Transforming Society With Jesus: What is the Lord Asking of Us?
Sept. 13, 2008 from 9-4 at St. Ignatius High SchoolBishop Alvaro Ramazzini of San Marcos, Guatemala, an internationally known human rights spokesman, will give two talks on issues of immigration and facilitate a dialogue on what we can do in the Cleveland area. Available to us that day will be representatives from the Catholic Legal Immigration Network (CLINIC) and from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Justice for Immigrants Project.
The issue of immigration is presently one of great complexity and great emotion. There are no easy fixes, no facile solutions to a problem which has been building for many decades. Before we can begin to educate our church members and provide opportunities for growth in consciousness on this issue, we need to educate and sensitize ourselves.
This workshop will be held Sept. 13, 2008 from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm at St. Ignatius High School, 1911 West 30th Street. For the brochure and information on registration, click here.

24th Annual Eastern Churches Seminar—Marriage in Society: East and West or Nowhere, October 10-11, 2008
This seminar is open to clergy, religious and laity of the Eastern and Western churches and is especially helpful for religion teachers and pastoral ministers to aid their understanding of the Eastern traditions. People use the word “marriage” today with so many different definitions as well as connotations that we do sometimes wonder if we are going nowhere in using it. But, the church universal in its tradition from the East and West offers a solid and rich understanding of both marriage and sexuality that it challenges our contemporaries to look at this relation as a dynamic social and religious reality that enriches human existence and directs us to the glory of God.
The seminar will be held Friday, October 10, 2008 at St. Gregory of Narek Armenian Orthodox Church, 678 Richmond Road, Richmond Heights, OH 44143 and Saturday, October 11, 2008 at Notre Dame College, 4545 College Road, South Euclid, OH 44121.
