B-19 | MAK Board Room | “‘Love one another:’ Well, maybe!”

September 28, 2019GR PMCC Session BSusie Boone

Room: MAK Board Room
Speaker: Dr. Robert P. Marko

In John’s gospel we are called to love another as Jesus loves us. This session examines the obstacles we face as human beings to reach the freedom of the daughters and sons of God that Jesus the Christ lived. We will consider the temptations or passions in the East called cardinal sins in the West along with their opposite virtues. In short, we will consider how primordial or original sin affects us in widening the margins to include all we are called to love.

B-20 | 114 | History of the Gifts of God in the Building of the Kingdom of God

September 28, 2019GR PMCC Session BSusie Boone

Room 114
Speaker: Annette Witte

From the beginning of time God created with a planned order, as if preparing the world like a great and beautiful banquet. The guests invited to the banquet were human beings. They too were designed as gifts to one another. When humanity became aware of the gifts of the world around them, they asked, “Who has made all of this for us?” God responded by entering into a covenant relationship with humanity and in time, gave us the greatest gift, the gift of himself in the person of his Son, Jesus to show us the way back to God. Just as all elements of Creation play a particular role in the kingdom, so do each of us. Come and see how the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd presents to children and adults, how God calls each one of us to recognize our own unique giftedness and offer ourselves in service to help build God’s kingdom until the time when God will be all in all at the Parousia.

RM 210 | Institute 1: “Kerygmatic Witnesses: Saints Proclaiming Jesus in the Acts of the Apostles”

September 28, 2019InstituteSusie Boone

Catechetical Leaders, Youth Ministers, Principals, and Teachers who attend this institute will earn four (4) hours of Professional Theology or Spirituality toward their certification. The institute will be held from 10:15-4:30.

Institute 1: “Kerygmatic Witnesses: Saints Proclaiming Jesus in the Acts of the Apostles”
Following Jesus’ Ascension into heaven and the outpouring of Holy Spirit at Pentecost, the earliest Christians courageously proclaimed the Good News “in Jerusalem, throughout Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Acts of the Apostles reveals women, men, and even entire households responded in faith, were baptized, and lived lives transformed by grace.

In this three-session Biblical Institute we will examine the major sermons of St. Peter, St. Stephen, and St. Paul in Acts to discover the content and form of their proclamation of the Gospel. An emphasis will be placed upon how we can adopt (and when necessary, adapt) their content and form to allow us to be successful evangelists in our world, inviting people into more intimate union with Christ and more complete communion with his Church.

Deacon Kurt Lucas entered into full communion with the Catholic Church nearly 25 years ago. Since that time he has been teaching middle school, high school, and adult students. He married his wife, Cathy, in 1992 and they have nine children. He was ordained to the permanent diaconate in 2007.

A-5 | 112 | Partnering with Parents for Faith Formation

August 28, 2019GR PMCC Session ASusie Boone

Room 113
Speaker: John Graveline

Parents desire to pass their beliefs and values to their children and adolescents. The Catholic Church affirms their role as the first and most important teachers of faith and life. However, it’s often a challenge to get parents and parish working together to form young people’s faith. This session will take an honest look at the current situation, seek opportunities for dialogue and partnership, and look at tested and effective ways to share the joy of the Gospel in both the parish church and domestic church of the home

B-16 | 207 | Transformation of Our Thinking

August 28, 2019GR PMCC Session BSusie Boone

Room 207
Speaker: Dr. Mark Pestana

Understanding who we are is vital to our interactions with people who are different from us. One way of achieving deep self-understanding is to investigate the history of our own most basic ideas. Historians of ideas divide Western Civilization into four great epochs of thought—the Ancient, Medieval, Modern and Post-modern periods. In this session we will examine the common fundamental world views of the thinkers in each of these epochs, the similarities and differences between the eras, attempted explanations for the profound changes in outlook and the compatibility of the common world view of each epoch with the basic Catholic Christian understanding of reality. We will also investigate the current deadly intellectual transformation that Western thought is undergoing into a Post-human outlook.
