2 WELCOME Religious Education Congress

3 WELCOME General Info Dear Congress Participant: I am delighted to welcome you to our annual Religious Education Congress. A wonderful source of renewal for our local Church and beyond, this much anticipated event provides us an opportunity to renew our commitment to be evangelizers and to pass on the rich story and traditions of our Catholic faith. The theme Step into Freedom is inspired by the Scripture readings for the Fifth Sunday of Lent. It is the gift that Jesus bestowed on Lazarus as he called him forth, unbound him and enabled him to embrace new life. Through the gift of this same Spirit, Jesus calls us forth, breaks the bonds of sinfulness, and invites us to let go of all that enslaves. I am pleased that so many of you take the time to be enriched and renewed by the many excellent keynotes, workshops, multicultural liturgical celebrations, resources and opportunities to network offered throughout the weekend. Your leadership is vital for the well being and growth of our parish faith communities. Please be assured of my support and encouragement as you so generously dedicate your time and energy to share the Good News of the Gospel and as you challenge our young people to hear and follow the voice of God. Asking the Lord s blessing upon you, your families and your most important Catechetical Ministry, I am Sincerely yours in Christ, His Eminence Cardinal Roger Mahony Archbishop of Los Angeles 3

4 WELCOME Dear Friends, It is a joy to welcome you to yet another celebration of faith and renewal planned for Congress We are always delighted to welcome back those of you who have shared in the gifts of Congress for several years and to extend a warm welcome to first-time attendees. We are truly enriched by the presence and participation of all who gather for this blessed weekend. As many of you will recall, a Religious Education Endowment Fund has been established in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles for the on-going education and formation of Directors of Religious Education, Adult Religious Educators, Young Adults and Youth Ministers. The fund is currently enabling 18 students to pursue a master s degree in Religious Education. Your gift offering at the 2005 Congress Saturday night liturgies brought in $36,000. We also thank those who made a special contribution to the fund with their online registration. The number and variety of insightful and challenging keynotes, workshops and resources offered throughout the weekend provide invaluable support of on-going faith formation and enrichment. The wonderful liturgical celebrations and entertainment weave many sounds, rituals and languages of the cultures and communities of the Archdiocese and beyond. In the midst of the activities offered, there are also moments for reflective prayer, opportunities to walk the labyrinth, and to celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Again, I am most grateful for your participation, leadership and commitment to proclaiming the power of God s liberating presence in the world. I look forward to greeting you at this great annual gathering. Sincerely, Sr. Edith Prendergast, RSC Archdiocesan Director Office of Religious Education Religious Education Congress

A team of 14 calligraphers and artists is creating this Bible highlighed by illustrations and illuminations and under the artistic direction of Donald Jackson.

DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME Sunday, 1:00 a.m. Most of the United States uses Daylight Saving Time (DST) to save daylight hours. At 1 a.m. on April 2, clocks will be set forward one hour, marking the beginning of daylight saving time, effectively moving an hour of daylight from the morning to the evening. Starting in 2007, it will begin the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November, adding about a month to daylight saving time. This year it falls on the fourth Sunday of Lent, right in the middle of our Congress. So set your clocks forward 1 hour at bedtime on Saturday night. Ballroom DE 9:30 p.m. Compline: Prayer at the End of the Day At the setting of the sun we come to join our hearts and voices in praise to God. Compline comes from the Latin completorium (complement), and is the last of the Liturgy of the Hours, the completion of all the Hours at the close of the day. 5 General Info
