First National Encuentro for Hispanic Youth and Young Adult Ministry in the U.S.
|
On April 9 Hispanic and non-hispanic youth and
young adults as well as directors of youth ministry met at the Catholic
Center to begin initial planning for the process leading to the First
National Encuentro for Hispanic Youth and Young Adult Ministry in the U.S.
The event will take place on June 8-11, 2006 at the University of
Notre Dame, South Bend, Indiana. In November, 2004, the Bishops Committee on
Hispanic Affairs of the United States Catholic Conference of Bishops decided
to co-sponsor this "encuentro." The common goal of this collaborative effort
is to engage Hispanic Catholic young people in a process of an encounter
with the Living Jesus Christ as the way to conversion, communion, solidarity
and mission. This process can empower Hispanic young people into a more
active, enthusiastic and influential participation in the life and mission
of the Church in the United States. Leading to the National Encounter is a
local process of participation by groups, parishes, the diocese and the
Midwest region. The First Regional Encuentro for Hispanic Youth and Young Adult Ministry took place in Grand Rapids February 17-19 at Catholic Central High School. |
First Regional Encounter for Hispanic Youth and Young Adult Ministry by Jisabelle García

The Diocese of Cleveland was
represented at the Regional Encounter by 14 outstanding and faithful young
adults. These young adults represented the following parishes: La Sagrada
Familia (2), St. Michael (6), Our Lady of Lourdes (1), and Painesville (5).
The Regional Encuentro was held in Grand Rapids, Michigan with the most
extreme cold air hovering over the event!
The real warmth lied in the 500 youth present from Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois and Indiana. It was amazing to see everyone come together to celebrate their faith within their Latino culture. We celebrated with music, prayer and dancing. Most importantly, we went to develop the mission of the Encuentro. Not only did we have time for fellowship, but we participated in workshops that allowed us to present our views and ideas to the Church. Overall, we had the opportunity to learn from one another through our similarities and differences while increasing our faith in the Church and our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. |
Training on The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People
Congratulations to the participants of the Training on The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People (Stephen R. Covey, author) that took place March 11 and 12, 2006 at Our Lady of Lourdes Church. This very successful editorial embodies the essential principles rooted in our moral conscience and common sense. The training was a good opportunity to be proactive and to think with an abundant mentality in all that we do, improve our lives and be hope for the Church. The training was facilitated by Mr. Misael Mayorga, director of the Office of Hispanic Ministry and Ms. Eloisa Ortíz from Our Lady of Guadalupe Church, California.

The Office of Hispanic Ministry celebrated their annual Faith and Culture event entitled, "Profets of Hope" during Hispanic Heritage Month. Auxiliary Bishop Roger Gries joined us as principal celebrant of the mass that was celebrated at Holy Martyrs Church in Medina. Our guest homilist, Fr. Jaime Paredes from the Archdiocese of San Salvador, paid homage to the martyrs of El Salvador: Archbishop Romero, Sr. Ita Ford, Sr. Maura Clark, Sr. Dorothy Kazel and Ms. Jean Donovan. A wonderful fiesta followed in the church hall with coffee and plenty of delicious deserts, music and entertainment by the children's dance group "RAICES" from St. Bernard Church - Akron and "Body of Christ", a Liturgical Dance group from Sacred Heart Church -Lorain.

Mustard Seed Project
The purpose of this project is to promote and encourage Hispanic vocations. The goals are to convene youth ages 12-18 and young adults ages 18-30 to consider Church ministry as a life choice and to provide theological and pastoral educational experiences that will encourage and support such young adults as they discern God's call in their lives.
The pilot program at St. Bernard's Akron included 5 meetings, 4 classes
and an on-site visit. It was a huge success and helped make the community more
appreciative of religious life.
