Opportunities

"Co-Workers" Seminar to be offered in Rome in 2010

For the fourth consecutive year there will be a unique seminar opportunity in Rome on June 6--11, 2010 for lay ecclesial ministers and students in lay ministry formation programs. This year's theme is "The Co-responsibility of Priests and Laity: Wisdom from the Past, Hope for the Future." The program will explore from early times to the present day how ordained and lay members of Christ's faithful have been "co-workers" for the sake of the Church's communion and mission. The program has a unique methodology of guided visits to churches and historical sites, lectures, panel presentations, peer conversations, contacts with Vatican staff, journalists and other experts in Rome. It offers intellectual stimulation, spiritual enrichment, cultural appreciation, socializing and the enjoyment of the "dolce vita" that only Rome can offer. Mass is offered daily and there is the opportunity to attend a papal audience. Group size is limited to 20.

The seminar is offered by the Lay Centre in Rome. See their website for further details and registration information: http://www.laycentre.org/programs.html .

The seminar has been designed with help from the USCCB Secretariat of Laity, Marriage, Family Life and Youth. For more information contact Rick McCord, the Executive Director, 202-541-3043 or rmccord@usccb.org.
