Dear and Wonderful People!
What a wonderful opportunity we have coming to our region on October 13, 2012!
Pope Benedict has called for a „YEAR OF FAITH‟ to officially open just two days before our Santa Barbara Regional Congress. This Year of
Faith honors the 50th anniversary of the opening of the Second Vatican Council on October 11, 1962 as well as the 20th anniversary of the
Catechism of the Catholic Church.
The United States Bishops are suggesting that this year be…An opportunity for Catholics to experience a conversion – to turn back to Jesus and
enter into a deeper relationship with him. The “door of faith” is opened at one‟s baptism, but during this year Catholics are called to open it again,
walk through it and rediscover and renew their relationship with Christ and his Church‟.
Within the pages of this Registration Booklet you will find a variety of amazing speakers and workshops to help you begin this year-long
celebration. Some of our workshops will help you better understand what the Year of Faith is all about and some of the workshops will help
begin the process of renewing your baptismal call by living out the everyday moments of your lives…
Faith…Sought, Renewed, Lived and Shared!
I‟ll look forward to seeing you on October 13, at Bishop Diego High School in Santa Barbara. Until then, Blessings
ALL over you and the good work you do!
Sue Spies!
Santa Barbara Regional Coordinator
¡Querido y maravilloso Pueblo de Dios!
Que fabulosa oportunidad viene a nuestra región el 13 de Octubre, 2012. El Papa Benedicto ha pedido se celebre el “Año de la
Fe” y comenzará justamente dos días antes del Congreso Regional de Santa Barbara Este Año de la Fe será en honor del 50°
aniversario de la apertura del Concilio Vaticano el 11 de Octubre, l962 así como el 20° aniversario del Catecismo de la Iglesia
Católica.
Los Obispos de Estados Unidos sugieren que este año sea „Una oportunidad para que haya en los Católicos una conversión – para
que regresen a Jesús y pasen a tener una más profunda relación con El. La “puerta de la fe” se abre cuando uno se bautiza, pero
durante este año se llama a los Católicos para que abran de nuevo esa puerta, pasen por ella y redescubran y renueven su relación
con Cristo y con su Iglesia‟.
Dentro de este Folleto de Inscripción, encontrarán una gran variedad de excelentes conferencistas y talleres para ayudarles a
empezar la celebración que durara el año entero. Algunos de los talleres les ayudarán a entender mejor de lo que se trata el
Año de la Fe y algunos de los talleres les ayudaran a empezar el proceso de renovación de su llamada bautismal viviendo cada
momento de su vida con …
¡Fe
… Encontrada, Renovada, Vivida y Compartida!
Espero verlos el 13 de Octubre e la escuela Bishop Diego en Santa Barbara. Mientras tanto, les deseo Bendiciones sobre
ustedes y sobre la buena labor que llevan a cabo.

traditions. In responding to their baptismal commitment, an

and in their work spaces, at the same time celebrating the
sacredness of different faith traditions.

105–Gather Together: Engaging Families
Bianca Langlois
Our Catholic Faith is lived to the fullest by catechizing and
evangelizing the community we encounter. Sometimes families are
passively living their faith, viewing formation as simply a checklist
or hoops to jump through. As Servant Leaders we have the ability
to invite families back to the church actively participating and
embracing their faith. Come to this session to network with one
another, share experiences, concerns and dreams for the families
you work with. We will gather together as church with practical
and applicable ideas.

Ministry Certificate
reasons for this sometimes seem counter intuitive. Is the
increasing secularity of our culture drawing us away from those
principles upon which we have built the Church? What does it
mean to be religious? What does stewardship mean to us today?
What myths affect our approaches to the stewardship of time,

are made on us for time, care and attention? How can we listen to
people in a healing way? How can we respond to conflict as
peacemakers without being doormats? How can we deal with anger,
disappointment, bitterness and complaints at home, at work and at
church? Participants in this workshop will be introduced to and
practice a process developed by Marshall Rosenberg called

Scott Boczek
In the midst of a rapidly changing culture and world, is the Church

Giorgia Diomedes
Developing the skill to view the world and situations through the
minds of people with Autism can reduce behavioral incidents as
well as provide a safe and predictable place for learning.
Christians, non-Christians, people of other faiths – all are sending
you and me a clear message: Don‟t tell me, show me!” This
workshop will involve you and challenge you in a discussion that is
long over-due in our church: why has our faith become life
enhancing, rather than life changing? And so the discussion
begins… how, in some very practical ways, can we be transformed
into the disciples Christ calls us to be?
Giorgia Diomedes, is currently working with students in 2nd and
3rd grades with Autism Spectrum Disorders. She worked for
nearly four years as the Inclusion Facilitator for ABC Unified

Constitución de la Liturgia- “Sacrosanctum Concilium. Hay un dicho
en la Iglesia: “Lex orandi, Lex credendi”- es decir: Como la Iglesia
ora, asi la Iglesia cree. Demos consideración a el culto de la Iglesia
y como afecta el entender y la práctica de la Fe. ¿Qué efecto tiene
la cualidad de la celebración del culto, en su excelencia o pobreza,
en nuestro participar de los sagrados misterios- lo que somos como
Iglesia y la comunión que tenemos en Cristo? Cincuenta años
después del Concilio miramos hacia atrás- a lo ocurrido, y más
importante- demos consideración a lo que todavía hace falta hacer
para profundizarnos en la Fe y mejor alimentarla.

357- El Año De La Fe Convocado Por El Santo Padre
Fr. Jesus Rangel
¿Qué sentido da el Papa a este Año de la fe? ¿Qué objetivos
pretende con él?.. El Año de la Fe puede ayudar a la cateque sis,
también a la de adultos, a conseguir un equilibrio, una armonía
entre pedagogía y teología, entre el contenido de la fe y las formas
de comunicarlo a los demás.
En nuestro tiempo, en el que los contenidos objetivos de la fe
cristiana son muchas veces devaluados, sometidos a crítica
destructiva, preteridos, ha llegado el momento de apuntar el zoom
sobre la fe en toda su riqueza de doctrina, fruto de veinte siglos
de reflexión y de vida.
¡Un año entero para ello hará mucho bien a toda la comunidad de la
iglesia!
