: El amor de Dios
y el amor a la humanidad en Cristo. Durante
esta presentación veremos cómo esta misión
contribuye y edifica el cuerpo nupcial de Cristo,
la Iglesia, como está arraigada en la alianza
sacramental del matrimonio y como es vivida
dentro de la comunidad eclesial. Esta misión,
por supuesto, es formar una comunión de vida y
amor y al mismo tiempo es ser enviado al mundo.
Examinaremos como es que estas dos tareas
son vividas simultáneamente y más importante
como corresponden totalmente a los deseos
más profundos de cada cónyuge. En fin, es un
reconocer a lo que hemos sido creados y ofrecer
una respuesta a lo que cada pareja últimamente
anda buscando.

III-21Cuando No Hay Coro... Música para
Quinceañeras, Bodas y Funerales
Santiago Fernandez JB C-D (3rd)
Muchas veces el coro parroquial está enfocado en
el ministerio dominical de la parroquia, o no está
disponible entre semana o los sábados porque
todos trabajan, pero las quinceañeras, bodas y
funerales deben también formar parte integral del
programa musical en la parroquia y no podemos
tolerar la mediocridad en estas misas. ¿Quién
canta cuando el coro no está disponible? ¿Se
permite en la parroquia que canten “solistas”
o grupos como si fuera un concierto en lugar
de fomentar la participación de la asamblea
litúrgica? En esta sesión hablaremos de estos y
otros desafíos y de los requisitos y reglamentos
que debe haber cuando otros cantores o
instrumentistas visitan nuestras parroquias.

humanos la imagen de un Dios que nos permite
expresar, con una valiente decision, el amor, como

donde vivimos.


Alejandro Ordieres MR 6 (4th)
¿Por qué algunos matrimonio se rompen? ¿Por
qué el amor se acaba? ¿Dónde quedó la pasión
con la que vivimos nuestros primero años como
novios y recién casados? El matrimonio es para
siempre pero ahora ese “para siempre” dura
demasiado. Sin embargo, Dios es amor y, por
ello, el amor es un misterio que por naturaleza es
eterno para todos aquellos que están dispuestos a
realizar el esfuerzo que exige amar.

Dr. Verónica Rayas, Ph.D. MR 3 (3rd)
La oración es un componente esencial de
la catequesis que se centra en alimentar la
relación de la persona con Dios. Este taller dará
a los catequistas y educadores religiosos una
comprensión de las cuatro formas básicas de
oración: petición, acción de gracias, perdón
y alabanza (CCC 2626 - 2643). Actividades
creativas y divertidas y herramientas basadas

Antonio Ramirez de León, Ph.D., D.Min. MR 7 (4th)
“La evangelizacion es la mision escencial de

presentacion veremos que significa evangelizar y
cuales son los puntos centrales de lo que hoy se
llama la Nueva Evangelizacion. Profundizaremos
en este tema ya que sera el punto central del
proximo sinodo de los Obispos. Este nuevo
impulso a proclamar la buena nueva es un signo

sexuales en los jóvenes y la familia

Dra. Pilar Calva MR 8 (3rd)
Los Padres son los primeros educadores de sus
hijos. Su ejemplo es la influencia esencial en
la vida de sus hijos. El amor y cariño que den
a sus hijos es el mejor impedimento contra un
comportamiento promiscuo y conductas rebeldes.
Una familia fuerte y disciplinada produce
ciudadanos más responsables, y disminuye de
manera importante la tasa de adolescentes
embarazadas y con enfermedades de transmisión
sexual. El Colegio Americano de Pediatras
(American College of Pediatricians) apoya
fuertemente la educación sexual basada en la
abstinencia hasta el matrimonio y recomienda su
adopción por parte de todo el sistema educativo,
en lugar de la “educación sexual integral”.

Conversión durante la Cuaresma
Magdalena Gutierrez GB 8 (4th)
La entrega a Jesucristo genera en los creyentes
el deseo de conocerle más profundamente y
de identificarse con El. Esta vida cristiana es
un camino espiritual que provoca un “cambio
progresivo de actitudes y costumbres”, hecho
de renuncias y de luchas, y también de gozos
que Dios concede sin medida. Los participantes
explorarán ideas prácticas para guiar a los
participantes del RICA y a toda la parroquia a un
renovado deseo de santidad y a un cambio de
corazón y mente que es práctico y contagioso.

Acompañamiento en la jornada de fe
Dr. Verónica Rayas, Ph.D. GB 4-5 (4th)
Tradicionalmente, el catolicismo ha sido una
“religión en casa”, entre los México-americanos
que crecen experimentando un sinnúmero de
oportunidades sobre las expresiones de fe y
sabiduría espiritual. Muchos mexicanos y Méxicoamericanos aprendieron a vivir una vida de fe en
el hogar de su infancia. Este taller se centra en
principios básicos utilizados en “La catequesis
de la familia”, tales como el desarrollo de la
comunidad, la importancia de una identidad de
cultura-religiosa y el papel de la estética y las
tradiciones en la catequesis. Únete a nosotros

es la de responder a las preguntas: ¿Qué son
los Salmos? ¿Por qué los cantamos? ¿Son una
oración? ¿Hay diferentes tipos de Salmos? ¿Cómo puedo rezar con los Salmos? ¿Cuál es
la diferencia entre Salmos de acción de gracias,
alabanza, imprecación, reales, etc.? Dicen que
hay salmos de imprecación o maldición ¿cómo

Ciudadanía Fiel: Orientación Clara de


Aurora Q. Tinajero GB 6 (4th)
Es el deber y la obligación moral de los Católicos
participar activamente en la plaza pública y
abogar por la vida, la justicia y la paz en nuestra
nación y el mundo. En noviembre de 2011, los
Obispos de Estados Unidos volvieron a publicar su
edición de 2008 de Formando la Conciencia para
Ciudadanía Fiel, incluyendo una nota introductoria
nueva. Para ayudar a los católicos descomprimir
la enseñanza en este documento completo en
el año 2008, los obispos Kevin Farrell y Vann
Kevin publicaron una página doble “Declaración
Conjunta para los Fieles de la Diócesis de Dallas
y Fort Worth”, en ambos Inglés y Español. La
declaración conjunta fue anunciada como una
de las más claras sobre esta enseñanza de
nuestra Iglesia crítica y muy frecuentemente
mal entendida. En esta charla, Aurora Tinajero
caminan a través de la Declaración Conjunta
de los Obispos, punto por punto, diferenciando
entre las cuestiones que son “intrínsecamente
malas” y las de “juicio prudencial”, explicando
“razones proporcionadas “ y lo que es moralmente
permisible en la formación de conciencias.

VII-25Formacion Permanente para Adultos:
Transformacion hasta la talla Adulta
de Cristo Jesus
Antonio Ramirez de León, Ph.D., D.Min. JB C-D (3rd)
La mayoria de las Parroquias tienen catequesis
para ninos y muchas otras para jovenes pero
son muy pocas las que tienen formacion
sistematica para adultos. Las inquietudes y
formas de aprendender de los adultos tienen sus
caracteristicas propias y van transformandose
en las diferentes etapas de la vida. En esta
presentacion nos basaremos en modelos para
la formacion constante y permanente del Laico
y los puntos claves en su liderazgo ministerial.
Los modelos de formacion estan basados en el
documento: “Co-Responsables en la Viña del
Señor” de los Obispos de los EUA.”Para que no
seamos niños en la fe, sino crezcamos hasta la
talla adulta de Cristo Jesus.” (San Pablo)
tendrá disponibles algunas herramientas para
poder hacer del proceso de RICA un Encuentro

requiere asistencia en la parte 1).
IX-22Los secretos de un misterio:
la Eucaristía

Alejandro Ordieres GB 8 (4th)
Un misterio es aquello que no se puede explicar,
comprender o descubrir. Se trata de algo
reservado, secreto o recóndito, y la Eucaristía
es un misterio. Pero el misterio se revela a quien
participa de él, a quien forma parte del círculo
que lo rodea. La Eucaristía es la presencia real
de Cristo en la tierra pero, ¿realmente lo creo?
El mismo Cristo de hace dos mil años está entre
nosotros y no me he dado cuenta. Acompáñame
a revelar los secretos del Misterio Eucarístico para
llegar al centro de la vida cristiana.
IX-23Hacia una Espiritualidad Integral:
Varon y Hembra los creo Dios
Antonio Ramirez de León, Ph.D., D.Min. GB 1-3 (4th)
Actualmente existe un debate entre que es religion
y que es espiritualidad, en esta presentacion
veremos que las dos individualmente tienen su
importancia pero convergen en su valor, es decir,
una religion sana encamina a una espiritualidad
sana. Descubriremos la importancia de integrar lo
espiritual y lo material, ya que somos cuerpo alma
y espiritu, viviendo en una sociedad multicultural.
Finalmente se introducira el Tema de la
Espiritualidad para Varones que llama al hombre a transformarse y llegar a la verdadera comunion
y corresponsabilidad con la mujer, ya que en ella
misma se refleja la imagen y semejanza de Dios.
En otras palabras, como puede el varon convertise
en mejor padre, hijo, esposo y miembro activo de
la sociedad y la Iglesia.

Worship” en Misa? ¿Estamos aplicando juicios

Phần VII | 9g15 – 10g15
VII-41Cùng Bước Đi Trong Đức Tin: Đức Tin Công Giáo được gieo trên mảnh đất Văn Hoá Việt Nam
Trọng chữ Tín

Rev. Hy Nguyen MR 7 (3rd)
Tự căn tính văn hoá Việt Nam là văn hoá hữu thần. Văn hoá này đã là mảnh đất được chuẩn bị cho hạt giống
đức tin Công giáo được gieo trồng ở Việt Nam. Tuy nhiên, nhiều hiểu lầm đã tạo ra những căng thẳng đáng
tiếc giữa đức tin và văn hoá dẫn đến bắt bớ và trục xuất hàng chục ngàn người Công Giáo. Chúng ta học
được bài học gì trong quá khứ? Với người Công giáo Việt Nam trên đất Mỹ, chúng ta làm thế nào giữ gìn văn
hoá để củng cố đức tin Công giáo chúng ta trên vùng đất mới này?
Phần VIII | 10g45 – 11g45
VIII-41Tôi tin Giáo hội Duy Nhất, Thánh Thiện Công giáo và Tông Truyền

Rev. Ly Nguyen MR 7 (3rd)
Người Việt Nam, chịu ảnh hưởng Khổng giáo, tôn trọng trật tự trong xã hội. Người Công giáo Việt Nam yêu
mến và kính trọng phẩm trật trong giáo hội. Với xu hướng chống đối giáo hội hiện nay, chúng ta cần làm gì
để giữ vững niềm tin vào giáo hội? Chúng ta cần giáo hội hay không? Đâu là nguyên nhân làm mất niềm tin
vào Giáo hội? Và những gì cần làm để phục hồi lại niềm tin đó?
Phần XI | 3g00 – 4g00
XI-09Faith and Vietnamese Culture: What Pastoral Leaders need to Know

Rev. Hy Nguyen JB C-D (3rd)
Pope Paul VI, in Evangelii Nuntiandi states: “The split between the Gospel and culture is without a doubt the
drama of our time, just as it was of other times.” Pastoral leaders are to help the faithful to live out one’s faith
authentically. In many cases, misunderstanding leads to negative effects on pastoral works. If developing
multicultural awareness is a decisive factor for social and business success, how much more should it be for
pastoral - theological purposes? It is critical for pastoral leaders to know how to inculturate people’s faith in
their own parish setting, and to make all theologies local theologies.
