Dr. Carmen Nanko-FernandezStudy Days II: Thursday, October 11, 10:15a – 11:00a

“En las Calles y en Nuestras Casas: Ritualizing the Daily Latinamente”Popular religious expressions, the “faith of the people,” engage affective, aesthetic, and kinetic dimensions of our humanity, dimensions that have always been important parts of our rich faith tradition. Today, practices and perspectives that arise from the heart of our Latin@ reality are revitalizing this aspect of our Catholic faith. This ritualizing of and in daily life reconfigures public and domestic space, interrupts the rhythms of “business as usual,” and challenges participants and observers alike to contemplate anew the imperatives of justice and right relations called forth by the reign of God.

• Dr. Carmen Nanko-Fernández is an assistant professor of Pastoral Ministry at the Catholic Theological Union in Chicago. She is the co-editor of New Theology Review and a past President of the Academy of Catholic Hispanic Theologians of the United States (ACHTUS).

Rev. Brett Hoover, CSPStudy Days III: Thursday, October 11, 1:30p – 2:15p

“The Parish as Hub of Faith: An Intercultural Toolbox for Communion”What are we to do when parishes function more like cultural crossroads than village congregations? Recent data on the increasing size and diversity of parishes makes this question ever more urgent. And let's face it, liturgical ministry can be intimidating when the ekklesia turns out to be a gathering of distinct cultures, generations, social classes, and ecclesiologies. Fortunately, there are some tools in the intercultural toolbox—tools both sociological and theological—that help us recognize the power and range of cultural differences before we make unwise moral judgments about them. Some of these particularly help leaders in multicultural parishes. They can help us listen for unexpected cultural differences, observe how power differences impact parish life, and learn how to invite those (especially in the younger generations) who do not see the point of sacraments and liturgy.

Rev. Dr. Brett C. Hoover, CSP, is a Paulist priest who teaches in the Theological Studies department at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. He is the author of several journal and magazine articles and three books, including the latest: Comfort: An Atlas of the Body and Soul and Losing Your Religion (Riverhead, 2011). In addition to teaching faith and culture classes at LMU, he directs COPIM, a cultural orientation program for international priests. He completed his Ph.D. in 2010 at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley and has taught at the three Catholic theological graduate schools there as well as at Loyola University in Chicago. Ordained in 1997, he has worked in culturally diverse Catholic parishes in New York City, Northern and Southern California, and in the Midwest.

Most Rev. John R. QuinnLocal Day Keynote: Friday, October 12, 9:30a – 10:30a

“Vatican II and the Liturgy:Looking to the Future with Hope”Archbishop Quinn will help us reflect on how Vatican II changed the way we celebrate and understand the liturgy, see where we are today in light of that call, and give us some areas of hope where we can work for further implementation and continued development of the Council’s vision of full, conscious, and active participation in the liturgy and its role in Christian life.

The retired archbishop of San Francisco, Most Reverend Quinn served as the president of the United States bishops conference from 1977 to 1980. In 1999, he published the book The Reform of the Papacy in response to Blessed Pope John Paul II’s encyclical Ut Unum Sint calling for Christian unity.

Rev. John PedigoLocal Day, I-1:Friday, October 12, 11:00a – 12:15p

“With Liturgy and Justice for All: How the RomanMissal Teaches Us to Glorify the Lord by Our Lives”The Liturgy is indeed the "work of the people," but where is thiswork directed: to a more "perfect" ritual, or for something more?This workshop will help liturgists, preachers, and social action ministers enter into a more productive and collaborative relationship by addressing the missiological implications of the Roman Missal, whose revised texts and options call us to preach more clearly a Gospel of justice for those on the margins. Respecting the rubrics, this workshop will show how liturgists and preachers can help the faithful to experience the radical call of justice and how the liturgy itself can move the faithful to engage in radical justice themselves in their daily lives.

Fr. Jon Pedigo, STL, is a native of the Bay Area and a priest of the Diocese of San Jose.

“Reconfiguring Parish: Reshaping Our Vision of Churchfrom a Building on a Corner to a People on a Mission”American Catholics are attached to their churches. One of the mosttroubling issues emerging from the attempts to restructure parishes in different dioceses of the United States is the intense conflict that arises among people with the reconfiguring of local church.

Dcn. William T. Ditewig II-3 / A-3 : Friday, October 12, 2:00p – 3:15p

“Deacons at the Liturgy: Theology and Praxis”While it is important to know what deacons are to do (and not do)in the liturgies of the Church, it is perhaps even more important toconsider why they are asked to do these things. This workshop is not a "how to" session as much as it is a "why to" conversation. It is designed to show how the deacon's liturgical ministries are "source and summit" of all aspects of ministry, and it is designed for all who serve with deacons liturgically.

“Praise and Worship and Mass: Can They WorkTogether?”Can praise and worship music mix with Sunday liturgy without watering either down? In this workshop, a Catholic praise and worship leader and musician will help you assess and know how to incorporate the good things about this style of music and prayer while avoiding some of the pitfalls that can make it more performance than prayer and more individualistic than communal. Learn how to make the liturgy more accessible to a wider variety of ages and musical sensibilities.

Jon Manongdo is a singer and songwriter whose purpose and vocation is to serve God with the talents afforded to him by the Father. Through music Jon captures the stories of everyday life, and couples it with the hopeful message of the Gospel.

“Prays Well with Others: How Liturgical Leaders, Clergy, and Communities of Different Cultures Can Become Better Partners in the Parish’s Liturgical Life”Today, it’s not unusual for a pastor from one culture to be assigned to a parish of another culture, and more and more parish leaders find they need to minister to the liturgical needs of people who don’t speak their language.

“Young Adult Catholics: What They Seek in the Liturgy,the Church, and their Daily Lives”Most young adults today tend to look beyond difference and enter into a variety of diverse communities more easily than their grandparents or parents do.
