Dreams and Visions: Just Imagine What We Can Do Together!
We who work in parish ministry today must keep in mind the Core Work to which the parish is called. That Core Work is set for us by Christ himself, and is shared by all parishes in the Church. If we stick to it, we succeed in helping to establish the Reign of God. If we wander away from it, we find ourselves in confusion. In this address, Bill Huebsch will renew our vision and excite our spirits to embrace this Core Work and make it part of everything we do in the parish!

We Come To Your Feast
This session will correlate the themes of the Jewish Feasts with the celebration of Christian Liturgy, particularly the Mass.

These three feasts symbolized different aspects of the Exodus Event.

Catholic Understanding of Justification by Faith
The Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification by the Lutheran World Federation and the Catholic Church describes the doctrine of justification as "...more than just one part of Christian doctrine. It stands in an essential relation to all truths of faith." This session examines the catholic perspective on the meaning of the doctrine of justification and its importance as a reality to be proclaimed in word and sacrament.

Faith and Hope Intertwined: Reflections on Apocalyptic Literature
The basis of faith is rooted in our experience of God's love in our past experience. That faith grows when we realize that we cannot take one step without hope that God will always be with us on our journey. For ultimately, God will triumph over evil and the reign of God will blossom to its fullest extent. This process is what motivated the apocalyptic writers to envision a future where evil would be overcome.

Book of Job
The Book of Job has much to teach us about life, about God, about evil. This is not an easy book to read or understand. Few ponder in depth the difficult and disturbing questions it raises. We will join those few in listening to God, to Job and to Job's friends speak about the mystery of human suffering and try to discern for ourselves how we can live, as Job did, with both honesty and faith in the midst of the human condition.

Psalms: Contemporary Insights into Ancient Prayer
Reading the Psalms as an important part of our spirituality enriches our personal prayer and helps us in ministry to others.
