Co-Workers in the Vineyard of the Lord:

Called to Communion, Called to Mission

A Rome Seminar

1 July - 6 July 2009

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

In their 2005 statement Co-Workers in the Vineyard of the Lord, the U.S. bishops stated that, "communion and mission provide the foundation for understanding and carrying out lay ecclesial ministry."

This program draws upon the unique historical, artistic, theological and spiritual resources of the city of Rome in order to deepen our grasp of this truth.  The program is an integrated experience of spiritual growth, intellectual development, personal enrichment, and a broad appreciation of social and pastoral situations experienced by lay ecclesial ministers throughout the world.  A unique and not-to-be missed opportunity to learn, share and be spiritually refreshed for all lay ecclesial ministers.
