Archdiocese of Cincinnati

Dwell in the Word
2020-05-26 19:00 - 20:15 UTC | Zoom
Scripture encourages us to let God’s Word dwell within us (Col. 3:16), but to do this, we must learn to dwell in the Word. Even in this time of distance from our communal celebrations, Lectors and Psalmists have the ability to renew their understanding and appreciation of God’s Word and improve their skills in proclaiming it. Let us use this time well.
Dwell in the Word, a two-part video conference, will lead Lectors and Psalmists to reflect on the Word of God, its meaning and power, its connection to the Eucharist, and our role in the Word’s transformative work.
Session One will encourage theological reflection on the Word of God and the ministry of proclamation. Session Two will focus on practical skills and techniques for effective and inspiring proclamation, with breakouts specific to both Lectors and Psalmists.
We come together – in our dwelling places – to dwell in the Word. In so doing, we pray that on the joyous day when we may gather again for worship, the Word will dwell more richly in the Body of Christ.

Music Ministry Roundtable
2020-10-19 19:00 - 20:30 | Zoom
Pastoral musicians from throughout our archdiocese have found it helpful to gather to discuss common concerns and challenges as well as share ideas and best practices. Our roundtable discussion will be held on two different dates and times in order to include as many musicians as possible. Come with your questions and comments, ideas and solutions to share. No one understands the effect of this pandemic on music ministry more than our colleagues. Let’s talk.

Initiate
2021-04-22 13:30 | Zoom
Join fellow RCIA ministers – veteran and novice – for our free virtual workshop series, Initiate.
In just 90 minutes:

Dialogue with your colleagues about best practices for initiation ministry.
Explore some new ideas from experts in the field.
Discover new approaches to Christian Initiation, all from the comfort of your own tablet or computer!

Thursdays, 1:30-3pm:
Apr 22: All in the Family – RCIA in the Region/Cluster (Ms. Leisa Anslinger & panel)
The challenges and opportunities for a regional/cluster approach to adult initiation. How will RCIA work best in a Family of Parishes?

May 6: Accompaniment (Mr. Nicholas Hardesty)
RCIA coordinators are right to ensure that their candidates and catechumens receive the word of faith “whole and entire, in all its rigor and vigor”. Yet, if we’re not careful, our focus on catechesis can come at the expense of real relationship-building and a pastoral approach. We’ll explore how to prioritize accompaniment in the catechumenal process while still passing on the faith well.

May 20: Breaking Up is Hard to Do – New Approaches to Forming Candidates (Mr. Jeremy Helmes & panel)
Non-Catholic Christians should be formed and ritualized in their own way, not the same as catechumens. How to do this with limited resources, limited people, etc.
