Jesus, the Source of Our Unity:
Formation for the Liturgical Community
Most Reverend Timothy M. Dolan was ordained to the priesthood on
June 19, 1976. He then served as associate pastor at Immacolata Parish in Richmond
Heights, Mo., until 1979 when he began studies for a doctorate in American Church History
at the Catholic University of America. Before completing the doctorate, he spent a year
researching the late Archbishop Edwin O'Hara, a founder of the Catholic Biblical Association.
Archbishop O'Hara's life and ministry was the subject of the Archbishop's doctoral
dissertation.
In 1987, Archbishop Dolan was appointed to a five-year term as secretary to the
Apostolic Nunciature in Washington, D.C. In 1994, he was appointed rector of the
Pontifical North American College in Rome where he served until June 2001. While in
Rome, he also served as a visiting professor of Church History at the Pontifical Gregorian University and as a
faculty member in the Department of Ecumenical Theology at the Pontifical University of St. Thomas
Aquinas. Archbishop Dolan was installed as Milwaukee's 10th archbishop on August 28, 2002, at the
Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist.
The local Liturgy Day is co-sponsored by
the Federation of Diocesan Liturgical Commissions and

Workshops
Block A:
Block B:
11:15 – 12:30 p.m. (A1, A2, A3, A,4)
1:45 – 3:00 p.m. (B1, B2, B3, B,4)
A-1 & B-1 Sacrament of Unity
The celebration of the Eucharist-the Sacrament of Unity-often is the focal point of division in our
parishes and among our people. We often spend so much time trying to change what others are
thinking and doing that we forget about our own need for conversion and a spirituality rooted in
love. This session will offer reflections and practical suggestions for ministers who wish to renew
their spirits and find once again the joy of their salvation.
Dr. Patrick Gorman, is the director of the Office of Worship for the Diocese of Madison and
director of the Madison Diocesan Choir. As director of the Madison Worship Office, Dr. Gorman
has been involved in the liturgical formation and musical training of parish ministers throughout
the dicoese. He is a former member of the FDLC Board of Directors.
A-2 & B-2 The Spirituality of the Liturgical Minister
Explore each of the liturgical ministries and help people understand how our lives are
shaped by our ministry and how our ministry shapes our lives.
Ms. Vicki Klima was Director of the Worship Center for the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and
Minneapolis for close to 20 years. She has a Master's Degree in Liturgy from the University of St.
Thomas in St. Paul. She is currently Director of Leadership Development at Pax Christi Catholic
Community in Eden Prairie, MN and is a member of the FDLC Board of Directors.
A-3 & B-3 Current Issues in the Celebration of the Holy Eucharist
This workshop will raise and discuss several issues still remaining on the liturgical agenda in the
United States, issues such as differing understandings of the Eucharist, the centrality of
participation, a search for style, reverence, communion in a culture of individualism,
Eucharist and life.
Rev. Stephen E. Malkiewicz, O.F.M., (M.A,.University of Notre Dame) is Director of Worship at
Saint Francis de Sales Seminary (Archdiocese of Milwaukee) and teaches part-time at Sacred
Heart School of Theology, Hales Corners, WI.. He is presently chairman of the American
Franciscan Liturgical Commission as well as a member of the Archdiocesan Liturgical Commission.
A-4 & B-4 The Spirituality of Crossing Borders Fostering Unity in Diversity
We know that our church is multi-cultural. How do we move beyond simply singing a song from
another tradition or having a reading in a foreign language, to embracing a truly Catholic vision of
the global Body of Christ in worship?
Ms. Barbara Tracey is Liturgy and Music Coordinator for the multi-cultural parishes of
St. Rose and St. Michael in Milwaukee, WI, where multi-lingual liturgies happen every
weekend. She works with choirs of children, young people and adults that sing in their
native Lao, Spanish, English and Hmong.
Brother Rufino Zaragoza, OFM, from Oakland, CA, explores the richness of
multicultural communities, researches Asian liturgical inculturation, and lectures on the
joys and complexities of intercultural worship. Br. Zaragosa’s participation in this
meeting is sponsored by OCP.

About the Sponsors
THE FEDERATION OF DIOCESAN LITURGICAL COMMISSIONS (FDLC) is a national
organization devoted to the promotion of liturgical renewal in the dioceses and parishes of the
Untied States. FDLC membership is principally composed of members of diocesan liturgical
commissions or worship office in the dioceses of the United States and its territories—those
appointed in a diocese by their bishop to be responsible for its liturgical life. Associate and
industry members also support the work of the Federation. The FDLC serves as an official
consultant to the Bishops’ Committee on Divine Worship and acts as a medium through which the
BCL can consult diocesan directors of worship throughout the United States. In furtherance of
its goal of promoting in parishes Vatican II’s call for liturgical renewal, the FDLC continues to
develop and produce popular liturgical resources for parishioners and parish liturgy
personnel. Part of the FDLC web site is devoted to an ongoing project of freely-available
liturgical catechesis for parishes, with accessible material being provided or suggested by the
member diocesan offices and commissions.

CLEVELAND HOTEL —CLEVELAND , OH
“Do Not Let Your Hearts be Troubled or Afraid!” [Jn 14:27b]
IN THE MIDST OF CHANGE . . .
The Church is in the midst of change—in liturgical practices, patterns
of ministry, parish clustering, generational shifts, ethnic and cultural
communities, and many more. Change may arouse fear but also can offer
opportunities for hope and growth.
In the midst of change we hear the words of Jesus, “Do not let your hearts be
troubled or afraid” (Jn 14:27b), which give us the confidence to let go of the
familiar and to embrace the challenges and opportunities that are set before us.

“One Body, One Spirit in Christ” [EP III]
IN THE MIDST OF CHANGE . . .
The Church is in the midst of change—in liturgical practices, patterns
of ministry, parish clustering, generational shifts, ethnic and cultural
communities, and many more. Change may arouse fear but also can offer
opportunities for hope and growth.
In the midst of change we seek the transforming power of the Holy Spirit to
become “one body, one Spirit in Christ.” We sing our prayer for the renewing
Spirit of Christ to open our eyes to the rich diversity among us and to strengthen
our hearts to serve others.

4 Dates and Locations
The weekend has something to offer cantors at all levels of experience: beginner, advanced,
and professional. Most cantors are proficient in some areas but need to develop in others. Some
participants are even discerning whether this ministry is right for them and come simply to
explore. Whatever your level of skill and experience, the institute offers you an opportunity to
assess areas for growth, begin to fill in gaps, and lay the groundwork for a firmer foundation
for your ministry.
The weekend includes interactive lectures, discussion, reflection, skill building (group voice
classes, interpretation, and coaching), and repertoire that best reflects the core identity of the cantor. At some points
in the weekend, you will have the opportunity to choose sessions according to your own needs. Meals include Friday
dinner to Sunday lunch. Note: The Cantor Express program in Hartford, Connecticut, begins on Thursday night and ends
on Saturday at 9:00 pm.
All we ask is that you come with an open mind and reasonable expectations! For instance, if you don’t already
read music, we can teach you the basics. If you’ve had vocal training and need help with your interpretive skills, we
can offer you some useful tools. If you have limited knowledge of Scripture, liturgy, and the psalms, we can help your
development in those areas. In short, we can’t offer you complete training in a single weekend, but we can share the
riches of our liturgical heritage, provide useful tools for your ministry, and lead you to additional resources.

Pastoral Liturgy Institute
July 28–August 1 • Baton Rouge, Louisiana
The five-day NPM Pastoral Liturgy Institute is designed to provide a basic
foundation of knowledge about Roman Catholic liturgy for pastoral musicians and
those with whom they work and minister (priests, deacons, pastoral associates,
ministers of religious education, liturgy committee members). The primary audience
is pastoral musicians who seek a broader liturgical education than is available
through single workshops, diocesan conferences, or NPM conventions but who do
not need—or have time for—a full semester course or degree. The goal is to help
pastoral musicians understand the liturgical principles and sacramental rites which
are the context for their music and develop the pastoral skills necessary for effective ministry. A special emphasis
will be placed on the vital role of music in celebration.
Page Registration opens Monday, July 28, at 9:00 am., and the program begins with prayer at 10:00 am. The program
ends with closing prayer on Friday at 11:00 am. Meals include Monday lunch through Friday breakfast.
Session schedule includes:
• Basic principles of liturgy, music, and church environment and art; • Liturgical documents; • Sunday Eucharist
and other sacramental rites of the Catholic Church; • and the variety of prayer forms available to Catholic
communities.
Sessions are held morning, afternoon, and evening every day (from approximately 8:30 am to 9:00 pm) with the
exception of Wednesday evening—a free evening.

The use society hopes to make of biomedical science must constantly be measured against robust
and firm ethical standards. … Foremost among these is the dignity of human life, for under no
circumstances may a human being be manipulated or treated as a mere instrument for
experimentation.
Pope Benedict XVI, Address to the Ambassador of the Republic of Korea to the Holy See, Oct. 11, 2007
A society unable to accept its suffering members and incapable of helping to share their suffering
and to bear it inwardly through "com-passion' is a cruel and inhuman society" (Spe salvi, 38). …
More and more lonely elderly people exist in big cities, even in situations of serious illness and
close to death. In such situations, the pressure of euthanasia is felt, especially when a utilitarian
vision of the person creeps in. In this regard, I take this opportunity to reaffirm once again the
firm and constant ethical condemnation of every form of direct euthanasia, in accordance with
the Church's centuries-old teaching.
Pope Benedict XVI, Address to the Congress Organized by the Pontifical Academy for Life, Feb. 25, 2008
When God wants an important thing done in this world or a wrong righted, He goes about it in a
very singular way. He doesn’t release thunderbolts or stir up earthquakes. God simply has a tiny
baby born, perhaps of a very humble home, perhaps of a very humble mother. And God puts the
idea or purpose into the mother’s heart. And she puts it in the baby’s mind, and then – God
waits. The great events of this world are not battles and elections and earthquakes, and
thunderbolts. The great events are babies, for each child comes with the message that God is not
yet discouraged with humanity, but is still expecting goodwill to become incarnate in each
human life.
Edmond McDonald
Compared with women with no history of abortion, women who had one abortion were 2.8 times
more likely to have a low birth weight (LBW) baby. Those with two abortions were 4.6 times
more likely to have a LBW baby, and those with three abortions were 9.5 times more likely to
have a LBW baby. The risk for preterm birth was 1.7 times, 2 times and 3 times, respectively for
women with one, two or three abortions.

El uso que la sociedad espera hacer de la ciencia biomédica debe medirse constantemente con
sólidos y firmes modelos éticos. […] El más importante de ellos es la dignidad de la vida
humana, por la cual de ninguna manera se puede manipular o tratar un ser humano como un
mero instrumento para la experimentación.
Papa Benedicto XVI, Discurso al Embajador de la República de Corea ante la Santa Sede, 11 de octubre de
2007.
“Una sociedad que no logra aceptar a los que sufren y no es capaz de contribuir mediante la
compasión a que el sufrimiento sea compartido y sobrellevado también interiormente, es una
sociedad cruel e inhumana” (Spe salvi, n. 38). […] En las grandes ciudades hay cada vez más
personas ancianas y solas, incluso en los momentos de enfermedad grave y de cercanía de la
muerte. En estas situaciones es fuerte la tentación de recurrir a la eutanasia, sobre todo cuando se
insinúa una visión utilitarista en relación con la persona. A este respecto, aprovecho la ocasión
para reafirmar, una vez más, la firme y constante condena ética de toda forma de eutanasia
directa, según la enseñanza plurisecular de la Iglesia.
Papa Benedicto XVI, Discurso al Congreso organizado por la Academia Pontificia para la Vida, 25 de
febrero de 2008.
Cuando Dios quiere que se haga algo importante en este mundo o que se corrija un mal, lo
emprende de una manera muy singular. No manda rayos ni provoca terremotos. Dios
simplemente hace que nazca un pequeño bebé, tal vez de un hogar muy humilde, tal vez de una
madre muy humilde. Y Dios pone la idea o propósito en el corazón de la madre. Y ella, en la
mente del bebé, y luego, Dios espera. Los grandes hechos de este mundo no son las batallas ni
las elecciones ni los terremotos, ni los rayos. Los grandes hechos son los bebés, porque cada niño
viene con el mensaje de que Dios aún no está desanimado por la humanidad, pero todavía está
esperando que la benevolencia se encarne en cada vida humana.
Edmond McDonald
Comparadas con las mujeres que no tuvieron abortos, las que tuvieron un aborto tenían 2,8 veces
más probabilidad de tener un bebé de bajo peso al nacer. Las que tuvieron dos abortos tenían 4,6
veces más probabilidad de tener un bebé de bajo peso al nacer, y las que tuvieron tres abortos
tenían 9,5 veces más probabilidad de tener un bebé de bajo peso al nacer. El riesgo de
nacimiento antes de término era 1,7 veces, 2 veces y 3 veces mayor, respectivamente, para
mujeres con uno, dos o tres abortos.

Next to the Blessed Sacrament itself, your neighbor is the holiest object presented to your senses.
If he is your Christian neighbor, he is holy in almost the same way, for in him also Christ … the
glorifier and the glorified, Glory Himself, is truly hidden.
C.S. Lewis, “The Weight of Glory”
Divorce and abortion are, of course, different choices, at times made in difficult and dramatic
circumstances. They often give rise to traumas and are a source of profound suffering for the
people who make them. ... They leave wounds that mark life indelibly. The Church has the
primary duty to approach [such] people with love and delicacy, with kindness and maternal
concern, in order to announce the merciful closeness of God and Jesus Christ. ... Yes, the gospel
of love and of life is also always the gospel of mercy.
Pope Benedict XVI, Address to the International Congress “Oil on the Wounds,” April 5, 2008
Sexually-active teenage girls (aged 14 to 17) are over 3 times more likely to be depressed than
girls who are not sexually active and almost 3 times more likely to attempt suicide than their
sexually inactive counterparts. One survey found that 72% of sexually active teenage girls (aged
12 to 17) wish they had waited longer before beginning sexual activity.
Robert Rector et al., Sexually Active Teenagers Are More Likely to Be Depressed and to Attempt Suicide
(June 3, 2003) Center for Data Analysis Report #03-04; available at heritage.org/Research/Abstinence/cda0304.cfm.
Fifty-nine studies “found that there is a significant increased risk of preterm birth or low birth
weight of babies in women who had a previous induced abortion compared to women with no
previous induced abortion.”
Byron C. Calhoun, MD et al., “Preterm Birth and Abortion,” Assoc. for Interdisciplinary Research in
Values and Social Change Research Bulletin 20:2 (Fall 2007).
“In February 2005, Sara Scantlin of Kansas awoke from the ‘persistent vegetative state’ she had
been in since a drunk driver hit her in 1984 when she was only 18. … ‘Since 22 September 1984,
Sara Scantlin had never uttered a word, her brain so badly damaged… that experts said she
would spend the rest of her life in her own silent world. … [Since she awoke, her parents] have
listened in astonishment as she reels off the names of relatives, former pets, friends from school
and dates. … Her doctor, Bradley Scheel, says critical pathways in Sarah’s brain … have
regenerated and kicked back into life. ... A very important part of this case is the fact that
throughout her 20-year coma, Sarah could see, hear, and understand what was going on around
her.’”

Después del Santísimo Sacramento, tu prójimo es el objeto más sagrado que se presenta a tus
sentidos. Si es tu prójimo cristiano, es santo casi de la misma manera, porque en él también
Cristo… quien glorifica y quien es glorificado, la Gloria en sí, está verdaderamente oculto.
C.S. Lewis, “The Weight of Glory”
Divorcio y aborto son opciones de naturaleza ciertamente distinta, a veces maduradas en
circunstancias difíciles y dramáticas, que comportan a menudo traumas y son fuente de
profundos sufrimientos para quien las toma... En todos dejan heridas que marcan indeleblemente
la vida. A estas personas tiene la Iglesia el deber primario de acercarse con amor y delicadeza,
con premura y atención materna, para anunciar la proximidad misericordiosa de Dios en
Jesucristo... Sí: el evangelio del amor y de la vida es también siempre evangelio de la
misericordia.
Papa Benedicto XVI, Discurso al Congreso internacional «Bálsamo en las heridas". 5 de abril de 2008
Las adolescentes (de 14 a 17 años de edad) sexualmente activas son por encima de tres veces
más probables de estar deprimidas en comparación con las adolescentes que no lo son, y casi tres
veces más probables de intentar suicidarse comparadas con sus pares que no lo son. Una
encuesta halló que el 72% de las adolescentes sexualmente activas (de 12 a 17 años de edad)
desean haber esperado más tiempo antes de comenzar a tener relaciones sexuales.

Cincuenta y nueve estudios “encontraron que aumenta de manera significativa el riesgo de dar a
luz antes de término o tener un bebé de bajo peso al nacer en mujeres que anteriormente tuvieron
un aborto inducido en comparación con las mujeres que no lo tuvieron anteriormente”.
Byron C. Calhoun, MD et al., “Preterm Birth and Abortion,” Assoc. for Interdisciplinary Research in
Values and Social Change Research Bulletin 20:2 (otoño de 2007).
“En febrero de 2005, Sara Scantlin de Kansas despertó del “estado vegetativo persistente” en el
que había estado desde que un conductor ebrio la atropelló en 1984 cuando tenía solamente 18
años… Desde el 22 de septiembre de 1984, Sara Scantlin no había nunca pronunciado una
palabra, su cerebro estaba tan gravemente dañado… que los expertos afirmaban que pasaría el
resto de su vida en su propio mundo de silencio… [Desde que despertó, sus padres] han
escuchado asombrados cuando recita el nombre de familiares, mascotas anteriores, amigos de la
escuela y fechas… Su doctor, Bradley Scheel, dice que los circuitos vitales del cerebro de Sarah
… se han regenerado y regresado a la vida... Parte muy importante de este caso es que durante el
coma de 20 años, Sarah podía ver, oír y comprender lo que sucedía a su alrededor’”.
