GREETINGS FROM THE PRESIDENT President William Miller Dear Colleagues, Diocese of Cleveland On behalf of the Representative Council (which includes our Board of Directors), the Annual Conference Committee and the Staff of NCCL, it is my pleasure to welcome you to St. Louis, and our 78th Annual Conference and Exposition. This year we have chosen the theme: “Energize, Evangelize, Catechize”/”Energizar, Evangelizar, Catequizar”.

St. Louis, a city rich in history and strongly rooted in our Catholic faith, took on special significance when, in 1803, it was included as part of the Louisiana Purchase (the action by which the United States purchased 828,000 square miles of land from France). Its location provided the ideal starting point for one of the greatest territorial explorations in the history of our country: The Lewis and Clark Expedition. Vice-President Mary Jo Waggoner When I think about the brave individuals who set out on that (nearly) 2.5 year trip to the Diocese of San Diego Pacific Ocean and back, I am reminded of the incredible journey of faith that each of us has been blessed to undertake. And over these next several days, we come together for an important part of the journey. Ladies and gentlemen, prepare to explore the wonders to be discovered here at our great annual event. Be part of making history as you design for yourself a course of action that will take you to inspiring keynote addresses, informational breakout sessions, and interesting meetings (formal and informal) with colleagues from around the country (and beyond). Most importantly, participate in uplifting liturgies and additional opportunities for prayer.

In the spirit that drives NCCL, a spirit of hospitality and joy, take the opportunity to welcome those who may be joining us for the first time. Make new friends, and refresh your relationships with current ones. If you are a first-time attendee, please know that Secretary (whether you are a member of NCCL or not) we are delighted you are here! Linda Stryker PCL, Diocese of Omaha Please make a point of spending some quality time visiting the booths of our publishers and exhibitors. Without their commitment to excellence in evangelization and catechesis, without their support for NCCL, this wonderful event could not take place. As you enter into the experience that is “NCCL 2014”, bring with you a spirit of openness and enthusiasm.

Just as St. Louis has long been seen as the “Gateway to the West”, let this 78th Annual NCCL Conference and Exposition be your gateway to new and ever more exciting methods for evangelization and catechesis.

Sincerely in Christ, Treasurer Joanie McKeown PCL, Diocese of Superior Bill Miller President of NCCL

The family is the primary place for the proclamation of Christ.

What does the Hispanic family look like today in the US? How can we preserve and affirm the role of the Hispanic family in the process of passing on the faith to the next generations? What role does sacramental and systematic life-long catechesis have in supporting Hispanic families? What practical resources and strategies are available to reach and equip the Hispanic family to continue to catechize?

La familia es el primer lugar para la proclamación de Cristo. La familia hispana tiene un instinto naturalpara transmitir de la fe Católica y los valores a través de las tradiciones y la religiosidad popular con un sentido de celebración dentro de la comunidad y la cultura. ¿Cómo se ve la familia hispana en los Estados Unidos hoy en día? ¿Cómo podemos preservar y afirmar el rol de la familia hispana en el proceso de transmitir la fe a las siguientes generaciones? ¿Qué papel juega la catequesis sacramental y sistemática de toda la vida en apoyar a las familias hispanas? ¿Qué re cursos y estrategias prácticas están disponibles para apoyar y equipar la familia hispana en su tarea de catequizar?

2014 NCCL Conference 12 St. Louis, Missouri NACMP Sunday Events

Energize, Evangelize, Catechize… All ‘ize’ on Media and Technology! NACMP (National Association of Catechetical Media Professionals) is a partner organization of NCCL. All NCCL conference registrants are welcome to attend.

9:00 am – 12:00 pm All ‘ize’ on Media and Technology by NACMP members Landmark 1 We will participate in a series of short presentations on tools and methods that can help us Evangelize, Energize, and Catechize. This session will also help us organize and finalize who we are and strategize where we will go from here as NACMP. Any person or group that is interested in engaging in the media/ technology conversation with NACMP, or as a member of NACMP, is encouraged to join us.

1:00 pm – 4:00 pm Retreat: Poverty, Prayer and Faith presented by Gerry Straub Landmark 1 NACMP is all about keeping our “ize” on the media and technology tools that energize our community for evangelization and catechesis. During this presentation/retreat, we will turn our ‘ize’ from media/technology methods to content. Gerry will share the dramatic story of his journey from a Hollywood television producer/atheist to a filmmaker focusing on poverty in the worst slums on earth and people who are living examples of the self- emptying love of Christ. The presentation will feature scenes from many of Gerry’s films, with a stress on Uganda, Kenya, Peru and Haiti. NCCL attendees are invited to join us at no charge.

Gerry Straub is a filmmaker and an author. His latest book, “Hidden in the Rubble”, is based on his experience in Haiti after the horrific earthquake that killed over 300,000 people. Tom Roberts of the National Catholic Reporter said, “Gerry Straub is a story-teller with a camera. In an era when news has become so atomized and fast-paced it is almost impossible to get a sense of the whole, Straub engages two great risks. He takes us to see what much of the world would rather ignore, and he does it slowly and reflectively. The risks pay off here in a kind of meditation on Haiti that is simultaneously brutally frank and filled with the hope of religious imagination.” See Gerry Straub’s work at http://paxetbonumcomm.wordpress.com/

9:15 am – 11:00 am Opening Prayer and General Session Majestic E-H The Catechumenal Model as Inspiration for All Catechesis Part I by Mary Birmingham Our Church has definitively affirmed that all catechesis should be inspired by the baptismal catechumenate. This session will address exactly what that means. What is it about the process of initiation that is so essential to the catechetical enterprise? We will answer that important question by exploring the component elements inherent in the Rite of Christian of Adults that should be at the heart of all catechesis with adults, teens and children. Learning outcomes: • Understand the overarching principles of the baptismal catechumenate. • Understand what needs to be included in every catechetical program. • Affirm the ways that programs are already inspired by the baptismal catechumenate and challenge participants to more fully develop this vision.

Mary Birmingham is the Director of Music, Liturgy, and Christian Initiation at Ascension Catholic Community, Melbourne, FL. She has an MA in Theology and Liturgy from St. John University, Collegeville, MN. Mary was a team member for the North American Forum on the Catechumenate and is a popular presenter in the areas of initiation, sacramental and liturgical catechesis.

The Catechumenal Model as Inspiration for All Catechesis Part II by Dorothy Mensah-Aggrey According to the National Directory for Catechesis, catechesis is a ministry that should lead us into communion with Christ (p.55). Catechumens are led to Christ through an intentional process. How do we use this model for children and sustain it as a way of life? Learning outcomes: • Be more familiar with the catechumenal model as a way of life (a process not a program). • Be open to other ways of catechizing the uncatechized, especially children. • Have concrete examples for dealing with specific situations with regards to children.

Dorothy Mensah-Aggrey is the Curriculum Design and Adult Catechesis Coordinator for the Institute for Pastoral Initiatives at the University of Dayton. She has over 30 years teaching experience from children to adults in the fields of education, music and theology; she is currently pursuing a doctorate in Education.

307 Liturgy Update A New Lens for Understanding the Mass Washington by David Haas There are many misunderstandings about the liturgy, even more so since the implementation of the revised Roman Missal. The result in many settings has been an impoverished catechesis – both in content (curriculum) and in the celebration of the liturgy itself. A more corrective and clear understanding of the major elements of the liturgy is needed. Strategies for planning/preparation and strong mystagogia throughout the faith formation journey are needed. This session will break these issues open and help participants to forge a new lens for how learning about the liturgy, and the celebration of the liturgy, is central to the formation of our faith. Sponsored by GIA Publications, Inc. David Haas is director of The Emmaus Center for Music, Prayer and Ministry and serves as campus minister at Cretin-Derham Hall in St. Paul, MN; he also directs their Liturgical Choir.

308 Military Track Transitioning from Military Chapel Life to Neighborhood Parish Life: Benton Youth as Bridge Builders by Donna Glaser Our Catholic sisters and brothers who have served in the military services often need support and understanding, not only in making the adjustments from military to civilian life, but also from “chapel life” on a base or post to “parish life” in a new neighborhood. Welcoming them into active life in our local Catholic communities has challenges and blessings. Often, youth can help build bridges – living as disciples who welcome, evangelize, and invite everyone to become involved in parish life. Sponsored by RCL Benziger.

Donna Glaser, Associate Director, Strategic Partnerships for RCL Benziger, draws on over 25 years of experience in publishing, parish leadership and independent consulting in religious education to energize and inspire adults and children.

Note: Track for those Ministering to Military Families The Archdiocese for the Military Services was created by Pope John Paul II to provide the Catholic Church’s full range of pastoral ministries and spiritual services to those in the United States Armed Forces. This includes more than 220 installations in 29 countries, patients in 153 V.A. Medical Centers, and federal employees serving outside the boundaries of the USA in 134 countries. Numerically, the AMS is responsible for more than 1.8 million men, women, and children. Unlike a conventional diocese, the Archdiocese has no parishes or parish registries. Chapels are property of the United States government. Although the Archdiocese exercises jurisdiction over the religious education programs and the celebration of Catholic Liturgy, it maintains no legal jurisdiction over the physical property of the chapel. The Archdiocese receives no funding from the United States government. Rather, the Archdiocese is solely funded by the generosity of its chaplains, men and women in uniform and private benefactors. (http://www.milarch.org) Mark Moitoza, D.Min. Vice Chancellor for Evangelization and José Amaya, Director of Faith Formation, with the Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA, were instrumental in creating this Track of Learning Sessions for the 2014 Annual Conference.

Quality Ministry Education to Make a Difference in the World

For more than 35 years, the Loyola Institute for Ministry (LIM) has responded to the call of the Catholic Church for professionally trained leaders, to the needs of its ministers for relevant, accessible, and affordable education in theology and pastoral ministry, and to the ever-changing methods and sources of adult faith formation.

Inspired by the 2005 U.S. Catholic Bishops’ statement entitled Co-Worker’s in the Vineyard, LIM has shared the “responsibility for ensuring that the work of lay ecclesial ministers ‘can flourish for the good of the whole community, sustaining it in all its many needs.’” Throughout its history, LIM has acted in response to the documents of the Church, has read the signs of the times, has heard the voices of the people of God, and has responded faithfully, generously and innovatively.

The Loyola Institute for Ministry started in 1968 as the Catechetical and Pastoral Institute of the Archdiocese of New Orleans. It offered summer programming to students who sought to update themselves in light of the Second Vatican Council. In 1978 it became a part of Loyola University's program of graduate studies and was challenged to apply to itself the task of aggiornamento that John XXIII proposed to the Council.

In January 1983, its name was officially changed to the Loyola Institute for Ministry. That same year and in response to requests from bishops in the region, LIM formally inaugurated its ministry education by extension model. The transformative education offered by the Loyola Institute for Ministry Extension program (LIMEX) has inspired thousands of graduates around the country and around the world, many of whom got their start in parish catechetical ministries and would later become diocesan catechetical leaders.

In May 1992, LIM inherited the ownership and mission of the Institute for Pastoral Life in Kansas City, Missouri (IPL). In 1993, these resources provided the foundation for the Loyola Pastoral Life Center (LPLC), the continuing education entity of LIM.

LIM began to offer courses online in 2000 and its programs fully online in 2010. Whether on campus, online or in learning groups in their location, students can pursue master’s degrees or continuing- education certificates in pastoral studies or religious education. As a result, dioceses without Catholic colleges can make available quality, graduate-level studies that take adults’ experience seriously in their efforts to become professional ministers.

Currently LIM has students in the United States, Scotland, England, and Nigeria. In addition, it counts seven inmates at the Louisiana State Penitentiary among its students. LIM has also integrated formation in Ignatian spirituality into its academic program and has begun to offer its Certificate in Theology and Ministry in Spanish. LIM undertook this latter project in response to the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ National Pastoral Plan for Hispanic Ministry, which calls for “leadership formation adapted to the Hispanic culture in the United States that will help people to live and promote a style of Church that will be the leaven of the Kingdom of God in society."

603 Children Catechesis of the Good Shepherd Kingsbury by Therese Noecker The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is based on the conviction that God and the child are in relationship. Age-appropriate themes are presented using visual and physical materials which enable the children, ages 3-12, to experience and reflect on their faith with the help of the Holy Spirit. Our role, as adults, is not to “teach” the children, but to live our faith with them. Therese Noecker started Catechesis of the Good Shepherd at St. Margaret of Scotland Parish, St. Louis, MO in 2003. A lifelong teacher, Therese first trained as a catechist twelve years ago. Her passion lies in imbuing a love of God and the Catholic faith in young children.

604 Evangelization Evangelizing the Baptized: Game-Planning for Conversion and Renewal Landmark 2 by Tom Quinlan “The definitive aim of catechesis is to put people not only in touch, but also communion and intimacy, with Jesus Christ.” (CT 5) With all the talk of new evangelization, how well does our ministry accomplish this among Catholics?

Taking Steps Forward: Make Church Matter by Tom Corcoran, Associate to the Pastor, and Chris Wesley, Director of Student Ministry, Church of the Nativity, churchnativity.tv

Prior to the call of Pope Francis to share the “Joy of the Gospel”, the Church of the Nativity embarked on a process “to grow disciples, develop a healthier parish community, and more intentionally and effectively serve the New Evangelization.” This presentation will include the Church of the Nativity’s story, offer key strategies that drove the transformation of the parish and provide a living witness to the words of Pope Francis in his Apostolic Exhortation: “Whenever we make the effort to return to the source and to recover the original freshness of the Gospel, new avenues arise, new paths of creativity open up, with different forms of expression, more eloquent signs and words with new meaning for today’s world. Every form of authentic evangelization is always “new”. (11) Sponsored by Ave Maria Press.

Thomas Corcoran holds an MA in theology from the Franciscan University of Steubenville. He has served at Church of the Nativity as youth minister, coordinator of children’s ministry and director of small groups. He currently serves as an associate to the pastor and is responsible for weekend message development, strategic planning, and staff development.

1:30 pm - 4:30 pm Selection 1: Moving Members from Consumers to Contributors Landmark 3 by Tom Corcoran and Chris Wesley, churchnativity.tv

The Church is a movement, which means moving members to take greater responsibility for their personal faith as well as the mission of the Church to make disciples. In this session we will look at how you can practically move people to contribute to the mission of the church. Practical questions regarding the recruitment, training, and education of catechists/facilitators for the various age levels will be shared within the philosophy and mission of the parish. How the understanding of adult catechesis at the center of faith formation has formed their vision. Participants will have the opportunity to delve deeper into how parents and families are engaged in catechesis, and be given practical steps for moving their community forward. Sponsored by Ave Maria Press.

2:30 pm – 6:00 pm Selection 2: Now What Do I Say? Landmark 2 by Joanne M. Cahoon, DMin

In your role as DREs and PCLs, you hear all kinds of things! It happens anywhere: in your office, at the end of a sacramental prep session, after Mass, during an interview, before a planning meeting, in catechist training. Individuals and families may share some pretty intense content about what is really going on in their lives: struggles, relationships, achievements, disappointments, health realities, life-changing events, fears, hopes, darkness and doubts, faith questions and more. Why not? You provide a listening and caring ear, hold a perspective that is valued, and represent Church-faith-God in many ways. But do you always know what to say?

Do you know what the person wants from you in sharing it: simple presence, action suggestions, guidance? What is the right language to use in responding? When and to whom do you refer, if appropriate? How do you balance showing ongoing care for someone who has shared much with you with their right to privacy or your own comfort level? Where do you look to get support for yourself, process what you hear and reflect on how it impacts your own concerns or journey?

This session provides time to consider what to say, what to suggest, what to keep in mind, what might need practicing, while caring for oneself in the process. It is rooted in a belief that hearing this content from those we serve is a privilege - and that holding and caring for it well is a responsibility. It aims to increase awareness and ability to act effectively in these situations. Optional role play and feedback from peers will be integrated into the session.

11 SONG OF THANKSGIVING

I WillI Will Lift MyLift Eyes My Eyes Tony Alonso 1. It is time for me to move from my shelter of safety, to sail as a pilgrim over the waves of the sea. It is time to be still and to seek the son of Mary, time to rest, time to leave behind my fears.

2. And I will not fear the storm, though it rages around me, for slowly I am learning to place my trust in you, to forgive every hurt and to loosen every burden, to let go and to follow where you lead.

Refrain

3. Though I know you have prepared a path for me to follow, I’ll never know for certain that I follow where you lead. Still I trust that my desire to please you will guide me; and I trust that you will keep me from harm.

4. I may stumble, I may fall, and get lost on the journey; and my path will surely lead me to the shadow of death. Yet I will not fear the storm, for you are ever with me, never leaving me to face my fears alone.
