What is Ministry Days?Ministry Days is the largest gathering of ministers, catechists and Catholic school teachers in the Diocese of Sacramento.In the Footsteps of the Beloved DiscipleFrom disciple to apostle, the beloved disciple took the words of Jesus to heart. We, too, are God’s beloved and called to be disciples of Jesus. In scripture, we find the Beloved Disciple in close relationship with Christ; reclining next to Jesus, with the Blessed Mother at the foot of the cross, and being the first to recognize the Lord after the resurrection. Jesus accompanies us as we are called to accompany each other in our lives of faith. In the Spirit of the upcoming 2018 Bishop’s synod, we invite you to join us for Ministry Days 2018 as we reflect on the beloved disciple as a model for our own discipleship. See you there!¿Por qué participar en la Jornada Pastoral?La Jornada Pastoral es el evento más grande para ministros, catequistas y profesores de escuelas católicas de la Diócesis de Sacramento. En los Pasos del Amado DiscípuloDe discípulo a apóstol, el discípulo amado tomó en serio las palabras de Jesús. Nosotros, también, somos los amados de Dios y llamados a ser discípulos de Jesús. En las Escrituras, encontramos al Discípulo Amado en relación cercana con Cristo; recostado junto a Jesús, con la Santísima Virgen al pie de la cruz, y el primero en reconocer al Señor después de la resurrección. Jesús nos acompaña puesto que somos llamados a acompañarnos unos a otros en nuestras vidas de fe. En el espíritu del próximo Sínodo de los Obispos de 2018, los invitamos a que nos acompañen para la próxima Jornada Pastoral 2018 mientras reflexionamos en el discípulo amado como modelo de nuestro propio discipulado. ¡Nos vemos allí!

A-01Accompanying Our Neighbor: A Story of HopeThomas AwiapoThe presentation will involve sharing Thomas’s life story of struggle and survival, a story of

hope and how that has impacted and continues to impact his faith and his work. He will conclude by entreating the audience to allow God to use them as His instruments of love and care for our brothers and sisters most in need.This workshop is also offered on Saturday at 11:15am as C-02.

A-02Importance of Retreat for Sacramental prep and ConfirmationJennifer CampbellWho has time for a Retreat? Come to this workshop and walk away with a how to guide for creating your own retreat for your students.

A-03Can You Hear Me Now: Strengthening the Spiritual and Prayer Lives of Middle SchoolersLindsey WestHave you ever tried getting middle schoolers to pray only to have at least one student that doesn’t know what’s going on, a couple students that mock the prayer, and many students that couldn’t care less? Whether you’re a youth minister, teacher, DRE, or play some other role in the faith lives of middle schoolers, it’s possible to lead middle schoolers deeper than most people imagine. In this session we will discuss and practice techniques, styles, and approaches to helping middle schoolers develop and deepen maturing spiritual and prayer lives. Get ready to think, work, and share ideas you can bring back to your parish or school.

A-04Walking Along a Life Long Journey: Creative Steps and SuppliesSue SchuttingerWe travel along a life long journey of continuing conversion and growth in faith but we do not walk alone. Come and join others and experience practical, creative ideas and activities to engage children, young adults and parents. No need to bring back packs, hiking shoes, or even pens and pencils. We will learn by doing and who knows, we may be able to help others in their vocational discernment. Come and take the first step, or be reenergized as we continue the journey.This workshop is also offered on Friday at 2:30pm as B-03 and Saturday at 2:30pm as D-06.

A-05Book Review: iGen’s Super Connected Kids... and What That Means for the Rest of UsSarah Ruano & Kelly BoylanThis session covers Dr. Jean Twenge’s book, “iGen: Why Today’s Super-Connected Kids are Growing Up Less Rebellious, More Tolerant, Less Happy and Completely Unprepared for Adulthood... and What That Means for the Rest of Us.” Presenters will examine key aspects of the book and explore implications for Catholic education in schools, parishes, and at home.This workshop is also offered on Friday at 2:30pm as B-05.

A-07Powerful Prayer Experiences for TeensAaron Del MonteMany young people want to improve their prayer lives, but don’t know where to start. We will help you create meaningful prayer experiences for groups of teens, and will provide you with information young people can use to improve their individual daily prayer experiences. A variety of ideas will be provided, with an emphasis on using popular music as a powerful tool to draw young people into prayer and reflection.This workshop is also offered on Saturday at 11:15am as C-09.

A-08Social Savvy 101: A Jr High/High School Leaders Guide to Using Social Media the Right WaySherry Hayes-PeirceThis session wil l focus on sharing best

practices for using social media. We will review how important it is to craft an appropriate image on social media explore the consequences when you don’t. The course will help students and teachers understand the relevance and importance of social media as a communication tool in framing who they are and how it can be interpreted by others. Attendees will be able to form a personal standard of conduct on social media that frames them as a person not just a profile for popularity!

A-09The “Joy of Love” in a Culture of “Like”Andrew BrownTeenagers “like” everything these days. Yet all those ‘likes’ can’t add up to a fulfillment of authentic love. Do young people know that God has been proposing to us since the beginning of time? How do we invite teenagers to “taste and see” God’s love on earth? Do teenagers know we are an echo of God’s love? Do teens understand the depth of being made in “God’s Image and Likeness”? Perhaps we have a vocation crisis because we have a “love crisis”. In Amoris Laetitia, “Joy of Love”, Pope Francis provides insights, challenges, and opportunities for us to uncover the deepest longing of the human heart. This workshop will equip leaders to respond with charity and clarity to empower the youth to see their dignity, worth, and how to radiate that love in world of “like”.

A-10A Better Way to Teach Respect for LifeLaura OlivaOur culture is filled with offenses against the inherent dignity of the human person. From abortion to the death penalty, Catholics face the daily challenge of sharing the church’s teaching on respect life issues in ways that bring about true and lasting conversion. This workshop will teach attendees how to permanently change hearts and minds on the life issues by approaching these topics through reason and logic. They will learn 10 key principles, how to apply them to any moral issue, and receive a free tool to help them share what they have learned with their parish, school, or family.

A-11Finding Divine Joy in MinistryAnnette RouxHave you ever felt that you have lost the Joy in Ministry? What is Divine Joy and how can we achieve it? What situations can rob us of our joy and how do we overcome them?

A-12Christifideles Laici: The Lay Faithful and their Secular CharacterErrol KissingerIn the footsteps of the Beloved Disciple, the layperson is called to transform secular society through living the faith in all aspects of life: in the family, socially and recreationally, in one’s occupation, etc. This workshop will examine the Apostolic Exhortation Christifideles Laici, which summarizes the work of the 1987 Synod on “The Vocation and the Mission of the Lay Faithful in the Church and in the World” as a detailed attempt to present a better theological framework for the role of the laity in the secular realm.This workshop is also offered on Friday at 11:15am as C-15.

A-13A Biblical Walk through the MassJames CavanaghFrom the outward and visible signs to the invisible spiritual realities underlying them, sacred scripture is the key that unlocks the Mass. At the same time, the Mass is vital for understanding Scripture. In this talk we will explore the fascinating connection between the sacred liturgy and sacred scripture.

A-14Sports MinistryStephen MorrisYouth ministry programs and parish catechesis are distant priorities behind a young person’s love for sports - so how can we minister in sports? Coaches are one of the “top 3 most influential people” in a young person’s life, so how can they evangelize and share the good news in between practice drills and games. Athletics dominates youth culture and the family, let’s stop waiting at the parish for young people to show up and go to where they are.This workshop is also offered on Friday at 2:30pm as B-08 and Saturday at 2:30pm as D-08.

A-15Too Young to Go Forth? Engaging Youth in Global Issues through FaithCarolyn TrumbleYoung people want to go forth and change the world. This session will share methods and resources to engage young people as agents of Christian encounter who respond in faith to a world in need. We will provide practical ways for you to help them make personal connections between their lives and their global neighbors, explore Scripture and Church Teaching in meaningful ways, and take action to live God’s mission locally and globally in response to the pressing issues of our time.

A-16Building BridgesDarcy WhartonIn every school or parish, there are people who feel alienated or forgotten. As disciples, we are called to actively seek out, embrace, and include those on the margins. In this workshop, we will consider the opportunities in working with the LGBT community, divorced and remarried Catholics, single parents, immigrants, and those recently returning to the Church, to name a few! Come with ideas and questions.

A-17Teaching For Discipleship: the call, the challenge, the differenceMike CarottaThis session highlights what the Church is

calling us to do catechetically, the challenge involved, and specific ways we can make catechesis a sturdy , trustworthy place where participants can do the difficult and intimate work of examining their beliefs, faith, and spiritual lives.This workshop is also offered on Friday at 2:30pm as B-16, and Saturday at 11:15am as C-05.

SESSION B WORKSHOPS - ENGLISHFriday · September 28, 2018 · 2:30pm - 3:30pm

This workshop gets everyone involved!

B-05Book Review: iGen’s Super Connected Kids... and What That Means for the Rest of UsSarah RuanoThis workshop is also offered on Friday at 11:15am as A-04. Please refer to Session A-04 for a full description.

B-06The First Call: Baptism Leads to Discipleship Rose HernandezAnyone who helps in preparation for a sacrament knows the difficulty of creating programs and processes that are effective preparation. What if we looked at sacramental preparation in a different light: as a call to conversion and encounter, rather than a list of things to be learned? What would our programs look like if we focused on discipleship and apprenticeship, calling people to know Christ as his disciples did, and experience God’s grace. We will explore ways to begin transforming sacramental preparation into an encounter with Jesus.

B-07Catholic Scouting Awards in Religious EducationJon KantolaThe primary purpose of Scouting award programs is to provide an opportunity to foster the total personal and spiritual growth of each youth participating in the programs. Emphasis is placed on faith development within the young person. These programs afford unique study experiences that help relate the Christian faith to the life of the Scout. Each of the emblem programs reinforces the religious education programs of the parish, complementing existing programs by reaching out to the more general needs and interests of all youth.This workshop is also offered on Saturday at 2:30pm as D-04.

B-08Sports MinistryStephen MorrisThis workshop is also offered on Friday at 11:15am as A-14 and Saturday at 2:30pm as D-08. Please refer to Session A-14 for a full description.

B-09Confession from Priestly PerspectiveFr Mitch MaleszykTo present the sacrament of reconciliation from priest’s side and have discussion about meaning, feelings and show that what matters for people do not matter for priest. Give motivation to use and promote this sacrament. Remind people about confession as a place of love and mercy, not punishment.

B-10Come to the Well Christine JurisichBeing a Catholic school teacher is like no other profession. Every moment of every day you have the honor and pressure of shaping the hearts and souls of your students to love Jesus and follow the Catholic faith. Are you finding ways to nurture your own faith in order to show the face of a loving God that inspires your students? This workshop will give you some time for renewal and inspire you to find new ways to grow in faith.

B-11Reading Scripture Like a CatholicJames WykesReading Scripture is a daunting task - and understanding it can be even harder! Thankfully, the Church has, in its two thousand years on the earth, produced a bounty of theologians to help us navigate the thorny thicket of biblical interpretation. In this workshop, I discuss basic distinctions that can be kept in mind when reading and explaining Scripture and tackle some of the most common questions students have about it.

B-12Liturgy and the Sacred ArtsLawrence KlimeckiScripture tells us to “Worship the Lord in the Beauty of His Holiness.” We are a liturgical people; we are made to offer worship to God who is all Beauty. The sacred arts of architecture, music and art, play a vital role in celebrating a liturgy that is not only beautiful and reverent, but also aids in turning the hearts and minds of the faithful to contemplation of the Divine. In this workshop Deacon Lawrence Klimecki will give an overview of the importance of beauty in our worship and the role the sacred arts play in contributing to this beauty. Drawing on Scripture, Magisterial Teaching, and Tradition, Deacon Lawrence will offer guidelines for incorporating beauty in our liturgical celebrations that help to bring about a fuller understanding of our nature as a liturgical people.

B-13Less Talk More WalkRhyan Ramirez“Forget what you say, watch what you do” has always been a saying that has kept me in check. Our words have no impact, value or influence if we aren’t waking the talk. This workshop will explore the many ways we can walk side by side with our students, teens, young adults, parents and ministries teams. This will create deeper connection with those we serve and those we serve with so that we can carry out Jesus’ mission to make disciples of all nations.

B-14Engaging In Global Solidarity: Resources for the Classroom and CommunityKen PrestonThis workshop will help you to deepen your student’s engagement in global solidarity as a response to God’s mercy. Participants will learn about US Church’s efforts for Global Solidarity overseas, effective resources (curriculum, videos, websites) for classroom engagement at home, and hands-on practical examples of engaging students.

B-15Have the Talk of a Lifetime: How to get your loved ones speaking about their last wishesNicole ZamoraHave the Talk of a Lifetime was created to help families have important conversations about the things that matter most to them and how a person’s life story can be remembered and honored in a meaningful way. Memorialization is so much more than it used to be. Today it can reflect a person’s life story, values, interests and experiences. Meaningful memorialization can be transformative, healing and comforting. Have the Talk of a Lifetime offers families practical advice and tools to help them have conversations about the things that matter most and how they hope to be remembered when they die and for generations to come. Let us help you with the Talk of a Lifetime.This workshop is also offered on Saturday at 11:15am as C-19

C-01Science and the Shroud of TurinFr. Robert J. Spitzer, S.J., Ph.D.The Shroud of Turin is a burial shroud (a linen cloth woven in a 3-over 1 herringbone pattern)

measuring 14 ft. 3 inches in length by 3 ft. 7 inches in width. It apparently covered a man who suffered the wounds of crucifixion in a way very similar to Jesus of Nazareth.

Please refer to Session A-01 for a full description.

C-04Catechumen? Candidate?

C-07Partnering with ParentsJulie MoodyChurch documents tell us that parents are the primary educators of their children in passing on faith, values and traditions. They can’t do this alone. As parish leaders, we must discover ways to welcome, encourage and partner with our families. Come spend an interactive session sharing experiences, resources, challenges and best practices. Plan to come away with two or three practical ways to inspire and encourage your parents in their all important vocation.

C-08The Rise of “Nones”: Exploring the Realities of Young People and their Relationship with the ChurchDr. John Rinaldo

Data from Pew Research, CARA, and the National Study on Youth and Religion all suggest that young people are disaffiliating from the Church in large numbers. Some studies suggest that as many as 50% of Millennials describe themselves as “none” when asked about religious affiliation. In this workshop, we’ll explore what the data is actually suggesting, and, more importantly, how the Church might respond to the changing mindsets of youth and young adults.

C-09Powerful Prayer Experiences for TeensAaron Del MonteThis workshop is also offered on Friday at 11:15am as A-07. Please refer to Session A-07 for a full description.

C-10Allowing Youth To Stand In Awe: Meeting God In Our Natural WorldElizabeth Fahey I would like to focus on the importance of youth developing a relationship with the natural world in order to appropriate their faith through youth and adolescence. Like the quote from the bishops that discusses John’s example, vocation, faith, and discipleship are an ongoing, gradual process, that requires appropriation. I want to offer a theological basis for tools to help children build a relationship with the natural world that gives way to greater faith, hope, and love.

C-11Restorative justice practices and principlesErnest UwazieThe presentation reviews key principles and promises of restorative justice in the community and justice system.

C-13Renewing your Liturgical SelfJohn Michael ReyesAs beloved disciples, we encounter the God of the living in our own ways when we celebrate the liturgy. Those called to liturgical and music ministry bear witness to the Spirit’s call to service that flows from and back to the assembly. Yet, for some, serving can become rote.

C-20Como quitar el rencor y las raíces de amargura del corazónClaudia MartinezEl perdón es uno de los regalos más preciados y más difíciles de dar. Ya sea que hayamos tenido un severo conflicto con nuestra pareja o algo que olvidamos hacer, algo que prometimos y no cumplimos.

C-21La Clave al autodominio: desarraigar el vicio y dominar la virtudAndrea Vasquez TejadaEn este taller, desarrollaremos nuestro

Es preocupante y no es fácil lo importante es obrar de una manera adecuada para impedir que ese alejamiento se aumente, pues muchas veces una reacción equivocada es la que hace que los chicos se aparten aún más. Dialoguemos!

En este taller descubrirá como se puede vivir con el amor y pasión todo el tiempo, permitiendo que Dios sea percibido a través del sacramento del Matrimonio. Aprenda como el Encuentro Matrimonial Mundial brinda las herramientas de comunicación que permite que las mariposas en su estómago comiencen a revolotear una vez más. Permitiendo que sus seres queridos vean que el Matrimonio puede ser un bello sacramento y no lo que los medios han percibido que es.

C-28La Historia de Salvación en la BibliaYolanda BarajasRepaso sobre las etapas más significativas en la Historia de Salvación desde la Creación al surgimiento de la Iglesia.

C-30La Eucarista: Uniendome al Misterio Pascual de CristoOlga FloresEl sacramento de la Eucaristia es la actualización y participación en el gran acontecimiento salvador de la Muerte y Resurrección de Cristo.

SESSION D WORKSHOPS - ENGLISHSaturday · September 29, 2018 · 2:30pm - 3:30pm

D-01Science, Near Death Experiences, and the Shroud of TurinFr. Robert J. Spitzer, S.J., Ph.D.We’ve all heard accounts of near death

experiences – but what do scientists say? Are they considered valid for scientific research?

D-02Effective practices for Sacramental Prep: First Eucharist and ReconcilliationJean NelsonThis workshop is also offered on Friday at 2:30pm as B-01. Please refer to Session B-01 for a full description.

D-03RCIA Adapted for Children and Teens: Begin the Adventure!Lori Smith and Rita Schillin“Since children who have reached the use of reason are considered, for purposes of Christian initiation, to be adults (canon 852:1), their formation should follow the general pattern of the ordinary catechumenate as far as possible, with the appropriate adaptations permitted by the ritual. They should receive the sacraments of baptism, confirmation, and eucharist at the Easter Vigil, together with the older catechumens.” (RCIA National Statutes for the Catechumenate #18). We will introduce you to the evangelizing potential of the RCIA Adapted for Children and Teens in your parish.

D-09A Better Way to Teach Respect for LifeLaura OlivaThis workshop is also offered on Friday at 11:15am as A-10. Please refer to Session A-10 for a full description.

D-10Mass Incarceration: Why Should Catholics CareCharlene HarrisCriminal justice systems in the United States are in crisis. The United States has the highest incarceration rates of any country in the world. More than 2.3 million Americans are in state and federal prisons. For African Americans, the numbers reflect a more frightening situation, with one in 15 African American males over 18 years of age behind bars, compared to one out of 36 Latinos and one out of 106 white males. In 1982, President Ronald Reagan officially announced the “War on Drugs.” Misguided drug laws and draconian sentencing requirements have produced profoundly unequal outcomes for communities of color. Catholic Social Teaching, Human Life and Dignity, remind us that every human person is created in the image and likeness of God. This is why Catholics should care.

D-11Getting to Know Your new NeighborGenevieve LevyI will give a comprehensive overview of the refugee resettlement process in the United States and work that is being done locally in the Diocese of Sacramento. This will also cover basic cultural competencies of working with these recent arrivals, many of whom are from Afghanistan as well as how your school and/or parish can support refugees locally and abroad by taking action. Additionally, I hope to present or invite our Managing Attorney of Immigration Legal Services to review what being a “sanctuary” site really means and what churches and schools can do if ever visited by ICE agents. This can also cover an overview of recent immigration policies and answer concerns/questions.

D-12Renewing your Liturgical SelfJohn Michael ReyesThis workshop is also offered on Saturday at 11:15am as C-12. Please refer to Session C-11 for a full description.

D-13Unbound Model; Five Keys to Healing and DeliveranceLoree LippsmeyerI will give a brief description of what deliverance prayer is and introduce Unbound deliverance prayer specifically. I will cover the 5 Keys of Unbound in detail and share my own experience with Unbound prayer.

D-14Being CalledDcn Jim McFaddenVocation is not something we choose. To be called is to be chosen which occurs within a context of an I-thou relationship with God. The clearest indication that we have experienced this chosen relationship of being beloved is the desire to give back, to share what has been given to us in abundance. When that happens, discipleship begins.

D-15Engaging the Parish with Engaged Couples preparing for the Sacrament of MatrimonyAndrew BrownImagine if Pope Francis was leading the parish Marriage prep Ministry. What would it look like? What would he say? In Amoris Laetitia (Joy of Love) the Holy Father gives specific & descriptive ways to evangelize couples preparing for the Sacrament of Matrimony. Here’s the conclusion: It begins at birth and it doesn’t end on the wedding day! See how the ‘visible sign’ of marriage points to an ‘invisible reality’ God’s perfect love.

D-16Re-imagining Parish Life in the Light of EvangelizationDr. John RinaldoCan we just be honest for a second? Catholic

ministry is not forming intentional disciples in the way we hoped it would. More than a decade of research bares this truth out. Evangelization calls us to reach out to the unchurched and engage them in the life of Christ. Small tweaks and changes are not enough to have the impact that we are hoping for. We must reimagine and restructure our model of ministry. If you’re ready to change the way you do ministry, then this session is for you.

D-17Youth Ministry Fundamentals 102Lindsey WestThis workshop is a continuation of the morning workshop (C-18) on best practices in youth ministry. We will do a quick recap of the vision for comprehensive youth ministry from the morning session and then dive into hands-on training in best practices for giving dynamic talks and facilitating effective and meaningful small groups. This 102 workshop will provide a foundation in youth ministry for those who are new to serving in youth ministry or those who want a refresher.
