Fall 2009 3 Parish Volunteers Bolster Faith for the Future On Tuesday, August 18th, Kenrick-Glennon Seminary hosted a reception for parish volunteer leaders of the Faith for the Fu- ture seminary capital campaign. The reception offered an opportunity for the parish leaders to experience the seminary first- hand and for the seminary to thank them for the generous commitment of their time and talent. The Herald asked the volun- teer leaders, whose duties include organizing meetings as well as making calls and personal visits, why this effort was impor- tant enough to warrant an investment of their valuable time. This is what they had to say: Photos courtesy of Jerry Naunheim, Jr.

St. Paul used all methods at his disposal to ―go into all the world, preaching the Gospel and making disciples.‖

The Herald asked a group of Transitional Deacons: “In your future priestly ministry, what role will modern day technology play in your evangelistic endeavors of going into all the world, preaching the Gospel and making disciples of all nations?

REV. MR. CRAIG HOLWAY, ARCHDIOCESE OF ST. LOUIS, THEOLOGY IV I think things like maintaining a blog or a website can be great tools of evangelization. On a blog or website, a priest can post homilies or new stories that can keep Catholics connected. I've used my cell phone as a prop in a homily to talk about the need to stay connected: as we use cell phones and email to keep connected to friends and family, so we need to use prayer and sacraments to stay connected to God. I'm finding Facebook is a valuable tool to stay in touch with friends, family, and people I've met over the years. If I can stay connected to God in prayer, and friends and family with the help of the internet and other technologies, I can preach the Gospel wherever the need arises.

REV. MR. ZACHARY KAUTZKY, DIOCESE OF DES MOINES, THEOLOGY IV Everyone likes a good story. Story-telling has been an important method of communication since the beginning and continues to speak to the heart of the hearer today. Jesus taught using parables to which the people of His culture could relate. Sacred Scripture itself is a love story between God and mankind. Knowing this, we can utilize striking examples, images, and stories to inspire, challenge, and teach those entrusted to our care.

REV. MR. JOHN MICHAEL VOITHOFER, ARCHDIOCESE OF OMAHA, INTERCESSORS OF THE LAMB, THEOLOGY IV The ramped use of modern day technology is precisely what I would use to bring souls into relation- ship with Christ. What do I mean? In my experiences of ministering to others, I have discovered that modern technology is often used as an escape from attending to our interior life. Instead of contem- plating the deepest desires and longing that God has placed in our hearts for himself, we often find ourselves busied with sending text messages, answer our cell phones, or responding to email etc… The most fundamental and basic cry of every human heart is created for intimacy with God. Even our ramped use of modern technology is a reflection of our yearning to connect with God. In the Acts of the Apostles, St. Paul spoke to a people that were seeking a similar intimate connection. He said, ―For as I walked around looking carefully at your shrines, I even discovered an altar inscribed, 'To an Un- known God.' What therefore you unknowingly worship, I proclaim to you!‖ (Acts 17:23-24) Let us not be afraid to listen to, experience, and respond, in faith, to our heart‘s desire for God.

REV. MR. MATTHEW BENJAMIN, DIOCESE OF KANSAS CITY – ST. JOSEPH, THEOLOGY IV With modern technology, the world we live in is much smaller than that of St. Paul‘s. Our ability to com- municate in an instant has made all of us neighbors, and this can be used for great good. I believe that if we are to be as successful in our mission of spreading the Gospel as St. Paul, holiness is the answer. To continue to strive for holiness, we use the gifts we‘ve been given more effectively with the intercession of our Holy Mother, and the Grace of God, encouraging all to go to Jesus in the silence of Eucharistic Ado- ration. ―For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, has shone in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God, in the face of Christ Jesus‖ (2 Cor. 4:6). 6 Faculty News and Notes
