Miguel Arias, Senior Editor, Spanish Media at Loyola Press.

A2. Ser Discipulos y Misioneros - Nuestra reflexión quiere promover el encuentro con la persona viva de Jesucristo, pues el reto fundamental que afrontamos es mostrar la capacidad de la iglesia para promover y formar discipulos y misioneros que respondan a la vocación recibida y comuniquen por donde quiera, con desborde de gratitud y alegria, el don del encuentro con Jesucristo.

SESSION A WORKSHOPS: 10:15 – 11:30 A.M.MISSIONA8. EVANGELIZING THROUGH SACRAMENTAL MOMENTS - Sacramental celebrations are times when we are in the

PPC TRAINING

A14. UNITY IN DIVERSITY: CREATIVE TENSION BETWEEN PPC, FINANCE COUNCIL, AND SCHOOL BOARD - Parish Pastoral Councils are great for coming up with ways to spend money. Finance Councils are known for declaring there is no money to spend. The tension between them can be complementary if both have a good vision. If there is a school, this adds to the mix, as it is often fighting for survival. We will explore, based on actual experience, how all can work better together. Rev.

A26. EUCHARISTIC ADORATION: TRANSFORMATION OF A PEOPLE, PARISH, AND ARCHDIOCESE - Hearts and souls are changed in the Presence of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus.

David Jones is the Pastor of St. Benedict the African-East Parish. Marge Hansen is the Parish Sharing Coordinator for the Archdiocese of Chicago.

A31. FACING INFERTILITY: A JOURNEY OF FAITH, HOPE, AND LOVE - About 1 in 5 couples in the U.S. experience infertility. As modern technology continues to expand, decisions about infertility treatments can be confusing. What treatments are aligned with our faith and are affordable, safe and effective? How do we minister to suffering couples in our families, our parishes, and our world?

koncepcji jednoczàcego si´ swiata. Jest zadziwiajàce, ze juz kilkadziesiàt lat wstecz Magisterium Kosciola mówilo o potrzebie globalnego zjednoczenia ludzkosci we wszelkich mo˝liwych aspektach, tak, aby wszelka róznorodnosç mogla pokojowo wspólistnieç na ziemi i w ten sposób realizowaç dzielo zbawiania swiata. THE ROLE OF THE CHURCH IN THE MISSION TOWARDS UNITY OF THE WORLD - The Church, thanks to the teaching of Jesus Christ, appears as the herald of the idea of uniting the world. It is amazing that, already many years ago, the Church spoke about the need of the total unification of mankind in all possible aspects, so that all of its diversities are able to exist peacefully on earth and to realize the work of saving the world.


SESSION B WORKSHOPS: 1:10 – 2:25 P.M.MISSION

B1. DIFFERENT GIFTS BUT THE SAME SPIRIT: COLLABORATION BETWEEN BISHOPS, PRIESTS, DEACONS, AND LAY MINISTERS - Priests, deacons, and lay ministers can sometimes have competitive turf wars. Bishops are seen as “them.” Each ministry is essential and unique while often overlapping. We will explore how we can move from competition to complementarity and collaboration. Rev. Michael Ahlstrom was ordained a priest for the Archdiocese of Chicago in 1969. He has been the Pastor of St. Colette Parish in Rolling Meadows for 14 years. He is currently vicar for the Diaconate Community of the Archdiocese of Chicago.

B2. STRATEGIES TO EVANGELIZE YOUNG ADULTS - Those in their 20s and 30s, though spiritually hungry, are the least active segment of parish life today. We can change that! Join Kate for a working definition of evangelization and to hear the surprising results of recent research on evangelization with and for young adults. Kate DeVries is co-director of the Young Adult Ministry Office for the Archdiocese of Chicago. She holds a Doctorate in Ministry from Catholic Theological Union. Along with her colleague, Fr. John Cusick, Kate co-authored the book: The Basic Guide to Young Adult Ministry, and hosts a monthly radio program: “The Light Show.”

B3. WHO IS REALLY THE PARISH? - The parish does not stand alone, isolated from the community in which it is located. How can parishioners better know their neighborhood, be a part of it, and respond to its needs? Rev. Dominic Grassi is the pastor of St. Gertrude Parish in Chicago and the author of several books, including Bumping Into God In The Kitchen.

B4. POPE BENEDICT XVI’s STATEMENTS ON THE MISSION OF THE CHURCH IN SOCIETY - Continuing the message of Pope John Paul II, Pope Benedict XVI has sounded the call for “reclaiming today’s culture for Christ.” What does this mean? How do we do this? Is it a call for retreat or a radical call to live the Gospel and the thought of Vatican II as we never have before? Come and see! Rev. Jordan Kelly, OP OP is the Director of Evangelization for the Archdiocese of Chicago. In addition to having been a teacher for many years, Father Jordan is also a liturgist and pastoral musician.

Prominent among the Archdiocese’s many noteworthy qualities is the remarkable level of communication between the people and theArchbishop. Speaking about the consultative process, Cardinal George said, “One also has to consult the people themselves, in whomthe grace of Christ works constantly.” The Cardinal went on to describe the many councils and commissions that constitute a formalchannel for his consultation with the people. His interaction with the faithful at gatherings such as Leadership Day is equally importantinformal 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 people’s 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 poÿród wielu wartoÿciowych cech Archidiecezji, bardzo godna uwagi jest znakomita ÿÿcznoÿÿ miedzy ludÿmi a jej Arcybiskupem.Kardynaÿ George, w wydaniu sierpniowym The Catholic New World, (29/8/06) mówiÿc o doradczym procesie, powiedziaÿ, „Naleÿyzasiÿgaÿ rady u ludzi, bo w nich stale dziaÿa laska Chrystusa.” Nastÿpnie Kardynaÿ wymieniÿ wiele grup doradczych i komisji, które sÿ naturalnym kanaÿem dla niego w konsultowaniu siÿ z ludÿmi. Jego obecnoÿÿ podczas zorganizowanego „Dnia Rady Parafialnej” i spotkanie siÿ z uczestnikami tego programu jest równieÿ bardzo waÿnÿ, chociaÿ nie formalnÿ, formÿ konsultacji z ludÿmi. W tym dniu uczestnicy bÿdÿ mieli okazjÿ, nie tylko spotkaÿ, ale i porozmawiaÿ osobiÿcie z Kardynaÿem George. U doÿu tej strony znajduje siÿmiejsce gdzie moÿecie paÿstwo napisaÿ pytanie dla Kardynaÿa George’a. Prosimy o oderwanie tej czÿÿci strony i odesÿanie jej wraz z formularzem rejestracyjnym. Wiÿcej kartek bÿdzie doÿÿczonych do materiaÿu przesÿanego do kaÿdego uczestnika. Kardynaÿ cenisobie kaÿdÿ okazjÿ, by dowiedzieÿ siÿ, czym ludzie siÿ interesujÿ. Skorzystaj z tej wspanialej okazji, by zadaÿ pytanie Kardynaÿowi.

My question for Cardinal George is:
