Summer Workshop Series

Offered by The Institute for the Diaconate at the Josephinum

Continuing formation, as a process, has received renewed emphasis in recent years. The Josephinum is committed to providing opportunities for experienced deacons to consider, to learn, and to reflect on their roles in the life of the Church.
To this end, two three-day workshops designed especially for permanent deacons will be offered in summer 2008. Join us for these opportunities to enhance, advance, and re-animate your pre-ordination formation, already received and lived out, in all of its dimensions.

 

Workshop I: "A Word That Will Rouse Them"

Wednesday, July 23 through Saturday, July 26, 2008

This Homiletics workshop and practicum is designed for experienced homilists. In a supportive environment, we will focus on scriptural exegesis and presentational skills, including composition and delivery to perfect the deacon's ability to proclaim God's Word.

Featuring:
Dr. Elizabeth Nagel, S.S.D. (Mundelein Seminary, Chicago): Preaching the Old Testament Readings and Responsorial Psalms.

Faculty of the Josephinum:

Rev. Msgr. Paul Langsfeld, S.T.D. The Three Keys to Effective Homiletics - Prepare, Prepare, Prepare!
Rev. Shawn McKnight, S.T.D. Preaching to the Post-Modern Catholic Congregation
Rev. Christopher Schreck, S.T.D. Preaching the Year of Mark

Workshop II: Continuing Formation: Process or Event?

Sunday, July 27 through Wednesday, July 30, 2008

Diaconate Formation is a process, not an event. It does not end on the day of ordination. Continue your spiritual journey as we explore the Four Dimensions of Formation and the role of the experienced deacon in parish service.

Featuring:

Deacon Owen Cummings, H.Dip.Ed., M.Th., D.D. (Regents' Professor of Theology, Mount Angel Seminary, St. Benedict, OR, and noted author) Continuing Formation: The Spiritual Dimension

Faculty of the Josephinum

Rev. Msgr. Nevin Klinger, J.C.L. Continuing Formation: The Human Dimension
Rev. John Allen, S.T.B. Continuing Formation: The Pastoral Dimension
Deacon Michael Ross, Ph.D. Continuing Formation: The Intellectual Dimension

 

Workshops will be held at the Jessing Center at the Pontifical College Josephinum.
Attendance is limited to 40 deacons per session. (Directions to the Josephinum)
