Dear Parish Leaders,
I invite you to join me at our Archdiocesan Parish Leadership Day on Saturday,
February 26, 2011, at Maria High School. Grateful for the sacrifice of your valuable time
that I know participating in this event will require, I believe you will find it to be time
well spent.
In the communion of the Church, we live in relationship to Christ and, in Him, to
one another. The life that we receive from the Lord is made visible in our relationships
when the gifts that He gives us are shared, and I am deeply grateful to you and to all the
generous people whose selfless contributions to the vitality of their parishes strengthen
that ecclesial communion.
Parish Leadership Day is an opportunity for you to join with parish leaders from
all over the Archdiocese for a time of education, fellowship, and encouragement. Many
of you have found this event rewarding in the past. In 2011, the focus of Parish
Leadership Day will be Our Church: Ever Ancient, Ever New.
Thank you for your generosity in serving Christ in His Church. You and those
you love are in my prayers; please keep me in yours.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Francis Cardinal George, O.M.I.

a great opportunity for parish staffs and parishioners to gather together to pray and gain new knowledge and skills to
transform their parishes and society.

NEW FOR PARISH LEADERSHIP DAY 2011
Special Lunchtime Presentation (no registration necessary)
The Roman Missal: Promises and Challenges This session will briefly explore the context of the English translation of the third edition
of the Roman Missal (what it is, where it's coming from, how it fits into the 45-year renewal of the Liturgy called for by the Second Vatican
Council), highlighting some of its key characteristics. Time will be given for questions and answers. Todd Williamson is Director of the
Office for Divine Worship for the Archdiocese of Chicago. Rev. Monsignor Richard Hynes is the Director of the Department of Parish Life
and Formation.
While Cardinal Francis George will continue his tradition of a dialogue with us and answer our burning questions during lunch, we are adding
this special presentation by The Office for Divine Worship on the new Roman Missal. To accomplish this, one-half of the attendees will eat
lunch and dialogue with the Cardinal while the other half attends the workshop on the third edition of the Roman Missal. Then, we will simply
switch the Cardinal and the presenters from ODW for a second lunch period (see agenda for the day).
THE CONVERSATIONS
Come and engage experts and fellow workshop participants in lively conversation on current topics that are making headlines and causing
discord in many of our parishes. Our experts will give their views and then ask for yours. Come and find common ground on key challenges.
These special workshops are:
See Workshops: Taller A1, A8, A9, B1, B2, C1, C2 and C3
SPECIAL WORKSHOPS FOR CLERGY
It takes more than being a man of God to shepherd a parish in our complex world. In addition to being a spiritual leader, confidant and
advisor, priests are asked to be facilities managers, personnel experts, economists, sociologists and, occasionally, electricians. To help our
clergy deal with some of these issues, we are presenting several special workshops just for them. These workshops are:
See Workshops: A10, B3, and C4
CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION CREDIT
For the attorneys, CPAs, and Certified Financial Planners, we are offering Continuing Professional Education Credit with a workshop on
Charitable Giving. This is a first for Leadership Day. NOTE: While this is a continuing professional education credit workshop, it is open to
everyone. This workshop is:

Tendremos un dialogo concreto y posible de cómo podemos ser ‘signo’ de unidad y comunión para la Iglesia y la sociedad. Peter

THE CONVERSATIONS
A8.
Practical, Pastoral Strategies for Connecting Young Adults to Our Parishes and Organizations. Thirty years ago, the
backbone of Catholic parish life consisted of people between the ages of 25 and 40. Today's young adults - 20s and 30s, married
and single - though Catholic, are not nearly as present or active in our parishes and organizations. This session will present
strategies for effective outreach, invitation, and programming. Dr. Kate DeVries has been the Associate Director of the Young
Adult Ministry Office for the Archdiocese of Chicago for more than twenty years.

A12.
Only Together With His People Can Father Ever Know Best! Mutual efforts at sharing wisdom can make a real difference in

A13.
Do Tell! Questions Parish Leaders Ask and the Stories They Tell
Based on the data from Chicago's six-year INSPIRE program, this session reviews some key actions and behaviors of successful
pastoral leaders and parishioner leaders. It turns out that they take the idea of parish mission not just seriously but passionately.
They are good at imagining people as leaders and ministers who never think of themselves as either. They practice the art of good
conversation and storytelling. Participants will practice some of these critical leadership performances. Dan Gast is the Director
of INSPIRE, a Partnership Initiative of Loyola University Chicago and the Archdiocese of Chicago.

Make Your Meetings Come Alive By Developing Listening Skills Leadership is a team effort. Listening is essential if we are

Seminary for 15 years. He has been a Pastor for 21 years, 16 years at St. Gilbert in Grayslake and 5 years at St. Benedict-Irving
Park.
A16.
Learning to Evangelize in Every Situation Evangelizing is not simply a matter of choosing a program or method for reaching
out to others. Evangelizing can be the effect of every aspect of our ministry when we choose to engage the world with a message
of Good News. How to move from evangelization programs that simply seek out lost Catholics and converts non-Catholics to a
ministry that excites all people with the love of Christ. Rev. Nick Desmond is the Pastor of St. Aloysius Parish and Dean of
Deanery III-B. The focus of his ministry is evangelization and stewardship.
A17.
Are You Searching for God? We are created in God's image, which means we are created to be in relationship with God and

Where Have All the Fathers Gone? As our culture becomes increasingly egalitarian, the roles of men and women are less
distinct in some areas. Divorce is more common, and children born without the benefit of having both mother and father raising
them is becoming an accepted norm. Yet, sociological studies show that children raised in a family headed by the healthy
marriage of their biological parents thrive, physically, emotionally, academically, and economically. This presentation addresses
these concerns and offers strategies for parish ministry to encourage and support men in their role as father. Andrew Lyke is a

Who's on Mission? We All Are! Does being a missionary mean we have to go to another country, learn another language and
live among another group of people? For some of us, it may mean that, but for all of us, it means living our faith in such a way that
God’s love for all people becomes apparent. Vatican II taught that the Church on earth is missionary by her very nature. We
cannot help but be missionary! It is part of who we are as Church. This session will explore how parishes can be enlivened when
adults and children in the parish begin to awaken to their deepest identity as missionary disciples. Together we'll explore a
process of formation that opens up the way to discovering that we are indeed all called to be on mission wherever we are! Sr.

Why Should I Go to Church? There are an increasing number of young adults – single, married and young adult parents - who
are asking this question. They simply want to know "why." Many parents and young adults do not see any need whatsoever to

to enter a church building themselves on any regular basis. This workshop will not only address this question but will answer with
the understanding of our Catholic tradition. This workshop will be helpful to parish leaders, those in ministry, young adults, young

Spirituality: A World-View Our Church, ever ancient, ever new, offers us some profound insights that affect our daily living.
These are called “spiritualities.” We each have a spirituality, and the challenge is to continue to develop a healthy spirituality -- one
that reflects the God whom Jesus reveals. Our spiritualities function in very concrete ways in our lives. Our “world-view” -- the
ways we see ourselves and others; the ways we deal with conflict; the ways we allow ourselves to love and experience love -- all of

CONVERSATION WITH CARDINAL GEORGE - QUESTIONS
Prominent among the Archdiocese’s many noteworthy qualities is the remarkable level of communication between the
people and the Archbishop. Speaking about the consultative process, Cardinal George said, “One also has to consult
the people themselves, in whom the grace of Christ works constantly.” The Cardinal went on to describe the many
councils and commissions that constitute a formal channel for his consultation with the people. His interaction with the
faithful at gatherings such as Leadership Day is equally important informal consultation with the people. Leadership
Day participants will have the opportunity to engage in a Conversation with Cardinal George. At the bottom of this
page is a form for your question to the Cardinal. You may send it in with your registrations. Additional cards
will be included in the materials participants receive upon arrival. The Cardinal values the opportunity to learn what is
on your minds. Take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to ask the Cardinal a question.
Entre muchas cualidades importantes de la Archidiócesis es el nivel notable de la comunicación entre la gente y el
Arzobispo. Refiriendose acerca del proceso consultivo el Cardenal George dijo “Uno también necesita consultar con la
gente, en las cuales la gracia de Cristo trabaja constantemente.” El Cardenal describió varios concilios y comisiones que
constituyen un medio formal para su consulta con la gente. Su interacción con los fieles en las reuniones tales como el
Día de Liderazgo tiene la misma importancia para una consulta informal con la gente. Los participantes del Día de
Liderazgo tendrán la oportunidad de participar en una conversación con el Cardenal George. En la parte inferior y la
izquierda de la forma de registro habrá espacio para su pregunta para el Cardenal. Ud. puede enviarla con su
registracion. Habrá tarjetas adicionales que serán incluidas en los sobres de los materiales que los participantes
recibirán al llegar al evento. El Cardenal valora saber lo que la gente piensa. Aproveche de esta maravillosa
oportunidad para hacerle una pregunta al Cardenal.
Z pośród wielu wartościowych cech Archidiecezji, bardzo godna uwagi jest znakomita łączność miedzy ludźmi a jej
Arcybiskupem. Kardynał George, w wydaniu sierpniowym The Catholic New World, (29/8/06) mówiąc o doradczym
procesie, powiedział, „Należy zaciągać rady u ludzi, bo w nich stale działa łaska Chrystusa.” Następnie Kardynał
wymienił wiele grup doradczych i komisji, które są naturalnym kanałem dla niego w konsultowaniu się z ludźmi. Jego
obecność podczas zorganizowanego „Dnia Rady Parafialnej” i spotkanie się z uczestnikami tego programu jest również
bardzo ważną, chociaż nie formalną, formą konsultacji z ludźmi. W tym dniu uczestnicy będą mieli okazję, nie tylko
spotkać, ale i porozmawiać osobiście z Kardynałem George. U dołu tej strony znajduje się miejsce gdzie możecie
państwo napisać pytanie dla Kardynała George. Prosimy o oderwanie tej części strony i odesłanie jej wraz z
formularzem rejestracyjnym. Więcej kartek będzie dołączonych do materiału przesłanego do każdego uczestnika.
Kardynał ceni sobie każdą okazję, by dowiedzieć się, czym ludzie się interesują. Skorzystaj z tej wspanialej okazji, by
zadać pytanie Kardynałowi.
My question for Cardinal George is:
