Men's Alumni Winter Seminar
Guest House

This retreat will build on the spirituality of the Twelve Steps and the writings of Pope Francis. The goal will be to look at everyday life as the place of encounter with God; the place where He invites us to healing, freedom and new life. Karl Rahner writes, “The Christian of the future will be a mystic or he will not exist at all.” The mystic is the one who opens his eyes to God’s presence in the midst of the ordinariness of everyday life. This idea is the goal of the spiritual awakening of the Twelve Steps, “improving our conscious contact with God” which brings us the gifts of sobriety, happiness and inner peace.

Ministry Enrichment Gathering®
Liturgy Training Publications

In the liturgy, the faithful experience and celebrate the presence of Christ among them in Word, in sacrament, and in their brothers and sisters.

Through catechesis, storytelling, Church documents, art, music, and videos, participants renew their insight and energy for their ministries. All liturgical ministers need a deep understanding of the Mass to help lead the parish community to recognize the Eucharist as the source of nourishment for their lives as Christians. This gathering offers participants the opportunity to reflect on the power of the liturgy for themselves and those they serve.

Human Rights in Christian Perspective

The idea of inherent, universal human rights, protected under international law, has come to represent the best hope of many for freedom from the suffering of injustice.

2019 Catholic Social Tradition Conference
University of Notre Dame

If the moral test of a society is how it treats vulnerable people, the signs of the times suggest there is significant room for improvement in communities around the world. By assembling experts in Catholic social ethics, the conference seeks to identify social issues with practical responses adequate to address the difficulty of resulting injustices.
