1.1
It Can Work! Many Styles,
Many People, One Voice for One God!
Come and listen and learn the importance of incorporating all styles into the liturgy, including today’s contemporary sounds mixed with traditional themes and heritage.
John Angotti’s approach to music in liturgy is empathetic to the origin of each rite. Therefore this allows for a clear vision of how music from any style can breathe life and beauty into the action taking place so that the assembly is engaged in not only the singing of the music but the understanding of the song.
1.2
Catholic Justice Tradition:
Promoting Life and Human Dignity
Presentation and practical applications on the importance of human rights and human dignity for all in the Catholic Social Teaching tradition and in the contemporary dialogue on the entire fabric of life will be offered by this group of national leaders.
The Catholic Collaborative on Justice Education

Inquiring Minds Want to Know—
Sharing Faith with Young Adolescents
Adolescents, ages 11 to 14, are entering a new world with new questions, challenges and opportunities. More than ever, these young people need to hear the faith story and have leaders who can walk with them on their journey as young disciples. This workshop will explore the dynamics of catechesis and evangelization with young adolescents. It will include practical strategies, tested methods, suggestions and resources from the fields of young adolescent ministry and faith formation.
1.4
Stories of Prayer | Prayer as Story
How does the presence of God manifest itself in everyday life? How do stories of everyday life reveal the presence of God? Fr. Patrick Hannon, author of the popular new book Running into the Arms of God: Stories of Prayer/Prayer as Story will explore storytelling as a window between the divine and the human. Hannon will present prayer as a cry of humans for God to "Find Us" in the messiness and joy of the human condition.
1.5
Liturgical Catechesis and the Lectionary:
Helping Others Grow in Faith
The liturgical year and the lectionary serve as bookends that help focus faith formation. Children discover the meaning of discipleship as the liturgical year unfolds and they begin to take ownership of the biblical story. Adults with their complex needs, interests, and abilities offer a particular challenge. Discover tools that help welcome and include a wide variety of people on the faith journey together. Learn the delicate skill of meeting individual needs while building community.
1.6
Hope, Humor and Healing:
Reclaiming the Joy of Ministry
Those who minister to others often find their lives are out of balance. This presentation will focus on revitalizing the joy that may be missing in your ministry. Come and find ten ways to tap into the healing power of hope and humor.
1.7
If You Build It, They Will Come
In the Religion classroom, this could be re-titled “if you make it fun, they will learn”! Children of all ages learn better when they enjoy what they are doing, and are engaged in active learning. This workshop is a participative experience that will give the teachers and catechists of grades K-8 the opportunity to take home a wealth of ideas to use immediately in the classroom. Great hand-outs will be given. Come and enjoy!

Spanish Speaking Track–Un Llamado a Celebrar:
La Preparación Sacramental Para la Familia De Hoy
Como catequistas hemos recibido una gran oportunidad de ayudar y apoyar a los padres de familia en su rol como "principales educadores en la formación de la fe" de sus hijos e hijas en la preparación para la celebración de los Sacramentos de Iniciación. En este taller daremos unas pautas practices para facilitar la evangelización, la conversión, y la catequesis de la familia dentro de los eventos de preparación sacramental. Aprenderán por medio de la música, las parábolas, la reflexión, y la celebración a involucrar a la familia inactiva para que experimenten y lleguen a ser participantes activos y comprometidos.
