Jesus, the Source of Our Unity:
Formation for the Liturgical Community

Most Reverend Timothy M. Dolan was ordained to the priesthood on
June 19, 1976. He then served as associate pastor at Immacolata Parish in Richmond Heights, Mo., until 1979 when he began studies for a doctorate in American Church History at the Catholic University of America. Before completing the doctorate, he spent a year researching the late Archbishop Edwin O'Hara, a founder of the Catholic Biblical Association. Archbishop O'Hara's life and ministry was the subject of the Archbishop's doctoral dissertation.

In 1987, Archbishop Dolan was appointed to a five-year term as secretary to the Apostolic Nunciature in Washington, D.C. In 1994, he was appointed rector of the Pontifical North American College in Rome where he served until June 2001. While in Rome, he also served as a visiting professor of Church History at the Pontifical Gregorian University and as a faculty member in the Department of Ecumenical Theology at the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas. Archbishop Dolan was installed as Milwaukee's 10th archbishop on August 28, 2002, at the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist.

 

Workshops
Saturday, October 18

Block A: 11:15 – 12:30 p.m.   (A1, A2, A3, A,4)
Block B: 1:45 – 3:00 p.m.    (B1, B2, B3, B,4)
     

A-1 & B-1 Sacrament of Unity
The celebration of the Eucharist-the Sacrament of Unity-often is the focal point of division in our parishes and among our people. We often spend so much time trying to change what others are thinking and doing that we forget about our own need for conversion and a spirituality rooted in love. This session will offer reflections and practical suggestions for ministers who wish to renew their spirits and find once again the joy of their salvation.

Dr. Patrick Gorman, is the director of the Office of Worship for the Diocese of Madison and director of the Madison Diocesan Choir.  As director of the Madison Worship Office, Dr. Gorman has been involved in the liturgical formation and musical training of parish ministers throughout the diocese.  He is a former member of the FDLC Board of Directors.

 

A-2 & B-2 The Spirituality of the Liturgical Minister
Explore each of the liturgical ministries and help people understand how our lives are shaped by our ministry and how our ministry shapes our lives.

Ms. Vicki Klima was Director of the Worship Center for the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis for close to 20 years.  She has a Master's Degree in Liturgy from the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul.  She is currently Director of Leadership Development at Pax Christi Catholic Community in Eden Prairie, MN and is a member of the FDLC Board of Directors.

 

A-3 & B-3 Current Issues in the Celebration of the Holy Eucharist
This workshop will raise and discuss several issues still remaining on the liturgical agenda in the United States, issues such as differing understandings of the Eucharist, the centrality of participation, a search for style, reverence, communion in a culture of individualism, Eucharist and life. 

Rev. Stephen E. Malkiewicz, O.F.M., (M.A., University of Notre Dame) is Director of Worship at Saint Francis de Sales Seminary (Archdiocese of Milwaukee) and teaches part-time at Sacred Heart School of Theology, Hales Corners, WI.  He is presently chairman of the American Franciscan Liturgical Commission as well as a member of the Archdiocesan Liturgical Commission.

 

A-4 & B-4 The Spirituality of Crossing Borders -
Fostering Unity in Diversity

We know that our church is multi-cultural. How do we move beyond simply singing a song from another tradition or having a reading in a foreign language, to embracing a truly Catholic vision of the global Body of Christ in worship?

Ms. Barbara Tracey is Liturgy and Music Coordinator for the multi-cultural parishes of St. Rose and St. Michael in Milwaukee, WI, where multi-lingual liturgies happen every weekend. She works with choirs of children, young people and adults that sing in their native Lao, Spanish, English and Hmong.

Brother Rufino Zaragoza, O.F.M., from Oakland, CA, explores the richness of multicultural communities, researches Asian liturgical inculturation, and lectures on the joys and complexities of intercultural worship.
Br. Zaragosa’s participation in this meeting is sponsored by OCP.

  

A-5 & B-5 Youth Speaking Out from Age to Age
What do young people think about worship and truth? How would they describe liturgy that shapes their Catholic identity?  Come listen to a few high school students as they explore the principles for
vibrant worship found in From Age to Age: The Challenge of Worship with Adolescents.  

Dr. Lisa-Marie Calderone-Stewart, former Director of Youth Ministry for the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, is the director of youth leadership at the House of Peace since 2005.
