Religious Education Institute; In Hope We Are Saved

"In Hope We Are Saved!" is the theme of the 2008 Religious Education Institute. For several years, the Catholic Education Office has focused on the Catholic Identity of our schools and parish programs and ways to develop and deepen our personal relationship with the person of Jesus Christ. This year's theme, taken from the second encyclical of Pope Benedict XVI, will further strengthen and develop that effort as we continue to promote the New Evangelization throughout the Archdiocese in our Catholic schools and parish programs.

Keynote Speaker: Colleen Carroll Campbell

Contemplative Outreach Seminar

As a Youth Minister, you've probably had a student share with you more than once his or her worries about the future, concerns about what others think, and self-condemning feelings.  With all of these thoughts running through your teen's heads, it can make expressing to them how much God loves them incredibly difficult.

Contemplative Outreach Ltd. and the Archdiocese of St. Louis will be hosting a seminar for those who work with youth on Thursday, January 10th, 7-9 pm and Saturday, January 12th, 9:30-11:30 am at the Cardinal Rigali Center. This seminar will provide an opportunity to learn more about Centering Prayer, our Christian contemplative tradition and ways that you can bring it to young people.  This seminar is offered free of charge.  If you would like to attend this seminar, please R.S.V.P. to coyouthandyoungadult@yahoo.com with the date of the seminar you would like to attend.
