READING Acts of the Apostles 1: 6-9

When the apostles and Jesus had gathered together, they asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to

Israel?” He answered them, “It is not for you to know the times or seasons that the Father has established by his own authority.

But you will receive power when the holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, throughout Judea and

Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” When he had said this, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him

from their sight.

RESPONSORIAL PSALM Psalm 104

GOSPEL ACCLAMATION ♫ Alleluia

GOSPEL Matthew 5: 13-16

En aquel tiempo, Jesus dijo a sus discípulos: “Ustedes son la sal de la tierra. Si la sal se vuelve insípida, ¿con qué de le devolverá el sabor? Ya

no sirve para nada y se tira a la calle para que la pise la gente. Ustedes son la luz del mundo. No se puede ocultar una ciudad construida

en lo alto de un monte; y cunado se enciende una vela, no se esconde debajo de una olla, sino que se pone sobre un candelero, para que

alumbre a todos los de la casa. Que de igual manera brilla la luz de ustedes ante los hombres, para que viendo las buenas obras que uste-

des hacen, den gloria a su Padre, que está en los cielos.”

COMMISSIONING SERVICE

PRESIDER: Many of you gathered here have been called to service in the liturgy.

With gratitude and joy we will now commission you and ask for God’s blessing upon you.

Those of you who have been called to be lectors,

who proclaim God’s word in speech and in action, please stand.

Those who have been called to be Communion ministers, who serve to build up the Church through sharing

Those who have been called to be MC’s, greeters, altar servers, ushers, and sacristans,

F-6 The Journey Within: Contemplative Spirituality for the Everyday Catholic Tom Booth Repeat of Workshop C2 page 23 (Friday)

We discover God “in the depths” where “streams of living water flow” in the heart of every

believer. The good news is often better than we imagine and learning to “pray always” is the

key to a life lived in union with God. We will learn to pray in simple and deeper ways in this

workshop focused on spirituality and prayer. Music, teaching, and stories filled with humor

will encourage and uplift those who attend.

See Tom Booth’s bio on page 23

F-3 The Gifts of Praying in More than One Language Dr. Hosffman Ospino

BILINGUAL Repeat of Workshop C4 on page 24 (Friday)

Tens of millions of Catholics in the United States speak and pray in more than one language.

A true catholic experience! This workshop is an invitation to appreciate better what it means

to be bilingual and affirm the gift of articulating one’s faith in different languages. We will draw

insights from contemporary research in the fields of linguistics, education, and psychology,

then conclude with practical recommendations to develop multilingual moments of worship

and prayer.

See Dr. Hosffman Ospino’s bio on page 29

F-4 Carrying the Liturgy into your Daily Life Dr. Anne McGuire “Go, the Mass is ended” is so unfulfilling! Discover connections between liturgy and life that

are inherent in what we do and who we are. Explore new relationships that surface in daily

living, if we allow the liturgy to truly engage us.

Dr. Anne McGuire is a parish liturgist and music director, whose background includes

university teaching, programming at a Shrine, and frequent articles on pastoral liturgy.

She has a Ph. D. in theology, with an emphasis in liturgical history, from the University of

Notre Dame. Anne is passionate about liturgy, a faith rooted in the paschal mystery, and

the universal call to saintliness and holiness. Her own journey of faith contributes to her

passionate involvement with all of the arts. She works at St. Pius X parish in Omaha,

Nebraska.

Dismissal from Workshops

F-1 RCIA and the Initiating Community Rita Thiron, MA “The People of God, as represented by the local Church, should understand and show by

their concern that the initiation of adults is the responsibility of all the baptized. Therefore,

the community must always be fully prepared in the pursuit of its apostolic vocation to give

help to those who are searching for Christ. In the various circumstances of daily life… all the

followers of Christ have the obligation of spreading the faith according to their

abilities. Hence the entire community must help the candidates and catechumens through the

process of initiation...”(#9) How then, is each member of the parish community invited to

participate in the catechumenal process? How might the parish -- its members and its

mission -- be strengthened in turn?

See Rita Thiron’s bio on page 18

F-2 Proclaiming the Word: Bringing Scripture to Life for Deacons, Catechists and Lectors Dr. Daniel Girardot Proclaiming the Word of God for liturgical celebrations or any group gathering in the parish is

an art form that requires faith formation and special training in the art of proclamation. Come

to learn practical techniques, borrowed from professionals in the disciplines of theater arts,

vocal pedagogy, and scripture study, to transform your reading into a vibrant proclamation of

faith. These techniques will help engage the hearts of the people of God through effective

proclamation of the Word with skill and conviction. This session includes an applied training

component for all participants.

Dr. Daniel Girardot, in his 40th year of church ministry, served the Diocese of Austin as

founding Office of Worship coordinator, Diocesan Coordinator of Music, and faculty mem-

ber for the Institute for Spiritual Direction, Institute for Ministry, and Deacon Formation

programs. He served as Director of Liturgy and Director of Music at St. Theresa Church in

Austin TX for over 36 years. Dr. Dan is a liturgical theologian, liturgist, pastoral musician,

pastoral studies teacher, spiritual director, husband to his wife Ann, and the encouraging

father of three adult musicians. He is a member of the SWLC Board and the Diocesan of

Austin Liturgical Commission, and is a writer, clinician and frequent presenter at national

conferences and dioceses throughout the country.

Opening — General Session I

REVEREND PAUL TURNER

Meet Yourself: Coming and Going

Conception in Kansas City, Missouri and director of the Office of Divine

Worship for the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph. He holds a doctorate

General Session II

Mr. Robert Feduccia

Liturgy in a Missionary Key

St. Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict both have said that the documents of the Second Vatican

Council remain our compass as we advance well into the 21st century. Often called a “missionary

council”, Vatican II called the Church to return to its evangelistic origins and set the Church on a mis-

sionary footing. This evangelistic mandate is echoed in the call of Pope Francis to be missionary

disciples. This message has implications on how we serve, catechize, and worship. Our general session

today will provide a path forward for liturgical worship at this time in the Church.

Robert Feduccia, Jr. was the founding director of the Youth Liturgical

Leadership Program at Saint Meinrad School of Theology and was also

the general manager for Spirit & Song, the contemporary music division

of OCP (Oregon Catholic Press). Robert combines his unique set of

experiences as a parish youth minister, retreat leader, and keynote

presenter with his graduate degree in theology, and is able to express

spiritual depth in way a way that is relevant to the real concerns people

face today.

E-4 Liturgy, Hospitality, and the Communion of Saints

Michael Prendergast and Dr. Anne McGuire

Repeat of Workshop D-4 page 28 (Thursday)

This workshop will reflect on hospitality in liturgy, music, and the Communion of Saints that

models full, conscious and active participation in the liturgical life of the Church. In particular,

liturgy, which is the full expression of the Body of Christ, is manifested in holiness which is

inherent in humanity, especially evidenced in the saints and holy people we encounter daily.

See Michael Prendergast’s bio on page 19 and Dr. Anne McGuire’s bio on page 34

E-5 The Sung Prayer of the Fifth Encuentro: Prayer of the Heart

Pedro Rubalcava

BILINGUAL

THIS WORKSHOP IS BEING SPONSORED BY OREGON CATHOLIC PRESS

How does our liturgy and prayer call us to live the message of the Fifth Encuentro? This work-

shop will explore some of the repertoire of music that accompanies the living of the Fifth

Encuentro and sends us forth as people of faith.

Pedro Rubalcava is a nationally known bilingual/bicultural clinician, composer and performer

with expertise in various musical styles. Dedicated to searching for and creating prayerful

experiences of the Divine through music, liturgy, the arts and beyond, he has been directing

liturgical music groups for more than 40 years. His pastoral ministry for the past 33 years

includes liturgy and music, evangelization, youth and young adult ministry, catechetical

ministry and RCIA. Pedro received national recognition in 1990 when Amanecer, his

bilingual music collection, was nominated for a Grammy award in the Best Mexican/

American Performance category. Currently, he is the Director of Music Development and

Outreach for OCP, where he has worked the past fifteen years. He also serves on the executive boards of

the Instituto Nacional Hispano de Liturgia (INHL), the National Council for Hispanic Ministry (NCCHM) and

the Northwest Regional Office for Hispanic Affairs (NWROHA). He resides in Damascus, Oregon, with his

wife, Kristin.

E-6 Real Presence: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow

Reverend Marcus McFadin

Repeat of Workshop D-5 page 28 (Thursday)

What is the Real Presence today, in the 21st century? Medieval theological terms have been

around a long time. How do they translate for us today for today’s generations and for

contemporary catechesis and mystagogy. Polls has faults but also point us to the need for

updated language. We need to move from Eucharist as an object of adoration (a noun) to

Eucharist as a verb, a way of life.

E-1 RCIA: Preparing Rites that Foster a Sense of Mystery and Enliven Faith

Timothy Johnston

THIS WORKSHOP IS BEING SPONSORED BY LITURGY TRAINING PUBLICATIONS

RCIA #75.3: As “the source and summit of the Christian life,” the liturgy is the primary place

where we are formed and transformed for mission (Catechism 1324). In this workshop, we

will discuss why intentional preparation and celebration of the liturgical rites during the

Period of the Catechumenate are important in the overall formation of catechumens.

See Timothy Johnston’s bio on page 23

E-2 Liturgical Arts: Renovating or Building a New Place of Worship

Jim Heck

Whether you want to just ‘spruce up’ your worship space, renovate your church to better

support the liturgy or build an entirely new structure, there are guidelines that can help you

with your project. The process for a successful church project uses thoughtful guidelines that

go beyond the experience with space in your home or a typical commercial building. Small

or large projects can benefit from a professional approach.

Jim Heck is a Principal Architect with Fisher Heck Architects of San Antonio, Texas. His

firm specializes in religious architecture, historic preservation and master planning. Jim

oversees all the firm’s religious architectural design. His firm has worked on over 180

church projects of all types, sizes and denominations throughout Texas. He has served as a

member of the Interfaith Forum on Religion, Art, and Architecture Design Committee in 2013-2014; was a workshop panelist for the SWLC Study Week 2015, the presenter for a

September 2016 ACLS webinar about the restoration of San Fernando Cathedral in San

Antonio, a speaker at the 2017 Dallas Ministry Conference and a speaker at the SWLC

2019 in Houston presenting a talk on practical advice on the building process from inception through com-

pletion of construction. Jim has been a member of the Association of Consultants for Liturgical Spaces since

2011 and is currently a member of its Board of Directors. Fisher Heck has received numerous design and

construction awards for architecture and historic preservation. Most notably, the firm was honored by the

Interfaith Forum on Religion, Art and Architecture with a 2015 Religious Art and Architecture Award for

Liturgical/Interior Design for its renovation of St. Monica Catholic Church in Dallas.

E-3 Entering the Mystery: Mystagogy and Praying the Mass

Brother Silas Henderson, SDS

This presentation will explore the ancient way of prayer known as “mystagogy” and its power

to help us enter into the Divine Mystery at the heart of the Mass and all the Church’s

liturgies. An ideal session for RCIA team members, liturgical ministers, and catechists, this

presentation will help every Christian rediscover how mystagogy can form and transform our

experiences of the Church’s prayer by helping us reflect more deeply on the words, symbols,

and rituals of the liturgy. See Brother Silas’ bio on page 25

A- 1 RCIA: National Statutes for the Catechumenate

Rita Thiron, MA

In November 1986, the United States Bishops passed thirty-seven statutes related to the

process of Christian initiation. By early 1988, they were approved by the Vatican. This session

will examine these important, but often-neglected mandates which serve as particular law for

the dioceses of the United States. They are designated to inform and impact pastoral practice,

sacramental policies, and liturgical celebrations regarding catechumens, candidates, uncate-

chized Catholics, and children of catechetical age. Clergy, RCIA teams, and parish staffs should

be familiar with Statutes’ content and wisdom.

Mrs. Rita Thiron serves as the Executive Director of the Federation of Diocesan Liturgical

Commissions (FDLC). She has been a member of the FDLC since 1993 and has served on

the Board of Directors and multiple committees. She formerly served as the Director of

the Office of Worship in the Diocese of Lansing and as the Director of Adult Education

and the Catechumenate at Holy Family Parish. She holds an MA in Theology from the

University of Notre Dame and a BA in History from Xavier University. She is the author

of seven books and countless articles and is a frequent presenter in the dioceses of

the USA.

A-2 Liturgical Arts: Art for the Church

Carol Frenning

All of our worship spaces have some form of art in them. We all believe that a worship space

should be beautiful. Where does this idea come from? Why do we have art in our churches?

Why do some things stay the same and others change during the year? Can art help our

prayer or is it a distraction? Understanding the role of art in the church can aid us in

selecting the art whether it will be a permanent or temporary art form.

Carol Frenning is the Program Director for the Graduate Certification Program in

Liturgical Art and Architecture at St. John’s University, Collegeville, Minnesota. She is a

liturgical design consultant with extensive experience working with congregations

throughout the country as they build or renovate their worship spaces. Carol serves as

a founder and past president on the board for the Association of Consultants for

Liturgical Space. She served as chair of the national advisory board for IFRAA-AIA

(Interfaith Forum on Religion Art and Architecture which is part of the American Insti-

tute of Architects). She was on the national planning board for the Form/Reform confer-

ence and the board for Faith and Form magazine. She served as the convener for the Visual Arts and the

Liturgy Seminar of the North American Academy of Liturgy. She is past chair of the Society of Architectural

Historians Minnesota Chapter as well as past chair of the art and environment committee for the Archdio-

cese of St.. Paul and Minneapolis.

.A-3 Lectio Divina for Ministers of the Word: Lectio in Daily Experience

Peggy Guerrero

Lectio Divina can lead us both into the word of God as well as into the presence of God in

Sent to Accompany Through Witness and Solidarity THIS PRESENTATION IS BEING SPONSORED BY THE OFFICE OF HISPANIC MINISTRY, DIOCESE OF TUCSON

Breaking bread in the Eucharist prepares the Christian disciple to break bread with those she/

he encounters in and beyond the liturgical space, especially those most vulnerable. The term

accompaniment derives from the Latin ad cum panem or sharing bread with others. Let us

reflect on the intimate relationship between breaking bread and Christian solidarity.

Hosffman Ospino, PhD is an Associate Professor of Theology and Religious

Education at Boston College where he is also Director of Graduate

Programs in Hispanic Ministry. He has served as the principal investigator for

several national studies on the Hispanic Catholic experience. Presently he

D-4 Liturgy, Hospitality, and the Communion of Saints

Michael Prendergast & Dr. Anne McGuire

This workshop will reflect on hospitality in liturgy, music, and the Communion of Saints that

models full, conscious and active participation in the liturgical life of the Church. In particular,

liturgy, which is the full expression of the Body of Christ, is manifested in holiness which is

inherent in humanity, especially evidenced in the saints and holy people we encounter daily.

D-5 Real Presence: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow Reverend Marcus McFadin

What is the Real Presence today, in the 21st century? Medieval theological terms have been

around a long time. How do they translate for us today for today’s generations and for

contemporary catechesis and mystagogy. Polls have faults but also point us to the need for

updated language. We need to move from Eucharist as an object of adoration (a noun) to

Eucharist as a verb, a way of life.

Reverend Marcus McFadin is a priest of the Diocese of El Paso and pastor of St. Luke

Catholic Church. He serves as acting director of the Office of Worship and chair of the

Diocesan Liturgical Commission. He recently earned the Doctor of Ministry Degree from

the Oblate School of Theology in San Antonio, Texas.

A-5 During and After Mass: Glorify the Lord

Reverend Heliodoro Lucatero, Ph.D. BILINGUAL

In the celebration of the Eucharist, as in all liturgical celebrations, we gather together to

celebrate the presence of God, mediated by Jesus Christ. It is a presence that sanctifies us

and nourishes us by Word and Sacrament not only to constitute us as God’s children, the

communion of saints, God’s holy nation, the mystical body of Christ, and temples of the

Holy Spirit, but also we receive the strength to be missionary disciples, to go out into the

world to give witness of the good news of the Kingdom of God, and to proclaim God’s love

to all by Word and example.

En la celebración de la Eucaristía, como en todas las celebraciones Litúrgicas, nos reunimos para celebrar la presencia

de Dios, teniendo a nuestro Señor Jesucristo como mediador. Es una presencia que nos santifica y nos alimenta por me-

dio de la Palabra y del Sacramento no solo para constituirnos como hijos e hijas de Dios, la comunión de los santos,

nación consagrada, el Cuerpo Místico de Cristo y templos del Espíritu Santo, sino también recibimos la fuerza para ser

discípulos misioneros, para salir al mundo a proclamar la buena nueva del reino de Dios, y llevar a todos al amor de

Dios de palabra y ejemplo.

Rev. Heliodoro Lucatero is a priest of the Archdiocese of San Antonio, Texas. Born in Coli-

ma, Mexico, he studied at the Catholic University of Louvain, Belgium. After thirteen years

of parochial ministry in eastern Washington state, he earned a PhD in liturgical studies at the

University of Notre Dame. In the past Fr. Lucatero has served as chair of several organiza-

tions including the National Hispanic Institute of Liturgy (INHL). Presently he serves in the

Hispanic Sub-Committee of the Bishop's Committee of Divine Worship; and is a member of

the advisory board INHL. He is the Director of the Secretariat of Liturgy and Christian

Prayer of the Archdiocese of San Antonio and pastor of St. Joan of Arc Parish. His published works include

The Living Mass: Changes to the Roman Missal and How We Worship published in English and Spanish.

A-6 The Bees are Back: What’s the Buzz with the New Exultet

Martin Marklin

With the third translation of the Roman Missal, we find that the bees have returned to the

Exultet the long-awaited proclamation of the resurrection that opens the Easter Vigil. After

the discipline of Lent and the intensity of Holy Week, the Church rejoices to hear the good

news. Learn about the meaning of the Exultet the virtues of the bees that extols, and the

candle that it praises. This lively presentation will brighten your appreciation of Easter,

deepen your respect for bees, and inspire you to go forth and Spread the Paschal Light of

Jesus Christ into the World!

Martin Marklin is a candle maker, woodworker and beekeeper. His background in theology

and liturgy began in childhood while serving at the side of his pastor and namesake, Msgr.

Martin B. Hellriegel, and continued at St. John’s College in Annapolis, Notre Dame and the

Catholic Theological Union in Chicago. In 1985 Martin received the Thomas J. Watson

Fellowship for a “Wanderjahr”—a year of independent study and travel through central

and Eastern Europe. Martin and his wife, Christine, are principals of Marklin Candle Design,

responsible for designing and fabricating candles and liturgical appointments for over thirty

years. They live in New Hampshire with their four children, dozens of farm animals and millions of honey

bees.

General Session III

Rita Thiron, MA

Christ’s Message is Made Known by Word and Deed

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults repeatedly makes clear that the initiation of adults

is the responsibility of all the baptized. The rite envisions that the entire community is

actively involved throughout the process of initiation. “The faithful should remember that

for the Church and its members the supreme purpose of the apostolate is that Christ’s

message is made known to the world by word and deed and that his grace is communicat-

ed. They should show themselves ready to give the candidates evidence of the spirit of the

Christian community and to welcome them into their homes, into personal conversation,

and into community gatherings” (RCIA 9.1). Why did the bishops of the Second Vatican

Council see the need to restore the catechumenal process? Why did they boldly remind

each of us that we have the duty to invite, influence, and inform those who seek to know

Jesus and his Church? What, then, does a parish process look like? How might we

reexamine what we say and do during the period of the pre-catechumenate? Whose

message are we sharing? How can we best “glorify the Lord by our lives”?

Mrs. Rita Thiron serves as the Executive Director of the Federation of

Diocesan Liturgical Commissions (FDLC). She has been a member of the

FDLC since 1993 and has served on the Board of Directors and multiple

committees. She formerly served as the Director of the Office of Wor-

ship in the Diocese of Lansing and as the Director of Adult Education and

the Catechumenate at Holy Family Parish. She holds an MA in Theology

from the University of Notre Dame and a BA in History from Xavier

University. She is the author of seven books and countless articles and is a frequent

presenter in the dioceses of the USA.

D-1 RCIA: A Church of Accompaniment is a Church on Mission

Timothy Johnston THIS WORKSHOP IS BEING SPONSORED BY LITURGY TRAINING PUBLICATIONS

RCIA #75.2 and 75.4 states that “in Baptism, we are intimately united to Christ’s divine life.

This love and grace rouse us from our pews and compels us to go forth and share the

Gospel.” In this workshop, participants will explore ways in which the community accompa-

nies and forms catechumens in the Christian way of life as well as how the liturgy sends the

Church out on mission to build up God’s kingdom. (See Timothy Johnston’s bio on page 23)

D-2 Liturgical Arts: Looking at Your Church Building with Fresh Eyes

Ken Griesemer

Over time, a church building needs attention and tender loving care. Sometimes the needs

and solutions are simple and sometimes they are more involved. Considering principles such

as noble simplicity, hospitality, inclusivity, quality and appropriateness can help in evaluation and

planning. Ultimately, we want our places of worship to support our liturgical and devotional

prayer, and to glorify and proclaim our generous and loving God.

Ken Griesemer has worked as a liturgical designer and consultant around the country since 1985, and

established his liturgical design consulting firm in 1999. In 1993 Ken completed studies at the Institute

for Liturgical Consultants at Catholic Theological Union in Chicago. He has been an associate board

member of the Southwest Liturgical Conference since 2002, and is a founding member and past presi-

dent of the Association of Consultants for Liturgical Space (ACLS). Ken has been active in RCIA

ministry since 1984, and currently serves his Albuquerque, NM, parish as a member of the RCIA team

We are lectors, deacons, servers, choristers, musicians, presiders…. We are Christians within the

When we celebrate the Sacraments of Initiation and the Rite of Reception into the Full

Communion of the Catholic Church at the Great Easter Vigil we find twenty-five headings

with recommendations of music, processions, gesture, proclamation, and the robust symbols

of the Liturgy of Baptism.

B-2 Liturgical Arts: Artists’ Showcase

Carol Frenning

Does your Church need a new vestment, a new icon, or Stations of the Cross or a new altar?

B-4 Liturgy and Justice: More than a “Pretty” Mass

Reverend Scott Brubaker

Liturgy is a transformative experience. Preparing our celebrations is about more than making

them aesthetically pleasing. The rites of the Church have the potential power to foster

awareness of who we are and what we are called by Christ to do in our world. What this

means and how we pray our rites with hearts open to discovering our role in Gods justice

will be the aim of our time.

Fr. Scott Brubaker has been a priest in the Diocese of Phoenix for over 35 years. He

studied for ordained ministry at The Catholic University of America. He also obtained an

M.A. in Pastoral Liturgy from the University of Santa Clara. Fr. Scott served as Vicar of

Worship for his diocese for 13 years. He has taught classes and conducted workshops

throughout the country, and especially in the Southwest, promoting the implementation

of the liturgical renewal called for by the Vatican. He served as president of the South-

west Liturgical Conference for 6 years and is presently in his 17th year as pastor of St.

Bridget Roman Catholic Parish in Mesa, Arizona.

C- 5 Liturgy as Pathway from Conflict to Communion

Reverend Miguel Mariano and Pastor Steve Springer

2017 was the 500th anniversary of the beginning of the Reformation. In preparation for the

joint observance of that anniversary, the Catholic Church and the Lutheran World Federation

adopted a statement of mutual understanding and purpose, “From Conflict to Communion.”

This workshop will explore the liturgy of the eucharist and the liturgy of the world as arenas

of ecumenical dialog and engagement. In the liturgy of the eucharist, although there is not yet

eucharistic sharing, the 20th century Liturgical Movement has caused the diverse liturgies of

the Mass to converge, giving us a common framework and language for dialog. In the liturgy

of the world, Christians from diverse backgrounds can participate together in the liturgy of

the hours, rites of blessing, prayer vigils, hymn fests, and more. Participants in this workshop

will learn how both creative liturgy and ancient liturgy offer new ways to build ecumenical

understanding and ties.

Rev. Stephen Springer is pastor of Dove of Peace Lutheran Church in Tucson, Arizona, part

of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). In 1994, he obtained his M.Div. from

the University of Chicago Divinity School, an ecumenical and interfaith institution. As an

ordained Lutheran pastor for the last 22 years, he has participated in a variety of shared

ministries, interfaith dialogs, and advocacy projects with diverse faith communities in Texas,

Louisiana, and Arizona. In 2006 and 2007, he was appointed to educate and promote

worship and liturgy in the Arizona and Nevada congregations of the ELCA. Since 2016, he

has been invited to explain and promote From Conflict to Communion, an agreement of ecu-menical cooperation between the Lutheran World Federation and the Roman Catholic Church.

Reverend Miguel Mariano is a priest of the Diocese of Tucson serving as the Worship Office

Director and the Liaison of the Diocese to the Interfaith and Ecumenical community. He

works and relates with the spiritual leaders bridging the commonalities and differences that

lead to prayer and community as people of faith. He is currently the pastor of St. Odilia

Parish in Tucson. Fr. Miguel completed his studies in liturgy at the Liturgical Institute.

C-6 Discipleship and the Call to Ministry Brother Silas Henderson, SDS

Inspired by St. Paul’s words, “It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me,” this

presentation will explore how discipleship can and must be the foundation of our individual

ministries. Exploring the call to communion and mission outlined in Scriptures—and explored

in the US Bishop’s Coworkers in the Vineyard of the Lord—this workshop will help ministers to

find stability and focus as we manage too-busy schedules and the demands of modern parish

life.

Brother Silas Henderson is a member of the Society of the Divine Savior and executive

director of the Tucson-based Jordan Ministry Team. He holds a Doctor of Ministry De-

gree in liturgy from Catholic Theological Union at Chicago and a Masters in Theological

Studies from St. Meinrad Seminary and School of Theology. A theologian, catechist and

retreat leader, Bro. Silas is the author of four books and his reflections and articles on the

liturgy, spirituality, Mary and the Saints, and discipleship have appeared in a variety of

prominent Catholic publications.

THIS WORKSHOP IS BEING SPONSORED BY THE OFFICE OF DEACONS, DIOCESE OF TUCSON

“In the light of the El Paso and Dayton events and others over recent years, the liturgy can be

a source of comfort and strength in times of chaos and conflict. When the shootings, disasters

or tragedy face us, we ‘run to church’ or have an ecumenical service. Are we praying because

we don’t want to take action or are we praying for the strength and courage to take some

action – whether it is a call to the legislators for gun control, climate control or mental health

services, and so forth.” (Sr. Lois Paha, OP). In this session we will look to the Liturgy of the

Hours, and most especially the Psalms, as powerful God-given sources of healing response,

both communally and individually.

B-5 The Assembly’s Voice: Sacred Music in the Liturgy

Peter Kolar

BILINGUAL

We come to Mass not to be passively entertained but to participate fully, consciously, and

actively in the banquet of our Lord. It is a right and responsibility that we have as members of

the gathered Body of Christ. When the liturgy is treated as a show or spectacle, the assembly

remains disconnected from ritual, when in fact we play a privileged part in it. We trust our

musical leadership and choirs to be informed by the documents and to make good decisions

on our behalf from song and lyric selection to how the music is performed and led. Only when

they are truly attentive to “the main choir” (the assembly!) can we achieve the vision of our

church in which all members of the faithful are actively involved in the liturgy, raising our

voices together in praise to God.

Peter Kolar is the Editor for Spanish and Bilingual Resources at GIA Publications, Inc. A

bilingual composer and classically-trained pianist, his works include the bilingual mass setting,

“Misa Luna,” sung for the papal liturgy in Philadelphia, and a solo piano CD, “Variations.”

Peter holds a Masters degree in music composition from Northwestern University and sits

B-6 Evangelization Misunderstood

Reverend Leon Strieder

Evangelization is not about winning the argument but about winning hearts. Some folks think

evangelization is apologetics. In fact, apologetics only works for the already convinced. It helps

folks confirm their faith. To reach those who have little faith, we must be better listeners. Faith

comes through hearing says St. Paul.

Reverend Leon Strieder, SLD is an Associate Professor of Liturgy and Sacraments at St.

Thomas University School of Theology. He holds a BA in Classics from the University of St.

Deacon Owen Cummings

Worship and the Catholic Imagination: The Church as Sacred Space

The fire that wrecked Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris last this year was clearly a cultural as well as

a religious tragedy. People identified with the Cathedral historically, culturally and nationally. Prompted

by this tragedy we might ask foundational questions such as, “Why do we need buildings to worship

in?” or “What does a worship space actually do?” This reflection will engage such questions not by

getting into complex issues of liturgical architecture but pastorally.

based on the liturgical year has in forming and preparing catechumens to live as disciples.

Timothy A. Johnston is an Editor and Liturgical Training Consultant for Liturgy Training

Publications. He has a degree in music education from Quincy University in Illinois, an

MA in liturgical studies from St. John’s University, Collegeville, Minnesota, and an MA in

C-2 The Journey Within: Contemplative Spirituality for the Everyday Catholic Tom Booth

We discover God “in the depths” where “streams of living water flow” in the heart of every

believer. The good news is often better than we imagine and learning to “pray always” is the

key to a life lived in union with God. We will learn to pray in simple and deeper ways in this

workshop focused on spirituality and prayer. Music, teaching, and stories filled with humor

will encourage and uplift those who attend.

Tom Booth is a composer and has traveled internationally giving concerts, retreats and

speaking engagements. His formation in liturgy is rooted firmly in the spirit of Vatican II.

He brings this sense of the wider community, the people of God, to his understanding

of personal spirituality. Contemplation and meditation leads us back to the altar table with

our brothers and sisters on the journey to salvation, and that same communal experience

strengthens our call to the journey within. He has experience in music, liturgy, youth

ministry, campus ministry and prayer/spirituality. Tom is a certified Spiritual Director and

clinician for Oregon Catholic Press (OCP) and is the music director for St. Thomas More

Catholic Newman Center on the campus of the University of Arizona. His well-known songs include Sacred

Silence, Here I Am, Find Us Ready and many others. Tom lives with his wife Tammy in Tucson, Arizona. They

have three wonderful, adult children, and patiently await the arrival of their first grand-child in January of

2020!
