5. “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). Her areas of specialization are US Hispanic/Latino/a theologies, Catholic
social teaching, interreligious, intercultural relations, youth, and the intersections
of faith and popular culture.

6. “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

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.

7. “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.

8. “With Liturgy and Justice for All: How the Roman
Missal Teaches Us to Glorify the Lord by Our Lives”
The Liturgy is indeed the "work of the people," but where is this
work 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. He

FDLC guide “Liturgy in a Culturally Diverse Community: A Guide Toward
Understanding” will also be presented. What has been learned since the last publication
of this document in 2002 in helping to bring people of different cultures and languages
together in the same liturgy? (This workshop is repeated in the afternoon.)

10. “When the Spirit Says Sing: Forming Vibrant
Assemblies and Music Ministers through the Spirit of
the Psalms of the Black Catholic Church”
Explore the unique characteristics and gifts that Black Catholic
music and prayer offer to the Church and how these gifts can enhance your own
experience of prayer and worship in a diverse community. Learn how to help music
ministers deepen their own spirituality using their primary hymnal—the Psalms—so
that singing becomes more than just about learning notes but about giving praise to
God by our lives.

monasticism into new expressions of community
and worship”
New communities are popping up all over the nation as people are
seeking ways to integrate Church tradition into a new Church expression. The New
Monasticism Movement seeks to create an alternative way of living and being
community amidst the loudness of a broken world. Learn how parishes can provide
sacred space and relationship to modern day contemplatives.
 Ms. Sideco is a native of San Francisco, born and raised in an immigrant Filipino family.
She has studied and trained with the Jesuits and their lay colleagues at Santa Clara

Ms. Sideco founded Contemplatives in Action, an urban retreat experience. She blogs for
the National Catholic Reporter Consultant for In Good Company. She is a spiritual
director, retreat leader, liturgist, and chaplain.

12. “Reconfiguring Parish: Reshaping Our Vision of Church
from a Building on a Corner to a People on a Mission”
American Catholics are attached to their churches. One of the most
troubling 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. How can our Catholic sacramental imagination and
practices of pastoral care and reconciliation help us negotiate the difficult terrain of
parish closures and mergers to lead communities into a new image of the Body of
Christ?
 Michael Weldon, OFM, DMin, of Francis and Clare’s Friary, Franklin, Wisconsin, is also an
instructor at Sacred Heart School of Theology, Hales Corners, Wisconsin. He is the author

13. “Ecology and Liturgy: What the Earth Can Teach Us
about Diversity”
Earth is a dynamic community of life that thrives on mutuality, connection, relationship.
Its species make up an interconnected web that binds beings to each other in mutual
interdependence. Biodiversity is essential to earth’s thriving and to the well-being of our
human community. This workshop puts our conversation about interculturality into
dialogue with understandings of the earth’s ecosystems and how they flourish. It
explores what the earth can teach us about cultivating deeper communion across
difference and about nourishing mutually enhancing relationships within our local
communities.

Prayer published by Liturgical Press. Her book, A Precious Fountain: Music in the
Worship of an African American Community, won first place in the Catholic Press
Association book awards.

14. “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 to
consider 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.
 Bill Ditewig served in the United States Navy for 22 years. In 1990, while still on active
duty, he was ordained a Catholic deacon for the Archdiocese of Washington, DC. From

15. “Praise and Worship and Mass: Can They Work
Together?”
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. Jon serves as a music
minister at several parishes in the Diocese of San Jose and assists in music ministry
throughout the Bay Area.

16. “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. Explore real-life situations like these, discuss some best practices in the
formation of U.S. clergy from other countries, and learn skills for liturgical coordinators,
parish staffs, and clergy to overcome language barriers and cultural pre-conceptions to
build stronger working relationships.
 Sharon McMillan, a Sister of Notre Dame de Namur, serves as liturgy director at San Carlos Cathedral
in Monterey, California. She offers insights from previous formation experience at St. Patrick’s
Seminary, Menlo Park, as well as current parish involvement.

17. “From Eggs to Art: The Ukrainian Experience of
Pysanky, Part 1”
You don't have to be Ukrainian (or artistic) to appreciate the beauty of this richly
symbolic art of decorated Ukrainian eggs. Amy will guide you through the history of this
art in the Ukraine culture and take you step by step through the making of your own
unique egg to take home. This two-part workshop will give you a sound understanding
of the art’s basic techniques and symbols and an experience of the deeper spirit of this
ancient tradition of prayer and contemplation. Registration for both sessions B-6 and C-
6 and a $5 materials fee (given directly to the presenter at the workshop) are required if
you want to create your own egg. Observers are welcomed at either session at no
additional fee.
 Amy has served in several parishes in the Diocese of San Jose in catechetical ministry and
currently serves as an administrative assistant at Saint Patrick Seminary in Menlo
Park. She has taught many classes on the art of Pysanky throughout the Bay Area.

18. “And the Word Became Projected: Use of Media
in Worship”
From projection systems to iPads, contemporary media is finding a
place in many worship spaces today. How do you measure and balance the value of
using real books with the value of increased participation by the assembly? What are
the best practices for integrating equipment into an existing space and for discerning
what should and shouldn’t be projected? How can multicultural communities use these
kinds of systems well for intercultural liturgy? The Diocese of San Jose Environment and
Art Committee will share their insights and struggles with these questions from their
experience of developing diocesan guidelines for media in worship.
 Fr. Christopher Bennett has served as a priest of the Diocese of San Jose since 1990. He is

Mark has just completed 12 years in Rome as Superior General of his religious
community, the Viatorians, and is a visiting scholar at Santa Clara University.

20. “Women Deacons: Past, Present, Future”
The questions of whether or not women have served as deacons in
the past and whether they should do so again are quite distinct from
questions related to women and the priesthood. Recent scholarship (Macy, Ditewig,
Zagano) has explored this distinctiveness, and that research forms the basis of this
workshop.
 Bill Ditewig served in the United States Navy for 22 years. In 1990, while still on active
duty, he was ordained a Catholic deacon for the Archdiocese of Washington, DC. From
2002-2007 he was the Executive Director of the Secretariat for the Diaconate at the

Deacons: Past, Present, Future.

21. “Cross-Cultural Competence for Liturgical Musicians”
The revised FDLC document “Liturgy in a Culturally Diverse
Community: A Guide Toward Understanding” contains section
entitled “Building Relationships Between Music Ministers” and
“The Ever-Shifting Lens of Intercultural Music-making.” Those concepts will be explored
in depth, along with practical examples and best practices for musicians desiring to
grow in cross-cultural competence. Repertoire suggestions for language combinations of
Vietnamese, Filipino, Spanish, and English will also be reviewed.
 Nurtured in Franciscan spirituality, Rufino Zaragoza, explores the richness of
multicultural communities, researches Asian liturgical inculturation, and lectures on the
joys and complexities of intercultural worship. He has promoted the development of
multilingual song collections in English, Spanish, and Vietnamese and prepares worship
resources drawing from each of these cultural traditions. Rufino serves as a liturgical
music consultant, based in the Diocese of Orange, California. Rufino has been published in

Music,” and most recently, he contributed to the revised document on multicultural
liturgies, published by FDLC.

22. “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. But for many of them, the parish community is still one that they find hard to break
into. What gifts and prophetic challenges do young adults give to the Church that call us
to look again at how we prepare liturgy that connects to their experience? Explore some
creative approaches to helping young adults meet their spiritual needs in the Church
today.
 Ms. Sideco is a native of San Francisco, born and raised in an immigrant Filipino family.
