We invite you to this land of mountains and plains, of clear blue skies and wide-open spaces to Put Out into the Deep: Going Deeper into the Eucharist through Mystagogy. With the guidance and wisdom of internationally renowned speakers, we will dive into the mystery of the Eucharist, discovering the depth of spirituality in this celebration, which is source and summit – the very heart of who we are.

The dying and rising rhythm of Paschal Mystery is
captured in the liturgical ritual itself and challenges us to a certain way of
living, of being Eucharist. How
and why is this so? Sr. Joyce will explore
this question.
Joyce Ann Zimmerman is a member of the Sisters of the Precious Blood and the director of the Institute for Liturgical Ministry in Dayton, Ohio; founding editor and columnist for Liturgical Ministry; and is a past advisor to the U.S. Bishops’ Committee on the Liturgy. She is also an adjunct professor of liturgy, liturgical consultant, and frequent facilitator of workshops on liturgy. She has published numerous scholarly and pastoral liturgical works and holds civil and pontifical doctorates of theology.
Rev. Hugh Tasch, O.S.B.
In this address Fr. Hugh will explore the ‘spiritual
power’ of the Eucharist by discussing 1) the spiritual value of offering
fitting worship to God through our union with Christ and 2) the congregation’s
participation in the sanctifying/consecrating of the bread and wine as well as
its own transformation in the Holy Communion.
The various parts of the Eucharistic Prayer will be described in detail.
Father Hugh Tasch is a Benedictine monk and theology professor at Conception Seminary College in Missouri. He has studied liturgy at Notre Dame and conducted countless retreats and workshops nationwide in scripture and liturgy.
Dr. Kelleher will explore the Eucharist as a ritual
action in which the Church performs its identity as the Body of Christ. Implications of that identity for the
Christian life will be offered.
Dr. Kelleher is an Associate Professor at The Catholic University of America School of Religious Studies in the Department of Religion and Religious Education in Washington, D.C. She received her B.S. from College of Mt. St. Vincent, her M.S. and M.A. from Fordham University and her Ph.D. from The Catholic University of America. She has served in various capacities on the Advisory Committee of the International Commission on English in the Liturgy and as a member of the Brookland Commission on Women Religious and the Intellectual Life. She has written extensively for various publications and is a popular conference presenter.
“Faith
grows when it is well expressed in celebration. Good celebrations foster and nourish faith. Poor celebrations may weaken and destroy
it.” Music in Catholic Worship,
1983, par. 6. The speaker will
address the role of aesthetics in the liturgical celebration.
Fr. Driscoll is currently
Associate Professor with tenure in the Department of Theology at the University
of Notre Dame, Indiana. He received a
B.A. in Philosophy from Carroll College in Helena, Montana. He received his S.T.B., at the Pontificia
Universita Gregoriana, Rome, Italy and his S.T.L. in Sacramental Theology from
Sant Anselmo, Rome, Italy. Continuing
his studies, he attended the Institut Catholique de Paris, France where he
received a Doctorate in Theology with a specialization in Liturgy and
Sacramental Theology. Fr. Driscoll
received his Ph.D. at the University of Paris-Sorbonne, France. He has written numerous articles, papers and
presentations and is a popular lecturer.
Rev. R. Kevin Seasoltz, O.S.B.
As people formed by the Eucharist, we are to take the
presence of Christ with us when we leave the Church. Christ’s presence should condition the way we love, challenge and
support one another. It should empower
us to respond in justice, in forgiveness and in mercy to the needs of the poor,
the underprivileged and the marginalized in our world.
Fr. R. Kevin Seasoltz is a Benedictine monk of St. John’s Abbey in Collegeville, Minnesota and a professor in the School of Theology Seminary at Collegeville. He is the editor of the liturgical journal, Worship.
T1-A Paschal Mystery for Clergy
Sr. Joyce Ann Zimmerman, C.PP.S.
This workshop will draw specific examples for clergy’s Paschal Mystery living that follows upon the major presentation on the topic given by Sr. Joyce Ann Zimmerman. How can a clergy’s way of living the paschal mystery help him pray the Eucharist when presiding? How can this move the whole Eucharistic experience to a true celebration?
T1-B Liturgical Music: Singing the Paschal Mystery
Sr. Kathleen Harmon, SNDdeN, M.M., Ph.D
The Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy recovered our understanding of liturgy as engagement in the Paschal Mystery. This session explores how the Paschal Mystery shapes the rhythm of our lives and how liturgical music, particularly communal liturgical singing, pulls us into this mystery and enables us to surrender more fully to its power.
T1-C Liturgical Ministry – To “Be” As Well As
“Do”
Sr. Anthony Poerio, IBVM
You
can’t give what you don’t have!
Liturgical ministry calls you to feed yourself in order to feed
others. Liturgical ministry is
demanding in whatever role you serve.
One can easily be overwhelmed by the “to do” side of the ministry. It is essential that you take time for your
own spiritual growth in order to minister fruitfully to others.
T1-D To Build with Living Stones: A Look at the Church Building Process
Ken Griesemer
Shaping or reordering the sacred place where we gather to celebrate the Eucharist is an important and challenging task of the ongoing renewal. Ken will address the basics of the church building or renovation process. If you are planning for an upcoming project, or are wondering how to get started, this session will provide some valuable insights.
Rev. Stephen Duyka
The mystery of the Eucharist is “the true center” of Christian life, so says Eucharistium Mysterium, the 1967 Instruction on the Worship of the Eucharistic Mystery. Using this instruction and other liturgy documents,
Fr.
Duyka will discuss the Eucharist as the center of the sacramental life of the
Church.
T1-F An Understanding of the Mass
Rev. Tom Mayefske
For many years we have participated in Mass but never knew its roots nor how the various elements fit together. As a result, we don’t understand our role. This will look at the background and how these elements come together to help us be a worshipping body united with Jesus as we go to the Father.
T2-A Is Eucharist Just for the Presider?
Rev. Roger Schmit, O.S.B.
Fr. Roger will explore how clericalism and other subtle movements can be divisive in our community as we gather around the altar to celebrate liturgy.
T2-B Musical, Spiritual, Liturgical Ministry:
The Role of the Music Minister
Daniel Girardot
Music ministers are called to formation in spirituality and liturgy as well as development of musicianship and leadership skills. Explore these four areas and their relationship to the nature of ritual action. The interplay between these elements and all the liturgical ministries is a key to parish worship.
T2-C Liturgy and the Family
Rev. Mr. Ed and Pat McCarthy
The parish and the family are called to participate with one another in passing on the knowledge and love of the liturgy to our children. Ed and Pat will explain ways of accomplishing that task. .
T2-D Who Moved My Church: Understanding Changes and Transition
Dolly Sokol

T2-E The
Call and the Means to Holiness as they Relate to the Sacred Liturgy
Most
Rev. David Ricken, J.C.L., D.D., Bishop of Cheyenne
Bishop Ricken will discuss the relationship between
the devotional and prayer life of the Church to the source and summit of the
Church’s life, the Holy Eucharist. He
will also examine this relationship in light of some of the teaching from the new
document from the Congregation of Divine Worship, The Directory of Popular
Piety and the Liturgy.
T2-F
Mystagogical Catechesis at the Heart of Catechumenal Ministry
Dr. Jerry Galipeau
Dr. Galipeau will explore the movements of mystagogical catecheses, which takes the human experience of ritual and other key events as its starting point. Discover ways that this type of catechesis shapes catechumens, candidates, and others in Christian formation into believers who can more easily uncover depths of meaning in ritual and life experiences.
Rev. Hugh Tasch, O.S.B.
Fr.
Hugh will explore various ways to catechize on the Eucharistic presence of
Christ. Directed to clergy, the focus
will be on the presence of the Risen Lord and on the ecclesial dimensions of
the Eucharistic presence.
F3-B Spirituality
of Community
Rev. Roger W. Schmit, O.S.B.
Fr.
Roger will discuss the nature of Church community, leadership versus control,
and how the life of a faith community is reflected in Eucharist.
F3-C Paschal
Mystery for the Assembly and Liturgical Ministers
Sr. Joyce Ann Zimmerman, C.PP.S.
Sr.
Joyce will draw specific examples for Paschal Mystery living that follows and
is directed to, members of our liturgical assemblies. How does all liturgical ministry flow from and presuppose a
liturgical spirituality grounded in living the Paschal Mystery?

Michelle Worden
F3-E When All Else Fails, Read the Directions: The Rites of
the RCIA as an Affirmation of the Process of Conversion
Mary Margaret Hoden, M.A.T.
F3-F Justice
and Music in Catholic Worship
Rob Spaulding
What
is justice anyway? And what does it
have to do with music? In this
workshop, we will explore the concept of justice and study the necessity
of using music that expresses principles of justice as we pray and
celebrate. Throughout the workshop, we
will be looking at many examples of liturgical music that express themes of
justice. Please come ready to sing and
participate.
Rev. Michael S. Driscoll
Hymnody and Psalmody have contributed to the celebration and theology on the Eucharist. This workshop will explore the operative Eucharistic theologies presented through the lens of hymns.
F4-B
Two in One Flesh
Rev. Mr. Ed and Pat McCarthy
Sr. Kathleen Harmon, SNDdeN, M.M., Ph.D.
One of the functions of the responsorial psalm is to act as bridge between the first reading and the gospel. Preparation of the responsorial psalm begins, then, with reflection on the gospel and on how the psalm and gospel together are inviting the cantor to a deeper living of the Paschal Mystery.
F4-D Gathered, Celebrated and Sent Forth: Eucharist in the Mystagogical Period and Beyond
Dr. Kathleen E. Carey, Ph.D.
The newly initiated gather for Eucharist, continue to be instructed through the Liturgy of the Word, are nourished by the Body and Blood of Christ and are then sent forth to bring the Presence of Christ to the world. How can we engage godparents, sponsors, families and initiates alike so that their experience of the Eucharist deepens in their spiritual lives? What practical measures can we encourage to assist the continuing formation of these newly initiated?
F4-E To the
Beat of a Different Drum
Rev. Mr. Joe Kristufek

deeper appreciation and understanding of Catholicism as it exists within native
culture.

Grief is a complex reaction that involves our minds, emotions and our spiritual nature. The key to loss adjustment is support. The sharing of feelings with one you trust requires a loving listener who will open the door to easing the pain.
Sr. Debono will explore the sign value of the married couple in conjunction with the Lord’s Paschal Mystery. As example and nourishment toward an increasing life of holiness, the Eucharist is an essential experience for married couples. Further, their witness of faith to the Paschal Mystery enables them to be the salt and light for the world.
S5-E Current Practices for Benediction and
Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament

S5-F Liturgical Spirituality
Sr. Anthony Poerio, IBVM
Liturgy has to connect with our everyday lives. Our everyday lives have to connect with the Jesus story, the Paschal Mystery. To make that connection, we need to anchor ourselves in the worship of the Church. The rhythm of the liturgical cycles have to play the same tune as the cycles of our lives and only then will we experience the transforming power of Word and Sacrament.
S6-A How and Who Makes Liturgical Choices for
Eucharist?
Rev. John Thomas Lane SSS

S6F Anticipating
Art for Sacred Spaces
Jeff G. Smith
Where do we start?
Who should we contact? What do
you say to an artist? How do we find an
artist that fits? Can’t this wait? Who is responsible for what? You don’t like yellow? What about budget, fund-raising, contracts,
codes, maintenance, warranties, copyright, etc., etc., etc., These types of questions often needlessly
hamper liturgical art committees.
Dive into the 2004 SWLC Study Week as we open with Evening Prayer at St. Mary’s Cathedral in downtown Cheyenne with a welcome and opening address by Bishop David Ricken, Bishop of Cheyenne. Evening Prayer will be followed by a progressive reception where you will put out into the Deep of Wyoming’s history and heritage, its food and its people. We will break into three groups and journey to Cheyenne’s Old West Museum, the historic and recently renovated Plains Hotel, and St. Mary’s Cathedral. As we make the journey to each of these sites and live the legend that is Cheyenne, we will come to know why Wyoming is like no place on earth. Transportation provided to and from Holiday Inn.
After a long day on the trail cowboys gathered around an open fire to relax, share grub and enjoy their music together. On Thursday night after dining with the Lord in Eucharist we invite you to join us around an open stage to relax, share food and drink and to join in the Thursday Night Jam. For musicians, those who love good music and those who just want to kick their boots off – take note of the Thursday Night Jam. Bring along any sheet music, props, etc. You will want to be “spontaneously prepared!” It’ll get yer spurs jinglin’.
