F4-A       Eucharistic Hymns as Mystagogical Catechesis
               
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

John Paul II’s Theology of the Body will be explored in the context of the Eucharist.  The celebration of Word, Eucharist and Eucharistic adoration can provide the basis for couples’ reflection on, and discussion of, issues such as commitment, healing, forgiveness, ministry, gratitude and prayer in marriage.

 

F4-C       A Paschal Mystery Spirituality for Cantors
                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

Deacon Kristufek will help form a basic understanding of the Native American culture.  With this foundation, we will move toward deeper appreciation and understanding of Catholicism as it exists within native culture.

                 

F4-F       The RCIA:  Practical Pastoral Challenges
               
Mary Margaret Hoden, M.A.T.

Ms. Hoden will begin with a brief historical overview of the council’s original intent and the theological foundations of the RCIA.  Following this introduction, the workshop will open up as a guided discussion of the practical pastoral issues faced by RCIA leaders as they try to address the needs of a wide variety of catechumens and candidates.  Workshop participants are encouraged to bring issues and questions from their own RCIA experience to serve as topics of discussion.

 

F4-G       A Symphony of Prayer:  Music Ministry in Parish Life
                Daniel Giradot

Music ministry is an integral part of parish life.  How can music ministers unselfishly and lovingly channel their gifts on behalf of a community at prayer?  Explore organizational principles and collaborative ministry techniques that can enliven your ministry.
