It is within the family that lives its faith that
our young people can discover that vocation for
which God has created them. We will look at those
faith practices that help a young person hear,
discern and respond to the Lord’s Call in his or her
life.

Family of Faith:
Seedbed of Vocations
B.02
The New Saint Junipero
Serra and the California
Missions
Come learn about the newest saint in our Church,
the “Apostle of California”, who brought the Christian
faith and the very first Bible into our state. Learn
about his life as a Franciscan Missionary and
founder of the first nine Churches in California. Learn
about the history and legacy of the 21 original
California Missions and their role in the spiritual life
of our Church today, with special respect and honor
to the Native American of California to whom he
dedicated his live in loving service.
REVEREND GREGORY BEAUMONT
AND MR. DAVID BEAUMONT
Mr. David Beaumont has been
leading tours and serving as
the director of the tour guide
association at Old Mission San
Fernando for over 10 years,
teaching about the
establishment and history of
the California Missions and
their important role today. Mr.
Beaumont is one-eighth
Mohawk and presents the
history of St. Junipero Serra
and the Missions with special
respect for indigenous
heritage. He is the father of
two priests: Father David
Beaumont, like St. Junipero
Serra, is a Franciscan
Missionary dedicating his life
as missionary to the Native
American peoples. Father
Gregory Beaumont currently
serves as Pastor of Holy Family Church in Kingsburg. He
has organized spiritual tours to the California Missions
and retreats and presentations focusing on St. Serra
and St. Kateri Tekakwitha, and is involved in different
aspects of Catholic Native American ministry.
B.03
Wisdom at Play in Creation
B.05
The Family is Ground Zero
for Mission
This workshop will explore the Wisdom
Christology of Thomas Merton (19151968), whose hundredth anniversary of birth is
celebrated this year. Special attention will be given
to the beautiful prose poem Hagia Sophia which
draws on the Wisdom tradition of the Old Testament
books of Proverbs, Sirach, and Wisdom as well as
the New Testament writings of John and Paul. The
influence of Russian Orthodox theologians on
Merton's understanding of Christ will be highlighted.
Participants will be refreshed at the well of Merton's
vision of Christ as Incarnate Wisdom.
Pope Francis describes the family as “the
privileged place for transmitting the faith” and
therefore is ground zero for mission. It is where the
seeds of God’s love are first planted and nurtured.
However Jesus challenges us to take that love, cross
boundaries and share it in ever-widening communities
of missionary disciples. Using the example of the Holy
Family, participants will reflect upon how to make the
family the hotbed for mission, including practical
suggestions on sharing the joy of the Gospel at home,
work, school, parish, neighborhood and beyond.
REVEREND STEPHEN COFFEY, OSB
DEACON GUSTAVO ESCRUCERIA

Partnering With Parents
Church documents tell us that parents are
the primary educators of their children in
passing on faith, values and traditions. They can't do
this alone. As parish leaders, we must discover ways
to welcome, encourage and partner with our
families. Come spend an interactive session sharing
experiences, resources, challenges and best
practices. Plan to come away with two or three
practical ways to inspire and encourage your parents
in their all important vocation.

Diocese. It will not only cover the guidelines and the
procedures required, but the benefits and reasons
for the importance of ongoing formation.
“It must be restated that nobody in the Church of
Jesus Christ should feel excused from receiving
catechesis. This is true even of young seminarians
and young religious, and of all those called to the
task of being pastors and catechists. They will fulfill
this task all the better if they are humble pupils of
the Church, the great giver as well as the great
receiver of catechesis” (Catechechi Tradendae—On
Catechesis in Our Time, No. 45).

Evangelization and Catechesis in a
Bilingual and Multi-Cultural Context:
Challenges and Opportunities
Pope Francis’ vision of evangelization gives us a deeper insight into
pastoral life and in particular the catechetical process. His papal
exhortation, Evangelii Gaudium, presents the Church with a
renewed emphasis on content shaped by our social contexts and a
pedagogy of “encuentro.” This talk will look at how we can turn
around some of the challenges of faith formation ministry in multicultural and bilingual parishes into opportunities for greater parish
unity and more profound faith formation experiences for our
students and catechists

The Word of God:
Unpacking it Using the
Lectio Divina Approach
Pope Benedict XVI wrote in his Book titled The Word
of the Lord: We find ourselves before the mystery of
God, who has made himself known through the gift
of his word. This word, which abides forever, entered
into time. God spoke his eternal Word humanly: his
Word ‘became flesh’. This is the good news. In that
book, the Holy Father recommends using the “lectio
divina” method of reading Scriptures. In this
presentation we will learn and practice the “lectio
divina” method as a way to get a deeper
understanding of the Word of God.

Becoming Cultural Mystics:
A Theology of Popular
Culture
Sister Nancy introduces participants to a theological
understanding of the more profound human
experiences expressed in popular film, music and
social media. Her theological framework stems from
a Christian anthropology that seeks to address the
existential questions of humanity, draw them out of
the popular cultural experience and provide a
theological intellectual examination through a
sacramental imagination. This leads to a deeper
awareness of the presence of God at work in the
world and in common human experience.

Coaching Parents to Form
Their Own Children in Faith
Parishes cannot substitute for parents. For
faith formation to last a lifetime, parents must be
involved in the process. Parents want to do this, but
often feel intimidated and don’t know where to start.
This challenge is the very heart of evangelization.
This workshop will present the role of parents, as
taught by the Church; practical ways parishes can
engage, coach and empower parents; and suggested
resources to support parish leaders in this ministry.

This workshop will introduce participants to the
Papal Proclamation “Misericordiae Vultus” in which
Pope Francis shares his motives and goals for the

will guide us during this very special Year of Grace.
Pope Francis couldn’t be clearer: “Merciful like the
Father, therefore, is the ‘motto’ of this Holy Year” (MV
#14). Bring a copy of the document and you’ll see how
we as individuals, parishes, dioceses, and the Church
Universal can become “an oasis of mercy” in a world
of “indifference” (MV #12 and #15).

But I Don’t Speak Spanish:
Six Strategies for Ministry
with Hispanic Youth
In the Central Valley, it is estimated that 75% of
Catholics are of Hispanic descent. This means that
most youth leaders who minister in the Diocese of
Fresno serve Hispanic youth, even those who minister
in English. As we consider ministerial approaches, it is
important to realize that there is not one Hispanic
reality but a diversity of realities for Hispanics. This
diversity includes the first generations from Latin and
Caribbean countries, second generation United States
-born Hispanics who are mostly bilingual and bicultural,
and third, fourth (and so on) U.S.-born generations of
Hispanics who are often more comfortable
communicating in English (or only speak English). To
serve within this diverse context, this workshop
proposes six strategies for youth ministry designed to
join the uniqueness of each generation with the
Christian narrative and the life of the faith community.

Many families drift away from church during the

D.61
Nurturing the Hmong
Community
This workshop explores ideas for how the
Hmong Catholic community can grow.
CHENG HER
Before he died Jesus gave us new commandment.
“Love one another as I love you.” How can we love one
another as Jesus loves us? Jesus washed his disciple’s
feet and said, “I washed your feet, you ought to wash
one another’s feet.” (John 13, 14) This is a model of
action to love one another in our daily life as Jesus did.
Also, in contrast Paul talks to us of love in 1 Corinthians
13. “Love is patient, love is kind… love never fails…
faith, hope, love remains, these three; but the greatest
of these is love.” Love is open to others and to God.
When we love others we are open to newness of life
each day, we encounter others and God. We are not
satisfied with our own interpretation of life.
Cheng Her is a catechist for the Hmong
Catholic Community and is a convert from
Shamanism to Catholicism since 1988. In
2006 he finished the New Wine diocesan
program and was the coordinator for the
Hmong program on TV Channel 49 until
2014. Cheng is currently in his third year of
Diaconate formation program.

Directoro de sus Miembros
La tecnología moderna del internet, videos y radio
deben ayudar a este fin de oración y amor en la
familia. Asista a este taller para saber cómo
protegerse contra ataques cibernéticos contra la
familia, la moral y la persona. Aprende también
cómo discernir entre “amistades no gratas” que
perjudican la confianza en familia y amistades que sí
ayudan a una buena relación familiar.

Familia de Fe:
Plantío de Vocaciones
Es en el seno de la familia que vive su fe
plenamente donde nuestros jóvenes pueden
descubrir la vocación para la que Dios los ha creado.
Nos centraremos en las prácticas de fe que ayudan
a una persona joven a escuchar, discernir y
responder al llamada del Señor en su vida.

A.23
La Familia como Punto de
Partida para la Misión
El Papa Francisco el 26 de julio del 2013
en Rio de Janeiro, dijo: “Que precioso es el valor de
la familia, como lugar privilegiado para transmitir la
fe”, lo que quiere decir que la familia es el punto de
partida para la misión; es donde por primera vez se
plantan y nutren las semillas del Amor de Dios. Sin
embargo, Jesús nos desafía a tomar ese amor y
cruzar fronteras, a compartirlo con otras
comunidades de discípulos misioneros. Usando el
ejemplo de la Sagrada Familia, los participantes
reflexionarán sobre cómo hacer que la familia se
convierta en cultivo para la misión, incluyendo
sugerencias prácticas para compartir la Alegría del
Evangelio en el hogar, el trabajo, la escuela, la
parroquia, con los vecinos y en cualquier lugar
donde nos encontremos. Compartir el Amor de Dios
es nuestra Misión en la tierra.

Evangelización y
Catequesis en un Contexto
Multi-cultural y Bilingüe:
Desafíos y Oportunidades
"La visión de Evangelización del Papa Francisco nos
da un conocimiento profundo dentro de la vida
pastoral y en particular del proceso catequético. Su
exhortación papal, Evangelii Gaudium, presenta a la
Iglesia con un énfasis renovado en contenido
formado por nuestro contexto social y una pedagogía
de “encuentro.” En esta presentación se verá como
podemos cambiar algunos desafíos, en el ministerio
de formación en parroquias multi-culturales y
bilingües, a oportunidades para una mayor unidad
parroquial y experiencias de formación de fe más
profundas para nuestros estudiantes y catequistas."

Certificación Catequética:
¿Por Qué? ¿Y Cómo?”
Este taller está diseñado para ayudar
respondiendo a preguntas relacionadas al
proceso de certificación ahora encomendado por la
Diócesis. No sólo cubrirá los lineamientos y los
procedimientos requeridos, sino los beneficios y las
razones de la importancia de la formación continua.
Hay que repetirlo: en la Iglesia de Jesucristo nadie
debería sentirse dispensado de recibir la catequesis;
pensamos incluso en los jóvenes seminaristas y
religiosos, y en todos los que están destinados a la
tarea de pastores y catequistas, los cuales

La Espiritualidad de la Pobreza
y la Teología de la Liberación
La santa Elizabeth Ann Seton solía decir: “Vive simplemente, para que otros simplemente vivan.”
Todos estamos llamados a la pobreza, pero ¿qué pasa cuando esa pobreza oprime, reprime y esclaviza?
¿Es acaso esa, la voluntad de Dios? ¿Qué significado tienen las palabras de Jesús: “he venido a anunciar la
libertad”? Apoyándonos en pensamientos del salvadoreño Beato Mons. Oscar A. Romero, exploremos la
importancia y relevancia de la Teología de la Liberación para nuestros días y para nuestras comunidades.

La Familia Como
“Iglesia Domestica”
es la Base Fundamental
Para el Discipulado
“- a través del Bautismo somos incorporados en la
vida entera de la Familia de Dios- (Familiaris
Consortio, 15)”
El objetivo de este tema es analizar y reflexionar la
importancia de que: “En el seno de una familia, la
persona descubre los motivos y el camino para
pertenecer a la familia de Dios. DA 118. Y es en la
pequeña comunidad donde queda más claro este
rostro de la Iglesia como familia de Dios. La vivencia
de la Iglesia como comunión sólo se puede vivir a
nivel de relación interpersonal de fe, con hermanos
concretos.
Ante la tentación, muy presente en la cultura actual,
de ser cristianos sin Iglesia y las nuevas búsquedas
espirituales individualistas, afirmamos que la fe en
Jesucristo nos llegó a través de la comunidad
eclesial y ella nos da una familia, la familia universal
de Dios en la Iglesia Católica. DA 256.

Ya No Son Dos Sino Uno.
¿Cierto o No Cierto?
No fuimos creados para vivir solos. Dios en
su infinita sabiduría en el momento supremo de la
creación humana, presenta al hombre a su mujer para
que juntos vivan plenamente su misión en el núcleo
social más importante de la sociedad y de la Iglesia
misma, la familia. Es en el seno familiar donde irrumpe
la vida y florece en toda su plenitud para crecer plena
terrenal y divinamente. En la familia se forman los
triunfadores, las personas de bien y en la familia se
deforman. En el seno familiar se forma el santo
pontífice o el reo sentenciado a muerte.

¿Por Qué el Ministerio
Hispano se Debe Enfocar
en Los Jóvenes y Las
Familias?
C.26
Música y Liturgia:
Compañeras en el Andar
Si una sociedad o comunidad de fe quiere mantenerse
viva y relevante, necesita invertir en los más jóvenes.
Conscientes de que cerca del 60% de los jóvenes
católicos en los Estados Unidos en el país son hispanos,
esto significa que si la Iglesia en este país quiere
mantenerse viva y relevante ha de invertir urgentemente
en la juventud hispana. Esto debe comenzar con las
familias y las parroquias hispanas. Dialoguemos con
claridad las realidades de los jóvenes hispanos en los
Estados Unidos y exploremos maneras prácticas de
acompañarles hacia un encuentro con Cristo en la Iglesia.
“La música sacra será tanto más santa
cuanto más íntimamente esté unida a la acción
litúrgica” (SC, n.112). La música, como forma
artística, y la liturgia como fuente de oración y acción
en la iglesia, se unen para elevar los corazones del
pueblo hacia el Corazón de Dios. En este taller
podemos encontrar que la música y la liturgia
pueden trabajar en armonía e igualdad, ya que se
complementan entre sí. Músicos y sacerdotes, con
este taller, contemplarán que son aliados,
compañeros y miembros de un mismo equipo, en
vez de verse como miembros de bandos opuestos o
ajenos el uno al otro.

El Rosario de los Santos Esposos y el Misterio
del Amor
La encarnación y la redención comienzan con una pareja comprometida, María
y José, escogidos por Dios. Como el pecado entró en el mundo a través de una pareja,
Adán y Eva, el plan de Dios para la redención del mundo incluye redimir matrimonios y
familias. Los esposos santos son los primeros y más colaboradores en esta misión. El
Santo Rosario de los Esposos es una devoción que expande los misterios gozosos del
rosario de María a San José. La reflexión sobre los misterios de la encarnación y la vida
oculta de Jesús a través de los ojos de las dos personas más cercanas a él, nos ayuda a
apreciar mejor la importancia de la fe, familia, matrimonio y nuestra misión de amar.

La Familia de Dios Ante el Desarrollo Humano Integral
El objetivo de este tema es reflexionar sobre “El desarrollo humano integral” – que en la Caritas in
Veritatae se explica mediante la relación entre la caridad y la verdad, es un concepto clave de la
doctrina social de la Iglesia, cuya vía maestra es la caridad. El “humanismo integral”, perspectiva que Pablo VI
tomó de la Populorum Progressio de Maritain, ha sido
profundizada posteriormente en los pontificados de Santo
Juan Pablo II, en clave personalista y de Benedicto XVI en
clave antropológica y eclesiológica. La misión de la Iglesia
se sitúa al servicio de la verdad que libera; al servicio de
Dios y al servicio del mundo en términos de amor y verdad
y como consecuencia al servicio del desarrollo humano
integral, concretamente promoviendo la fraternidad
universal.
La Iglesia es la Familia de Dios en cuanto antítesis del
individualismo y subjetivismo, ante los individuos que
viven una religiosidad privada, según las creencias y las
preferencias de cada cual. La Iglesia es el “nosotros”
de la Fe - “el que nunca está solo”; la familia
constituida y fundada sobre la Eucaristía; y la familia de
los cristianos que vive en intima comunión con Dios
Padre, por su Hijo, en el Espíritu Santo, promoviendo en
el mundo la cultura de la vida y la civilización del amor,
con una atención preferencial por los más necesitados.

JUSTIN FATICA

Speaker, on page 15.
B.81 Living as a Fulfilled Single
Person
The period before the “big commitment” of marriage
or consecrated life can be a scary and lonely time for
may young adults, but this time can also prove to be
very fruitful. It should be a time of preparation,
maturing and of deep encounter with God and
neighbor. The great fallacy is that another can fulfill
you.
MARY BIELSKI
Mary Bielski was born in Indianapolis into
an active Catholic family. Her younger
years were filled with activity and outward
success, but inside she struggled with her
relationship with God and life. After a
strong conversion her freshman year of
college, her life changed and she felt a
“total call” sweep into her life and heart;
she declared her second major at Marquette University in
Theology. Mary currently lives in South Bend, Indiana. In 2009,
Mary felt God’s call and took a leap of faith, leaving her job and
immersing herself full-time in ALL4HIM Ministries.
Her prayer is that you will encounter the tender love of the Lord
and be set free to live All for Him.
C.81 And It was Good
Justin will explore Scripture on the story of Creation;
the beauty and mystery of male and female. What is
complementarily between men and women as well as
the mystery behind our sexuality. God saw what He

D.81 Balance
Many times we become busybodies in the Vineyard
of the Lord and burn out. We do the work of God, but
somehow it feels God is not working in us. This
conference will illustrate the danger of speaking a lot
about God and little to Him; as well as give practical
ways on how to live a Christ-centered life rooted in a
life of prayer. “Prayer is work and work is prayer”.
I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever
remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit,
because without me you can do nothing. John 15:5

A.82 Jóvenes, Creando una
Comunidad de Amor
C.82 ¿Por qué el Ministerio
Hispano se Debe Enfocar
en los Jóvenes y la Familia?
“Ustedes son el campo de la fe. Ustedes son los
atletas de Cristo. Ustedes son los constructores de
una Iglesia más Hermosa y de un mundo mejor.”
En este taller hablaremos de tres columnas
importantes para un creyente: pasión por Cristo,
pasión por la evangelización, y pasión por la
comunidad. Todo esto nos ayudará a ser
instrumentos transformadores y así, crear una
comunidad de amor.
Si una sociedad o comunidad de fe quiere
mantenerse viva y relevante, necesita invertir en los
más jóvenes. Conscientes de que cerca del 60% de
los jóvenes católicos en los Estados Unidos en el
país son hispanos, esto significa que si la Iglesia en
este país quiere mantenerse viva y relevante ha de
inventir urgentemente en la juventud hispana. Esto
debe comenzar con las familias y las parroquias
hispanas. Dialoguemos con claridad las realidades
de los jóvenes hispanos en los Estados Unidos y
exploremos maneras prácticas de acompañarles
hacia un encuentro con Cristo en la Iglesia.

Welcome:
Diocese of
Fresno
Young
People!
Get ready, to be swept away by the enthusiasm, energy, spirituality and relevant
content at Youth Day and our Young Adult Congress Track 2015! Aside from a great
band, two national speakers, awesome local speakers, our Bishop and Jesus in the
Eucharist, there is an opportunity for connecting with other young people from our
Diocese at large!
During our 2015 Youth Day, we will take a closer look at how all Catholic teaching
about sexuality, marriage and the family flows from Jesus’ teaching on how to be
happy. It’ll be as if we’re taking a condensed “snapchat”, starting with creation and
smoothly make our way to the present time! There is a direct intentionality about the
way we are designed and by loving God’s plan for us, we will be able to live and fulfill
our mission of love here on earth!
Come and be part of the big things happening in our Diocese! It might even change
your life! #dofyd2015 #fresnoyoungcatholics
With my prayers and love,
Andrea Vasquez

ARMEE YOUNG MINISTRIES
ARMEE Ministries originated in December 2008 by a
group of NET Ministries Alumni in Turlock, California.
What started out as a strong desire to come together
for corporate prayer through Praise and Worship,
turned into a full blown worship ministry. Every
Monday evening, people of all ages from all over the
Central Valley gather for fellowship, spiritual
nourishment, worship and Adoration. ARMEE has
since then ventured into other
projects such as leading music at faith
events and retreats, recording an
album, and even opening for Catholic
recording artist Matt Maher. ARMEE’s
mission is simple: Deepening people’s
love for Christ through fellowship,
spiritual nourishment, and worship, in
Adoration and Reconciliation, while
enriching their love of the Mass and
the Eucharist, and inspiring them to
greater Evangelization.
