WELCOME TO CONGRESS

WELCOME

March 2015
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Welcome to the Los Angeles Religious Education Congress 2015! I am happy
you have chosen to join us to take this opportunity to know Jesus better, and to
grow in your faith.
The theme for this years Congress, SEE, is taken from the beautiful story in
St. Johns Gospel about the blind man who is healed and also receives the gift
of faith.
Pope Francis, speaking of this passage, says it is the story of our lives, too. We
too, he says, must open ourselves to the light of Christ in order to bear fruit
in our lives ... so that, as St. Paul reminds us, we may act as children of light,
with humility, patience and mercy.
This year, we must also take a moment to recognize the many years of service
that Sr. Edith Prendergast, R.S.C. has given to the Archdiocese of Los Angeles
and to the Religious Education Congress. It will be hard for all of us to see her
go, but Id like to thank her for her generosity and dedication over the years,
and to wish her well in whatever the Lord has prepared for her in the future.
I pray that your participation in these days of formation, fellowship, prayer,
and worship will deepen your understanding of our Catholic faith and enrich
your relationship with Jesus Christ, so that He may be always the center of
your lives and ministry.
I entrust our time together to the Blessed Virgin Mary and ask God to bless
you abundantly throughout this weekend.
Sincerely yours in Christ,

Most Reverend Jos H. Gomez

Archbishop of Los Angeles

2015 Religious Education Congress

WELCOME

WELCOME

Dear Friends,
Once again it is my privilege and joy to extend to you a heartfelt welcome to Congress 2015.
Each year you bless us with your presence, your enthusiasm and your ongoing commitment to
share the Good News of our rich Catholic story and traditions.
The theme chosen for Congress 2015 See inspired by the blind mans extraordinary
encounter with Jesus (John 9:1-41) challenges us to See anew, to peer beneath the surface and
see more deeply and broadly. We are invited to open wide not only our physical eyes, but also
the eyes of the heart, the eyes of our memory and perceive Gods presence in all of life, in joy,
in pain, in struggle.
As you will recall, a Religious Education Endowment Fund has been established in the
Archdiocese of Los Angeles for the ongoing education and formation of Directors of Religious
Education, Adult Educators, Young Adults and Youth Ministers. The fund is currently enabling
15 students to pursue a masters degree in Religious Education. Your gift offering at the 2014
Congress Saturday night liturgies together with registration contributions added $50,256 to this
fund. We thank for your ongoing generosity.
The amazing and ever-growing variety of workshops, liturgies, entertainment opportunities
and resources provided throughout the weekend are wells of enrichment and spiritual growth
for you and for your communities of faith. Come and be inspired, stretched and renewed by the
wisdom and the insights shared by national and international speakers.
In the midst of the many activities offered, there is also opportunity to spend time in the quiet
atmosphere of Sacred Space, walk the Labyrinth, linger at the Art Exhibit area and avail of the
sacrament of reconciliation.
It has been a great privilege and blessing for me to direct Congress with the support of great
staff and volunteers for the past 27 years. As I prepare to retire and take time for sabbatical, I
want to express my deepest gratitude to each of you for your remarkable dedication, faithful
support and your passion to bring the vision of the gospel into every sector of the human race.
You will always be in my thoughts and prayer as I cherish great memories of this marvelous
gathering.
Again, I thank you for your openness to the life-changing light of Christ and I look forward to
greeting you at Congress 2015.
Sincerely,

Sr. Edith Prendergast, RSC

Director, Office of Religious Education

2015 Religious Education Congress

abundant blessings in her retirement.
We are grateful for her 28 years

Have the courage for a new approach to time;

Allow it to slow until you find freedom
To draw alongside the mystery you hold
And befriend your own beauty of soul.

To live the dreams youve waited for,
To awaken the depths beyond your work
And enter into your infinite source.

Taste and See the Goodness of the Lord

Has the mystery of faith become a bit too mysterious? Do your parishioners eyes glaze over when you try to explain what we believe?
Macalintal
Look no further for an answer than your baptism when all the baptized
received the ability to see the mystery and goodness of God right in front of us.
Rediscover this power and learn how to use it to help others really see Gods presence in their daily lives.

BIENVENIDOS AL CONGRESO

BIENVENIDOS

Queridos Hermanos y Hermanas en Cristo,

Bienvenidos al Congreso 2015! Me alegra que estn aqu, aprovechando esta
oportunidad para conocer mejor a Jess y para crecer en su fe.
El tema del Congreso este ao, VER, est tomado de la bella historia del Evangelio
de San Juan sobre el ciego que fue curado y adems recibi el don de la fe.
El Papa Francisco, hablando sobre este pasaje, dice que esta es tambin la historia
de nuestras vidas. Nos dice que nosotros tambin tenemos que abrirnos a la luz
de Cristo para llevar fruto a nuestra vida para que, como nos recuerda San
Pablo, podamos comportarnos como hijos de la luz, con humildad, paciencia,
misericordia.
Tambin queremos aprovechar esta oportunidad para expresar nuestra gratitud a la
Hna. Edith Prendergast, R.S.C. por todos sus aos de servicio a la Arquidicesis
de Los ngeles y al Congreso de Educacin Religiosa. Le decimos un afectuoso
adis, agradecindole por su generosa y dedicada entrega a lo largo de los aos y
le pedimos al Seor que la siga bendiciendo en el futuro.
Rezo para que su participacin en estos das de formacin, fraternidad, oracin
y alabanza los ayude comprender la fe Catlica de manera ms profunda y
enriquezca su relacin con Jesucristo, para que as, l siempre sea el centro de sus
vidas y ministerio.
Encomiendo estos das a la Santsima Virgen Mara y pido a Dios que los bendiga
abundantemente a lo largo del fin de semana.
Sinceramente en Cristo,
+ Jos H. Gomez
Arzobispo de Los ngeles

BIENVENIDOS

Queridas amigas y amigos:

Nuevamente es para m un privilegio darles una cordial bienvenida al Congreso 2015. Cada ao
nos bendicen con su presencia, su entusiasmo y compromiso constante de compartir la Buena
Nueva de nuestra rica historia y tradicin catlica.
El tema escogido para este Congreso del 2015 Ver est inspirado en el encuentro
extraordinario del ciego con Jess (Juan 9:1-41) el cual nos reta a nuevamente Ver por debajo de
la superficie, a Ver ms profundamente y ampliamente. Nos invita a no solo abrir nuestros ojos
fsicos, sino tambin los ojos del corazn, los ojos de nuestros recuerdos y percibir la presencia de
Dios en todos los aspectos de la vida, en la alegra, en el dolo y en las penas.
Como ustedes recordaran, se ha establecido la Fundacin Monetaria de Educacin Religiosa en
la Arquidicesis de Los ngeles para la formacin y educacin de los Directores de Educacin
Religiosa, Formadores de Adultos, de Jvenes y Ministerios Juveniles. Actualmente este fondo
apoya a 18 estudiantes para obtener su Maestra en Educacin Religiosa. Las donaciones dadas
en las distintas liturgias del sbado durante el Congreso del 2014 junto con sus donaciones de
inscripcin llegaron a $50,256. Les agradezco su continua generosidad.
El creciente y asombroso nmero de conferencias, liturgias, oportunidades de entretenimiento
y recursos disponibles durante el fin de semana son fuente de enriquecimiento y crecimiento
espiritual para ustedes y sus comunidades de fe. Vengan, insprense, crezcan y renuvense con la
sabidura y el conocimiento que comparten los conferencistas nacionales e internacionales.
Dentro de todas las actividades ofrecidas, siempre existe la oportunidad de pasar un momento de
silencio y tranquilidad en el Espacio Sagrado, caminar el Laberinto, disfrutar de la exposicin de
arte y celebrar el Sacramento de Reconciliacin.
Durante estos ltimos veintiocho aos ha sido para m un gran privilegio y bendicin el dirigir el
Congreso con el apoyo de un excelente personal y voluntarios. Mientras me preparo para jubilarme
y tomar un sabtico, quiero expresar mi ms profunda gratitud a cada uno de ustedes por su
extraordinaria dedicacin, su fiel apoyo y su pasin para traer la visin del evangelio a cada sector
de la raza humana. Siempre estarn en mis pensamientos y oraciones, mientras atesoro bellos
recuerdos de este maravillo encuentro.
Nuevamente, les doy las gracias por su apoyo y abrir su vida a la luz transformadora de Cristo
mientras guan a otros a Ver las maravillas de la presencia sanadora de Dios.
Espero saludarlos en el Congreso del 2015.
Sinceramente,
Hermana Edith Prendergast, RSC
Directora de la Oficina de Educacin Religiosa

PRELUDE PRELUDIO
I Will Lift My Eyes

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.

Tony Alonso

Arena

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.

3. Though I know you have prepared a path for me to follow,

Ill 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.

that your love would be mine. Before the mountains were designed,
before the heavens were aligned, your sweet voice awakened my name.
You found me in my shame, and called me out of my pain.
Boundless love embraces day and night. This grace I cant comprehend,
a love that has no end. When storms arise you are near,
when danger comes, who shall fear? You enfold me in your embrace.
The vision of your face, no dream could ever replace.
Boundless love, receive my humble life, receive my soul all my days,
that I may know your ways. My song shall travel near and far,
to claim the beauty that you are; words of truth and love are sown;
that you, most high, alone, are source and cornerstone.

2015 Religious Education Congress

ENDOWMENT CONTRIBUTORS
The Religious Education Endowment Fund was established by the Office of Religious Education to support the ongoing
training and formation of religious education leaders, particularly by making scholarships available for Directors of
Religious Education, Adult Educators, Young Adults and Youth Ministers to pursue graduate studies. It is our hope that
every Director of Religious Education and Director of Youth Ministry will be given the opportunity to receive a masters
degree in Religious Education/Religious Studies.
Those who registered online could contribute to this Fund, as well as those who made an additional contribution through
mail-in registrations. As of February 1, 623 people responded with contributions totaling $9,052. We sincerely appreciate
and acknowledge their contributions. Because of thoughtful contributions year after year, we have passed the $1 million
mark, and are currently enabled to offer financial assistance to 15 lay ministers involved in Parish Catechetical Ministry
and related areas in Youth, Young Adult and Adult Formation.
