READING Acts of the Apostles 1: 6-9
When the apostles and Jesus had gathered together, they asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to
Israel?” He answered them, “It is not for you to know the times or seasons that the Father has established by his own authority.
But you will receive power when the holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, throughout Judea and
Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” When he had said this, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him
from their sight.
RESPONSORIAL PSALM Psalm 104
GOSPEL ACCLAMATION ♫ Alleluia
GOSPEL Matthew 5: 13-16
En aquel tiempo, Jesus dijo a sus discípulos: “Ustedes son la sal de la tierra. Si la sal se vuelve insípida, ¿con qué de le devolverá el sabor? Ya
no sirve para nada y se tira a la calle para que la pise la gente. Ustedes son la luz del mundo. No se puede ocultar una ciudad construida
en lo alto de un monte; y cunado se enciende una vela, no se esconde debajo de una olla, sino que se pone sobre un candelero, para que
alumbre a todos los de la casa. Que de igual manera brilla la luz de ustedes ante los hombres, para que viendo las buenas obras que uste-
des hacen, den gloria a su Padre, que está en los cielos.”
COMMISSIONING SERVICE
PRESIDER: Many of you gathered here have been called to service in the liturgy.
With gratitude and joy we will now commission you and ask for God’s blessing upon you.

F-6 The Journey Within: Contemplative Spirituality for the Everyday Catholic Tom Booth Repeat of Workshop C2 page 23 (Friday)
We discover God “in the depths” where “streams of living water flow” in the heart of every
believer. The good news is often better than we imagine and learning to “pray always” is the
key to a life lived in union with God. We will learn to pray in simple and deeper ways in this
workshop focused on spirituality and prayer. Music, teaching, and stories filled with humor
will encourage and uplift those who attend.
See Tom Booth’s bio on page 23

F-3 The Gifts of Praying in More than One Language Dr. Hosffman Ospino
BILINGUAL Repeat of Workshop C4 on page 24 (Friday)
Tens of millions of Catholics in the United States speak and pray in more than one language.
A true catholic experience! This workshop is an invitation to appreciate better what it means
to be bilingual and affirm the gift of articulating one’s faith in different languages. We will draw
insights from contemporary research in the fields of linguistics, education, and psychology,
then conclude with practical recommendations to develop multilingual moments of worship
and prayer.
See Dr. Hosffman Ospino’s bio on page 29
F-4 Carrying the Liturgy into your Daily Life Dr. Anne McGuire “Go, the Mass is ended” is so unfulfilling! Discover connections between liturgy and life that
are inherent in what we do and who we are. Explore new relationships that surface in daily
living, if we allow the liturgy to truly engage us.
Dr. Anne McGuire is a parish liturgist and music director, whose background includes
university teaching, programming at a Shrine, and frequent articles on pastoral liturgy.
She has a Ph. D. in theology, with an emphasis in liturgical history, from the University of
Notre Dame. Anne is passionate about liturgy, a faith rooted in the paschal mystery, and
the universal call to saintliness and holiness. Her own journey of faith contributes to her
passionate involvement with all of the arts. She works at St. Pius X parish in Omaha,
Nebraska.

Dismissal from Workshops
F-1 RCIA and the Initiating Community Rita Thiron, MA “The People of God, as represented by the local Church, should understand and show by
their concern that the initiation of adults is the responsibility of all the baptized. Therefore,
the community must always be fully prepared in the pursuit of its apostolic vocation to give
help to those who are searching for Christ. In the various circumstances of daily life… all the
followers of Christ have the obligation of spreading the faith according to their
abilities. Hence the entire community must help the candidates and catechumens through the
process of initiation...”(#9) How then, is each member of the parish community invited to
participate in the catechumenal process? How might the parish -- its members and its
mission -- be strengthened in turn?
See Rita Thiron’s bio on page 18
F-2 Proclaiming the Word: Bringing Scripture to Life for Deacons, Catechists and Lectors Dr. Daniel Girardot Proclaiming the Word of God for liturgical celebrations or any group gathering in the parish is
an art form that requires faith formation and special training in the art of proclamation. Come
to learn practical techniques, borrowed from professionals in the disciplines of theater arts,
vocal pedagogy, and scripture study, to transform your reading into a vibrant proclamation of
faith. These techniques will help engage the hearts of the people of God through effective
proclamation of the Word with skill and conviction. This session includes an applied training
component for all participants.
Dr. Daniel Girardot, in his 40th year of church ministry, served the Diocese of Austin as
founding Office of Worship coordinator, Diocesan Coordinator of Music, and faculty mem-
ber for the Institute for Spiritual Direction, Institute for Ministry, and Deacon Formation
programs. He served as Director of Liturgy and Director of Music at St. Theresa Church in
Austin TX for over 36 years. Dr. Dan is a liturgical theologian, liturgist, pastoral musician,
pastoral studies teacher, spiritual director, husband to his wife Ann, and the encouraging
father of three adult musicians. He is a member of the SWLC Board and the Diocesan of
Austin Liturgical Commission, and is a writer, clinician and frequent presenter at national
conferences and dioceses throughout the country.

Opening — General Session I
REVEREND PAUL TURNER

Conception in Kansas City, Missouri and director of the Office of Divine

General Session II
Mr. Robert Feduccia
Liturgy in a Missionary Key
St. Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict both have said that the documents of the Second Vatican
Council remain our compass as we advance well into the 21st century. Often called a “missionary
council”, Vatican II called the Church to return to its evangelistic origins and set the Church on a mis-
sionary footing. This evangelistic mandate is echoed in the call of Pope Francis to be missionary
disciples. This message has implications on how we serve, catechize, and worship. Our general session
today will provide a path forward for liturgical worship at this time in the Church.
Robert Feduccia, Jr. was the founding director of the Youth Liturgical
Leadership Program at Saint Meinrad School of Theology and was also
the general manager for Spirit & Song, the contemporary music division
of OCP (Oregon Catholic Press). Robert combines his unique set of
experiences as a parish youth minister, retreat leader, and keynote
presenter with his graduate degree in theology, and is able to express
spiritual depth in way a way that is relevant to the real concerns people
face today.

E-4 Liturgy, Hospitality, and the Communion of Saints
Michael Prendergast and Dr. Anne McGuire
Repeat of Workshop D-4 page 28 (Thursday)
This workshop will reflect on hospitality in liturgy, music, and the Communion of Saints that
models full, conscious and active participation in the liturgical life of the Church. In particular,
liturgy, which is the full expression of the Body of Christ, is manifested in holiness which is
inherent in humanity, especially evidenced in the saints and holy people we encounter daily.
See Michael Prendergast’s bio on page 19 and Dr. Anne McGuire’s bio on page 34
E-5 The Sung Prayer of the Fifth Encuentro: Prayer of the Heart
Pedro Rubalcava
BILINGUAL
THIS WORKSHOP IS BEING SPONSORED BY OREGON CATHOLIC PRESS
How does our liturgy and prayer call us to live the message of the Fifth Encuentro? This work-
shop will explore some of the repertoire of music that accompanies the living of the Fifth
Encuentro and sends us forth as people of faith.
Pedro Rubalcava is a nationally known bilingual/bicultural clinician, composer and performer
with expertise in various musical styles. Dedicated to searching for and creating prayerful
experiences of the Divine through music, liturgy, the arts and beyond, he has been directing
liturgical music groups for more than 40 years. His pastoral ministry for the past 33 years
includes liturgy and music, evangelization, youth and young adult ministry, catechetical
ministry and RCIA. Pedro received national recognition in 1990 when Amanecer, his
bilingual music collection, was nominated for a Grammy award in the Best Mexican/
American Performance category. Currently, he is the Director of Music Development and
Outreach for OCP, where he has worked the past fifteen years. He also serves on the executive boards of
the Instituto Nacional Hispano de Liturgia (INHL), the National Council for Hispanic Ministry (NCCHM) and
the Northwest Regional Office for Hispanic Affairs (NWROHA). He resides in Damascus, Oregon, with his
wife, Kristin.
E-6 Real Presence: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow
Reverend Marcus McFadin
Repeat of Workshop D-5 page 28 (Thursday)
What is the Real Presence today, in the 21st century? Medieval theological terms have been
around a long time. How do they translate for us today for today’s generations and for
contemporary catechesis and mystagogy. Polls has faults but also point us to the need for
updated language. We need to move from Eucharist as an object of adoration (a noun) to
Eucharist as a verb, a way of life.

E-1 RCIA: Preparing Rites that Foster a Sense of Mystery and Enliven Faith
Timothy Johnston
THIS WORKSHOP IS BEING SPONSORED BY LITURGY TRAINING PUBLICATIONS
RCIA #75.3: As “the source and summit of the Christian life,” the liturgy is the primary place
where we are formed and transformed for mission (Catechism 1324). In this workshop, we
will discuss why intentional preparation and celebration of the liturgical rites during the
Period of the Catechumenate are important in the overall formation of catechumens.
See Timothy Johnston’s bio on page 23
E-2 Liturgical Arts: Renovating or Building a New Place of Worship
Jim Heck
Whether you want to just ‘spruce up’ your worship space, renovate your church to better
support the liturgy or build an entirely new structure, there are guidelines that can help you
with your project. The process for a successful church project uses thoughtful guidelines that
go beyond the experience with space in your home or a typical commercial building. Small
or large projects can benefit from a professional approach.
Jim Heck is a Principal Architect with Fisher Heck Architects of San Antonio, Texas. His
firm specializes in religious architecture, historic preservation and master planning. Jim
oversees all the firm’s religious architectural design. His firm has worked on over 180
church projects of all types, sizes and denominations throughout Texas. He has served as a
member of the Interfaith Forum on Religion, Art, and Architecture Design Committee in 2013-2014; was a workshop panelist for the SWLC Study Week 2015, the presenter for a
September 2016 ACLS webinar about the restoration of San Fernando Cathedral in San
Antonio, a speaker at the 2017 Dallas Ministry Conference and a speaker at the SWLC
2019 in Houston presenting a talk on practical advice on the building process from inception through com-
pletion of construction. Jim has been a member of the Association of Consultants for Liturgical Spaces since
2011 and is currently a member of its Board of Directors. Fisher Heck has received numerous design and
construction awards for architecture and historic preservation. Most notably, the firm was honored by the
Interfaith Forum on Religion, Art and Architecture with a 2015 Religious Art and Architecture Award for
Liturgical/Interior Design for its renovation of St. Monica Catholic Church in Dallas.
E-3 Entering the Mystery: Mystagogy and Praying the Mass
Brother Silas Henderson, SDS
This presentation will explore the ancient way of prayer known as “mystagogy” and its power
to help us enter into the Divine Mystery at the heart of the Mass and all the Church’s
liturgies. An ideal session for RCIA team members, liturgical ministers, and catechists, this
presentation will help every Christian rediscover how mystagogy can form and transform our
experiences of the Church’s prayer by helping us reflect more deeply on the words, symbols,
and rituals of the liturgy. See Brother Silas’ bio on page 25

A- 1 RCIA: National Statutes for the Catechumenate
Rita Thiron, MA
In November 1986, the United States Bishops passed thirty-seven statutes related to the
process of Christian initiation. By early 1988, they were approved by the Vatican. This session
will examine these important, but often-neglected mandates which serve as particular law for
the dioceses of the United States. They are designated to inform and impact pastoral practice,
sacramental policies, and liturgical celebrations regarding catechumens, candidates, uncate-
chized Catholics, and children of catechetical age. Clergy, RCIA teams, and parish staffs should
be familiar with Statutes’ content and wisdom.
Mrs. Rita Thiron serves as the Executive Director of the Federation of Diocesan Liturgical
Commissions (FDLC). She has been a member of the FDLC since 1993 and has served on
the Board of Directors and multiple committees. She formerly served as the Director of
the Office of Worship in the Diocese of Lansing and as the Director of Adult Education
and the Catechumenate at Holy Family Parish. She holds an MA in Theology from the
University of Notre Dame and a BA in History from Xavier University. She is the author
of seven books and countless articles and is a frequent presenter in the dioceses of
the USA.
A-2 Liturgical Arts: Art for the Church
Carol Frenning
All of our worship spaces have some form of art in them. We all believe that a worship space
should be beautiful. Where does this idea come from? Why do we have art in our churches?
Why do some things stay the same and others change during the year? Can art help our
prayer or is it a distraction? Understanding the role of art in the church can aid us in
selecting the art whether it will be a permanent or temporary art form.
Carol Frenning is the Program Director for the Graduate Certification Program in
Liturgical Art and Architecture at St. John’s University, Collegeville, Minnesota. She is a
liturgical design consultant with extensive experience working with congregations
throughout the country as they build or renovate their worship spaces. Carol serves as
a founder and past president on the board for the Association of Consultants for
Liturgical Space. She served as chair of the national advisory board for IFRAA-AIA
(Interfaith Forum on Religion Art and Architecture which is part of the American Insti-
tute of Architects). She was on the national planning board for the Form/Reform confer-
ence and the board for Faith and Form magazine. She served as the convener for the Visual Arts and the
Liturgy Seminar of the North American Academy of Liturgy. She is past chair of the Society of Architectural
Historians Minnesota Chapter as well as past chair of the art and environment committee for the Archdio-
cese of St.. Paul and Minneapolis.

Lectio Divina can lead us both into the word of God as well as into the presence of God in

Sent to Accompany Through Witness and Solidarity THIS PRESENTATION IS BEING SPONSORED BY THE OFFICE OF HISPANIC MINISTRY, DIOCESE OF TUCSON
Breaking bread in the Eucharist prepares the Christian disciple to break bread with those she/
he encounters in and beyond the liturgical space, especially those most vulnerable. The term
accompaniment derives from the Latin ad cum panem or sharing bread with others. Let us
reflect on the intimate relationship between breaking bread and Christian solidarity.
Hosffman Ospino, PhD is an Associate Professor of Theology and Religious
Education at Boston College where he is also Director of Graduate
Programs in Hispanic Ministry. He has served as the principal investigator for

D-4 Liturgy, Hospitality, and the Communion of Saints
Michael Prendergast & Dr. Anne McGuire
This workshop will reflect on hospitality in liturgy, music, and the Communion of Saints that
models full, conscious and active participation in the liturgical life of the Church. In particular,
liturgy, which is the full expression of the Body of Christ, is manifested in holiness which is
inherent in humanity, especially evidenced in the saints and holy people we encounter daily.
D-5 Real Presence: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow Reverend Marcus McFadin
What is the Real Presence today, in the 21st century? Medieval theological terms have been
around a long time. How do they translate for us today for today’s generations and for
contemporary catechesis and mystagogy. Polls have faults but also point us to the need for
updated language. We need to move from Eucharist as an object of adoration (a noun) to
Eucharist as a verb, a way of life.
Reverend Marcus McFadin is a priest of the Diocese of El Paso and pastor of St. Luke
Catholic Church. He serves as acting director of the Office of Worship and chair of the
Diocesan Liturgical Commission. He recently earned the Doctor of Ministry Degree from
the Oblate School of Theology in San Antonio, Texas.

A-5 During and After Mass: Glorify the Lord
Reverend Heliodoro Lucatero, Ph.D. BILINGUAL
In the celebration of the Eucharist, as in all liturgical celebrations, we gather together to
celebrate the presence of God, mediated by Jesus Christ. It is a presence that sanctifies us
and nourishes us by Word and Sacrament not only to constitute us as God’s children, the
communion of saints, God’s holy nation, the mystical body of Christ, and temples of the
Holy Spirit, but also we receive the strength to be missionary disciples, to go out into the
world to give witness of the good news of the Kingdom of God, and to proclaim God’s love
to all by Word and example.
En la celebración de la Eucaristía, como en todas las celebraciones Litúrgicas, nos reunimos para celebrar la presencia
de Dios, teniendo a nuestro Señor Jesucristo como mediador. Es una presencia que nos santifica y nos alimenta por me-
dio de la Palabra y del Sacramento no solo para constituirnos como hijos e hijas de Dios, la comunión de los santos,
nación consagrada, el Cuerpo Místico de Cristo y templos del Espíritu Santo, sino también recibimos la fuerza para ser
discípulos misioneros, para salir al mundo a proclamar la buena nueva del reino de Dios, y llevar a todos al amor de
Dios de palabra y ejemplo.
Rev. Heliodoro Lucatero is a priest of the Archdiocese of San Antonio, Texas. Born in Coli-
ma, Mexico, he studied at the Catholic University of Louvain, Belgium. After thirteen years
of parochial ministry in eastern Washington state, he earned a PhD in liturgical studies at the
University of Notre Dame. In the past Fr. Lucatero has served as chair of several organiza-
tions including the National Hispanic Institute of Liturgy (INHL). Presently he serves in the
Hispanic Sub-Committee of the Bishop's Committee of Divine Worship; and is a member of
the advisory board INHL. He is the Director of the Secretariat of Liturgy and Christian
Prayer of the Archdiocese of San Antonio and pastor of St. Joan of Arc Parish. His published works include
The Living Mass: Changes to the Roman Missal and How We Worship published in English and Spanish.
A-6 The Bees are Back: What’s the Buzz with the New Exultet
Martin Marklin
With the third translation of the Roman Missal, we find that the bees have returned to the
Exultet the long-awaited proclamation of the resurrection that opens the Easter Vigil. After
the discipline of Lent and the intensity of Holy Week, the Church rejoices to hear the good
news. Learn about the meaning of the Exultet the virtues of the bees that extols, and the
candle that it praises. This lively presentation will brighten your appreciation of Easter,
deepen your respect for bees, and inspire you to go forth and Spread the Paschal Light of
Jesus Christ into the World!
Martin Marklin is a candle maker, woodworker and beekeeper. His background in theology
and liturgy began in childhood while serving at the side of his pastor and namesake, Msgr.
Martin B. Hellriegel, and continued at St. John’s College in Annapolis, Notre Dame and the
Catholic Theological Union in Chicago. In 1985 Martin received the Thomas J. Watson
Fellowship for a “Wanderjahr”—a year of independent study and travel through central
and Eastern Europe. Martin and his wife, Christine, are principals of Marklin Candle Design,
responsible for designing and fabricating candles and liturgical appointments for over thirty
years. They live in New Hampshire with their four children, dozens of farm animals and millions of honey
bees.

Rita Thiron, MA
Christ’s Message is Made Known by Word and Deed
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults repeatedly makes clear that the initiation of adults
is the responsibility of all the baptized. The rite envisions that the entire community is
actively involved throughout the process of initiation. “The faithful should remember that
for the Church and its members the supreme purpose of the apostolate is that Christ’s
message is made known to the world by word and deed and that his grace is communicat-
ed. They should show themselves ready to give the candidates evidence of the spirit of the
Christian community and to welcome them into their homes, into personal conversation,
and into community gatherings” (RCIA 9.1). Why did the bishops of the Second Vatican
Council see the need to restore the catechumenal process? Why did they boldly remind
each of us that we have the duty to invite, influence, and inform those who seek to know
Jesus and his Church? What, then, does a parish process look like? How might we
reexamine what we say and do during the period of the pre-catechumenate? Whose
message are we sharing? How can we best “glorify the Lord by our lives”?
Mrs. Rita Thiron serves as the Executive Director of the Federation of
Diocesan Liturgical Commissions (FDLC). She has been a member of the
FDLC since 1993 and has served on the Board of Directors and multiple
committees. She formerly served as the Director of the Office of Wor-
ship in the Diocese of Lansing and as the Director of Adult Education and
the Catechumenate at Holy Family Parish. She holds an MA in Theology
from the University of Notre Dame and a BA in History from Xavier
University. She is the author of seven books and countless articles and is a frequent
presenter in the dioceses of the USA.

D-1 RCIA: A Church of Accompaniment is a Church on Mission
Timothy Johnston THIS WORKSHOP IS BEING SPONSORED BY LITURGY TRAINING PUBLICATIONS
RCIA #75.2 and 75.4 states that “in Baptism, we are intimately united to Christ’s divine life.
This love and grace rouse us from our pews and compels us to go forth and share the
Gospel.” In this workshop, participants will explore ways in which the community accompa-
nies and forms catechumens in the Christian way of life as well as how the liturgy sends the
Church out on mission to build up God’s kingdom. (See Timothy Johnston’s bio on page 23)
D-2 Liturgical Arts: Looking at Your Church Building with Fresh Eyes
Ken Griesemer
Over time, a church building needs attention and tender loving care. Sometimes the needs
and solutions are simple and sometimes they are more involved. Considering principles such
as noble simplicity, hospitality, inclusivity, quality and appropriateness can help in evaluation and
planning. Ultimately, we want our places of worship to support our liturgical and devotional
prayer, and to glorify and proclaim our generous and loving God.
Ken Griesemer has worked as a liturgical designer and consultant around the country since 1985, and
established his liturgical design consulting firm in 1999. In 1993 Ken completed studies at the Institute
for Liturgical Consultants at Catholic Theological Union in Chicago. He has been an associate board
member of the Southwest Liturgical Conference since 2002, and is a founding member and past presi-
dent of the Association of Consultants for Liturgical Space (ACLS). Ken has been active in RCIA

We are lectors, deacons, servers, choristers, musicians, presiders…. We are Christians within the

B-4 Liturgy and Justice: More than a “Pretty” Mass
Reverend Scott Brubaker
Liturgy is a transformative experience. Preparing our celebrations is about more than making
them aesthetically pleasing. The rites of the Church have the potential power to foster
awareness of who we are and what we are called by Christ to do in our world. What this
means and how we pray our rites with hearts open to discovering our role in Gods justice
will be the aim of our time.
Fr. Scott Brubaker has been a priest in the Diocese of Phoenix for over 35 years. He
studied for ordained ministry at The Catholic University of America. He also obtained an
M.A. in Pastoral Liturgy from the University of Santa Clara. Fr. Scott served as Vicar of
Worship for his diocese for 13 years. He has taught classes and conducted workshops
throughout the country, and especially in the Southwest, promoting the implementation

C- 5 Liturgy as Pathway from Conflict to Communion
Reverend Miguel Mariano and Pastor Steve Springer
2017 was the 500th anniversary of the beginning of the Reformation. In preparation for the
joint observance of that anniversary, the Catholic Church and the Lutheran World Federation
adopted a statement of mutual understanding and purpose, “From Conflict to Communion.”
This workshop will explore the liturgy of the eucharist and the liturgy of the world as arenas
of ecumenical dialog and engagement. In the liturgy of the eucharist, although there is not yet
eucharistic sharing, the 20th century Liturgical Movement has caused the diverse liturgies of
the Mass to converge, giving us a common framework and language for dialog. In the liturgy
of the world, Christians from diverse backgrounds can participate together in the liturgy of
the hours, rites of blessing, prayer vigils, hymn fests, and more. Participants in this workshop
will learn how both creative liturgy and ancient liturgy offer new ways to build ecumenical
understanding and ties.
Rev. Stephen Springer is pastor of Dove of Peace Lutheran Church in Tucson, Arizona, part
of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). In 1994, he obtained his M.Div. from
the University of Chicago Divinity School, an ecumenical and interfaith institution. As an
ordained Lutheran pastor for the last 22 years, he has participated in a variety of shared
ministries, interfaith dialogs, and advocacy projects with diverse faith communities in Texas,
Louisiana, and Arizona. In 2006 and 2007, he was appointed to educate and promote
worship and liturgy in the Arizona and Nevada congregations of the ELCA. Since 2016, he
has been invited to explain and promote From Conflict to Communion, an agreement of ecu-menical cooperation between the Lutheran World Federation and the Roman Catholic Church.
Reverend Miguel Mariano is a priest of the Diocese of Tucson serving as the Worship Office
Director and the Liaison of the Diocese to the Interfaith and Ecumenical community. He
works and relates with the spiritual leaders bridging the commonalities and differences that
lead to prayer and community as people of faith. He is currently the pastor of St. Odilia
Parish in Tucson. Fr. Miguel completed his studies in liturgy at the Liturgical Institute.
C-6 Discipleship and the Call to Ministry Brother Silas Henderson, SDS
Inspired by St. Paul’s words, “It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me,” this
presentation will explore how discipleship can and must be the foundation of our individual
ministries. Exploring the call to communion and mission outlined in Scriptures—and explored
in the US Bishop’s Coworkers in the Vineyard of the Lord—this workshop will help ministers to
find stability and focus as we manage too-busy schedules and the demands of modern parish
life.
Brother Silas Henderson is a member of the Society of the Divine Savior and executive
director of the Tucson-based Jordan Ministry Team. He holds a Doctor of Ministry De-
gree in liturgy from Catholic Theological Union at Chicago and a Masters in Theological
Studies from St. Meinrad Seminary and School of Theology. A theologian, catechist and
retreat leader, Bro. Silas is the author of four books and his reflections and articles on the
liturgy, spirituality, Mary and the Saints, and discipleship have appeared in a variety of

THIS WORKSHOP IS BEING SPONSORED BY THE OFFICE OF DEACONS, DIOCESE OF TUCSON
“In the light of the El Paso and Dayton events and others over recent years, the liturgy can be
a source of comfort and strength in times of chaos and conflict. When the shootings, disasters
or tragedy face us, we ‘run to church’ or have an ecumenical service. Are we praying because
we don’t want to take action or are we praying for the strength and courage to take some
action – whether it is a call to the legislators for gun control, climate control or mental health
services, and so forth.” (Sr. Lois Paha, OP). In this session we will look to the Liturgy of the
Hours, and most especially the Psalms, as powerful God-given sources of healing response,
both communally and individually.

B-5 The Assembly’s Voice: Sacred Music in the Liturgy
Peter Kolar
BILINGUAL
We come to Mass not to be passively entertained but to participate fully, consciously, and
actively in the banquet of our Lord. It is a right and responsibility that we have as members of
the gathered Body of Christ. When the liturgy is treated as a show or spectacle, the assembly
remains disconnected from ritual, when in fact we play a privileged part in it. We trust our
musical leadership and choirs to be informed by the documents and to make good decisions
on our behalf from song and lyric selection to how the music is performed and led. Only when
they are truly attentive to “the main choir” (the assembly!) can we achieve the vision of our
church in which all members of the faithful are actively involved in the liturgy, raising our
voices together in praise to God.
Peter Kolar is the Editor for Spanish and Bilingual Resources at GIA Publications, Inc. A
bilingual composer and classically-trained pianist, his works include the bilingual mass setting,
“Misa Luna,” sung for the papal liturgy in Philadelphia, and a solo piano CD, “Variations.”
Peter holds a Masters degree in music composition from Northwestern University and sits

B-6 Evangelization Misunderstood
Reverend Leon Strieder
Evangelization is not about winning the argument but about winning hearts. Some folks think
evangelization is apologetics. In fact, apologetics only works for the already convinced. It helps
folks confirm their faith. To reach those who have little faith, we must be better listeners. Faith
comes through hearing says St. Paul.

Worship and the Catholic Imagination: The Church as Sacred Space
The fire that wrecked Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris last this year was clearly a cultural as well as
a religious tragedy. People identified with the Cathedral historically, culturally and nationally. Prompted
by this tragedy we might ask foundational questions such as, “Why do we need buildings to worship
in?” or “What does a worship space actually do?” This reflection will engage such questions not by
getting into complex issues of liturgical architecture but pastorally.

C-2 The Journey Within: Contemplative Spirituality for the Everyday Catholic Tom Booth
We discover God “in the depths” where “streams of living water flow” in the heart of every
believer. The good news is often better than we imagine and learning to “pray always” is the
key to a life lived in union with God. We will learn to pray in simple and deeper ways in this
workshop focused on spirituality and prayer. Music, teaching, and stories filled with humor
will encourage and uplift those who attend.
Tom Booth is a composer and has traveled internationally giving concerts, retreats and
speaking engagements. His formation in liturgy is rooted firmly in the spirit of Vatican II.
He brings this sense of the wider community, the people of God, to his understanding
of personal spirituality. Contemplation and meditation leads us back to the altar table with
our brothers and sisters on the journey to salvation, and that same communal experience
strengthens our call to the journey within. He has experience in music, liturgy, youth
ministry, campus ministry and prayer/spirituality. Tom is a certified Spiritual Director and
clinician for Oregon Catholic Press (OCP) and is the music director for St. Thomas More
Catholic Newman Center on the campus of the University of Arizona. His well-known songs include Sacred
Silence, Here I Am, Find Us Ready and many others. Tom lives with his wife Tammy in Tucson, Arizona. They
have three wonderful, adult children, and patiently await the arrival of their first grand-child in January of
2020!
