Dear Friends in Ministry,

It is my pleasure to invite you to attend our annual Chicago Catechetical Conference. This annual event

gives us a time and space to gather as catechetical leaders working with families, adults and youth in the

Archdiocese of Chicago. It is a place to share, to pray and to network with each other.

This year’s theme: Believe, Deepen, Proclaim, The New Evangelization – grounds the focus on deepening our

own lives of faith as we work to share the Gospel with family, friends and neighbors to encourage them to

grow closer to Jesus Christ.

Keynote addresses and enrichment sessions were intentionally designed to help us as catechists reflect and

deepen our own faith lives and help us live out the New Evangelization. Presentations will be available in

English, Polish and Spanish.

It is my hope that these two days will enrich you and will serve to deepen your commitment to live as

disciples of Christ.

See you there!

Evangelizing Witness: Stand with the Lord

Pope Benedict, in declaring the Year of Faith wrote that “Faith is choosing to stand with the Lord

so as to live with him.” How do believing and deepening prepare us to stand with Jesus Christ?

How does our standing with him help us to “proclaim” the faith as we witness to what we believe?

4-3 Catholic Families Celebrate Sunday

Margaret M. Brennan, D.Min

On the seventh day, after creating the sun and

the stars, the waters and the earth, the fish, the birds,

the crawling creatures, and man and woman, God

rested and enjoyed the goodness of creation.

In observance of the Torah, the Jewish people keep the

Sabbath as a day set apart for worship and for rest.

Christians honor the third commandment by making

Sunday a time for prayer and worship. As Catholic

Christians we begin our week with Sunday Mass. Using

Celebrating Sunday for Catholic Families, this

workshop will explore the practice of keeping the Lord’s

day holy and explore ways that family life can be

enriched and energized by the Sunday Eucharist.

call to peace building and 3) visualize specific ways it

could strengthen and deepen this call to Gospel

nonviolence in its pastoral team, its ministries, and

within its larger community.

4-5 Educación sobre la fe, en la fe y con fe!

Hna Sonia Avi, IHM

El hogar es una gran escuela donde las

lecciones no sólo se escuchan o se leen sino que se

respiran, se palpan, se gustan, se pisan; donde

maestros y alumnos intercambian misteriosamente sus

papeles; y donde todas las circunstancias según como se

modelen, pueden formar a la persona o empobrecerla

irreparablemente. Compartiremos sugerencias

prácticas para la educación en la fe dentro de los

hogares. Válido para la re-certificación — Ministerio de Catequesis

Keynote Address in English -The New Evangelization: What’s a Catechist to do?

The New Evangelization calls each of us to deepen our faith – to believe in the Gospel

message - and to go forth to proclaim the Gospel. But do we as catechists really believe?

How do we proclaim? Can we deepen the faith of those we minister to in the secular

world today when so many are experiencing a crisis of faith?

A tall order – but Mark will weave theology and catechesis together with prayer, music,

storytelling, and a bit of humor – and suggest ways we can begin to sort it all out.

Mark Friedman is highly regarded throughout the United States as a religious educator, teacher, author, and

composer of religious music. He holds an undergraduate degree in Education from the University of

Cincinnati, and a Master of Arts in Religion and Pastoral Ministry from the Athenaeum of Ohio/Mt. St.

Mary’s Seminary. Mark began his work in education as a classroom religion teacher in Cincinnati, Ohio,

where he became a religion curriculum specialist, conducting workshops for teachers in the Archdiocese of

Cincinnati.

Charla Principal en Español—La familia, espacio de evangelización y fe

La familia es la estructura social básica. Como Iglesia, también nuestro fundamento está en

la familia. Es preciso integrar el tema de la evangelización y el Año de la Fe en el ambiente

familiar para que la misión de la Iglesia pueda llevarse a cabo. Hablaremos de pautas de

análisis de la realidad y elementos prácticos de acción para convertir la familia en espacio

de evangelización y fe.

Juan Luis Calderon llegó a Estados Unidos desde España el año 2001 como Subdirector del Centro de

Pastoral Hispana de la Arquidiócesis de Newark: el Centro Guadalupe. Su sueño de juventud fue servir a

Dios en el Amazonas como misionero. Con el paso del tiempo, los estudios eclesiasticos en la Universidad de

Navarra (Pamplona, España), un título en teología en la Universidad Gregoriana (Roma, Italia) y muchos

años aprendiendo de la experiencia de Dios de la gente, han sido fundamentales para hacer crecer su relación

con Jesucristo.

Temat przewodni Sympozium po Polsku - Nowa ewangelizacja / Rola katechetów teraz

i w przyszłości

Ludzkie życie nie spełnia się samoistnie. Nasze życie to sprawa otwarta, niedokończony

projekt, który trzeba dopiero uzupełnić i urzeczywistnić. Podstawowe pytanie każdego

człowieka brzmi: jak tego dokonać — jak stać się człowiekiem? Jak nauczyć się sztuki

życia? Jaka droga prowadzi do szczęścia?

Ewangelizować znaczy wskazywać tę drogę — uczyć sztuki życia. Na początku działalności

publicznej Jezus mówi: Przyszedłem, aby głosić Ewangelię ubogim (por. Łk 4, 18). To

znaczy: mam odpowiedź na wasze najważniejsze pytanie; wskazuję wam drogę życia, drogę

szczęścia, więcej — ja sam jestem tą drogą. Czy my katecheci znamy tę drogę? Czy nią kroczymy? Czy

ukazujemy ją naszym studentom? Jacy jesteśmy i jacy być powinniśmy jako katecheci? Ks. Stanislaw Jankowski -Urodziłem się w Polsce. Kiedy miałem 18 lat , moja rodzina przeprowadziła się do

Chicago. W tym mieście studiowałem, pracowałem i poznałem moją nową rodzinę – Zgromadzenie Księży

Zmartwychwstańców. Po 3 latach, powróciłem do Polski, aby kontynuować naukę w seminarium

duchownym . Po 7 latach otrzymałem święcenia kapłańskie w Krakowie. Następnie zostałem przydzielony

do posługi w nowicjacie Zgromadzenia Zmartwychwstańców ( pierwszy rok przygotowania kandydatów do kapłaństwa) w roli ojca duchowego. Po kilku latach posługi w Polsce, powróciłem do Chicago. Służyłem jako

wikariusz w Bazylice Św. Jacka i jako proboszcz w kościele Św. Jadwigi. W tym roku zacząłem moją nową

posługę proboszcza w Bazylice Św. Jacka.

Estamos llamados a comunicar con

transparencia de una manera inteligente y creíble y

fácil de entender la persona de Cristo, y aún más, de

hacerlo con gusto, con alegría. Hay por lo menos cuatro

elementos principales que Jesús hizo cuando Él nos

estaba mostrando cómo crear discípulos. Él no sólo nos

ordenó a ser discípulos; además de la orden, él fue

mostrándonos el camino para señalar a sus seguidores

como ellos mismos también pueden lograr hacer

discípulos. Vamos a explorar los cuatro elementos y sus

implicaciones de como Jesús dijo a sus seguidores

vayan y hagan Discípulos.

5-5 Katecheci jako uczniowie Chrystusa/ Nasza

odpowiedzialność jako uczniów Chrystusa w

ówczesnym świecie

Fr. Ryszard Gron

Człowiek jest powołany, by być uczniem

Chrystusa. Katecheta wie, co znaczy być Jego uczniem.

Zna sposoby naśladowania Jezusa w życiu. Wskazuje

na Sakramenty, jako źródła przyjaźni i więzi z Nim.

Uzasadnia potrzebę współpracy z Chrystusem w

rozwoju swojej wiary. Rozumie potrzebę

odpowiedzialności w dawaniu świadectwa o Chrystusie

słowem i czynem. Benedykt XVI powiedział: „Bądźcie

uczniami Chrystusa i głoście go ludziom” Godziny doszkalania zawodowego– Credo

nowej ewangelizacji

Fr. Maciej Galle

Świadomość podejmowanej misji katechetycznej

wymaga ciągłej formacji duchowej.Przygotowanie do

wiernego przekazywania orędzia wiary w świecie, w

którym panuje pluralizm światopoglądowy, rozwijanie

ducha misyjnego nie jest łatwe. Dlatego jest ważne, aby

doskonalić siebie w sferze duchowej. Formacja

doktrynalna powinna być przede wszystkim

pogłębianiem wiary. Pomagać w dojrzewaniu osobie,

jako wierzącemu i jako apostołowi. Właściwe

zrozumienie formacji katechety winno mieć na uwadze

potrzeby obecnej chwili społecznej wraz z jej

wartościami, wyzwaniami i cieniami, aby umieć na nie

odpowiedzieć.

powołaniem. By zachować życie ludzkie na ziemi,

powołał do istnienia społeczność rodzinną. Rodzice są

pierwszymi stróżami i opiekunami życia. Przyjmując

dar życia, jako największą łaskę Boga przyjmują

wszystkie obowiązki wynikające z tego

błogosławieństwa. A zatem rodzice są pierwszymi

katechetami i najważniejszym przykładem do

naśladowania.Winni więc dążyć do wychowania

potomstwa do pełni kultury ludzkiej i do wychowania w

duchu religijnym,włącznie z wszystkimi funkcjami,

które charakteryzują rodzinę, jako"Kościół domowy"

oraz jako "domowe sanktuarium Kościoła".Włącznie z

dostrzeganiem w kręgu rodzinnym "jakby pierwszego

seminarium", formującego powołania kapłańskie.
