SUMMARY:Habits of the Heart… Surviving and thriving as a young(er) Religious today
DESCRIPTION:Presentation\nThis retreat is for Religious 55(ish) and under serving the people of God in Canada (or with Canadian connection). \nThe retreat invites us to ponder the habits of our heart that we need to embrace or abandon\, to live and respond whole heartedly as younger Religious today in our communities\, church and world. \nFr. Ron Rolheiser\, OMI\, will walk with and lead us on our retreat. Our time will include input\, silence\, communal prayer and conversation. \nInformation and registration\nCost: $775 (or $875 for en suite bathroom) \nContact:  Céline Belliveau\, NDSC\, ndscgen@rogers.com \nRegistration deadline: June 1\, 2019 \nAbout the “55ish and Under” group\nIn 2017\, a novice with the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary\, Michelle Garlinski\, suggested a retreat for “newer/younger” religious from\, or ministering in\, Canada\, so they could meet and journey together. The invitation was sent out and approximately 25 religious responded and attended a retreat in Saskatoon\, SK\, facilitated by Fr. Ron Rolheiser OMI. And this is how the informal “55ish and Under” group of religious in Canada was born. A second retreat followed in 2018\, again in Saskatoon and facilitated by Fr. Rolheiser. Out of this gathering\, a blog where new and younger religious share their stories was set up (aroundthewell.ca). This year\, new and younger religious are invited to gather for a retreat in Mississauga\, ON\, again facilitated by Fr. Ron Rolheiser (see poster). \nAbout the guest speaker\n \nRon Rolheiser was born in Macklin\, Saskatchewan\, in 1947\, into a large family\, to George and Matilda (Gartner) Rolheiser. \nAs a young child\, Ron’s father George\, along with his family\, and other German- Russian families\, immigrated from Saratov\, Russia\, and settled\, as homesteaders\, near the Alberta border where they established a community centered around St. Donatus Church in Cactus Lake\, Saskatchewan. Ron’s mother Matilda was from a family of homesteaders in a nearby area. After meeting George at a parish picnic\, they married\, acquired a farm\, near Cactus Lake\, within 4 miles of the original Rolheiser homestead. \nBoth parents died young\, in their early sixties\, within three months of each other. \nLife on a mixed farm included chores before and after school and helping with the seeding and harvest. Driving farm machinery as a teenager was one of the more enjoyable tasks. The family was active and competitive. Skating on frozen ponds in the winter\, pick up hockey games\, playing cards\, board games and ping pong tournaments were part of winter evenings. Ball tournaments were a huge part of the summer. Every weekend found the family at parish picnics and sports days where family members played\, coached and managed teams.  Ron’s love of sports has roots in these family times. Family birthdays\, feast days\, weddings\, and weekend dances often included cousins. \nEducation was highly valued by Ron’s parents. Excellence was expected and Ron rose to the challenge. He was an impatient scholar always looking for knowledge and ideas beyond the world he experienced. He shared a love of education and knowledge with his father\, with whom he shared a strong bond and mutual respect. \nFollowing his school years\, Ron entered the novitiate of the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate and professed his First Vows in September 1966. Ordained to the priesthood in 1972\, Ron continued his education\, receiving a B.A. (University of Ottawa\, 1969)\, B.Th. (Newman Theological College\, 1973)\, M.A. (University of San Francisco\, 1974)\, M.R.Sc. (University of Louvain\, 1982) and Ph.D/STD (University of Louvain\, 1983). During and after his own studies\, he taught theology and philosophy at Newman Theological College\, in Edmonton\, Alberta\, Canada. \nIn 1982\, while living and studying in Belgium\, Fr. Ron began to write a regular feature column in the Canadian newspaper\, The Western Catholic Reporter. The column offered reflections on various theological\, church and secular issues. \nThirty-two years later\, the popular column is carried by almost one hundred newspapers worldwide. \nFr. Ron’s writing wasn’t limited to a weekly column during that period. His first book\, The Loneliness Factor (Dimension Books\, Denville NJ) was published in 1979. It was followed by Spirituality for a Restless Culture (Twenty Third Publications\, Mystic CN 1991)\, The Shattered Lantern (Hodder and Stoughton\, London\, 1994\, and Crossroads\, New York\, 1995)\, Against an Infinite Horizon (Hodder and Stoughton\, London\, 1995 and Crossroads\, New York)\, The Holy Longing\, (Doubleday\, New York\, 1999)\, The Restless Heart (Hodder and Stoughton\, London\, 1998\, Doubleday\, New York\, 2004)\, Forgotten among the Lilies (Hodder and Stoughton\, London\, 1990\, Doubleday\, New York\, 2005)\, Our One Great Act of Fidelity: Waiting for Christ in the Eucharist (Doubleday Religion\, New York\, 2011\, Secularity and the Gospel: Being Missionary to our own Children (Crossroads\, New York\, 2006)\, and Prayer: Our Deepest Longing (Franciscan Media\, Cincinnatti\, 2013). Fr. Ron’s book Sacred Fire: A Vision for a Deeper Human and Christian Maturity (Image Books\, Random House\, New York\, 2014) won Book of the Year\, Catholic Book Awards\, 2015\, and Best Book in Spirituality\, Catholic Book awards 2015. The Passion and the Cross (Franciscan Media\, Cincinnati\, 2015) is Ron’s latest book. \nFr. Ron is in demand and well known as speaker. Keeping an active speaking schedule\, his retreats and workshops have inspired many. Along with his academic knowledge in systematic theology and philosophy\, he has become a popular speaker in the areas of contemporary spirituality and religion and the secular world. Oblate Communications and Franciscan Communications has produced fifteen DVDs of his retreats that are well loved for both individual and group use. \nIn 1991\, while on sabbatical\, Fr. Ron was asked by his religious community to serve as the Provincial Superior of his home province. He served two terms as Provincial of St. Mary’s Province (Canada). In 1998\, Fr. Ron was elected Regional Councilor for Canada\, serving on the General Administration of the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate\, in Rome\, for six years. In August 2005\, Fr. Ron became the President of the Oblate School of Theology in San Antonio Texas\, a position he maintains to this day. \nFr. Ron still is very involved in the life of his large extended family enjoying their annual hiking trips and New Year’s celebrations. Most Christmases you will find him in his home church\, St. Donatus\, near the former family farm in Cactus Lake\, Saskatchewan. Fr. Ron is also known for his commitment to prayer and exercise\, a continuing love of sports\, his sense of humor\, his loyalty to his friends\, and the enjoyment of the odd cigar and fine scotch. \nSource: https://ronrolheiser.com/ \nPoster

SUMMARY:Decolonization and Climate Change\, a JEM gathering
DESCRIPTION:Presentation\nAt the JEM meeting last year were explored the themes of awe and wonder in our relationship with Earth with Dr. Heather Eaton. \nJEM want to begin uncovering the connection between the process of decolonisation and climate change. The recent IPCC [Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change] report and the subsequent COP 24 [Conference of the Parties] meeting in Poland again urge us to find ways to challenge our skewed relationship with planet earth\, our common home. \nDecolonisation is a transforming process in which we seek to: \n\nPrivilege Indigenous voices so as to learn and be transformed by them\nRecover the wisdom within Indigenous cultures\, especially the ways of being in relationship with the land and its many species\nChallenge our dominant worldview of settler-society\n\nThe high levels [per capita] of greenhouse gas emissions in Canada can be understood as a long-term impact of the settler-worldview with its focus on exploitation for profit. Can the transforming and unsettling process of decolonisation draw us\, as individuals and as a society\, into a new worldview\, new relationships with the land\, water and each other. \nOn May 22 and 23\, Sylvia McAdam (Saysewahum)\, Jennifer Henry and other prominent speakers and activists will help us to reflect on the connection between the process of decolonization and climate change. \nCan the transforming and unsettling process of decolonisation draw us\, as individuals and as a society\, into a new world view\, new relationships with the land\, water and each other? \nSchedule\nWednesday\,  May 22 – Dinner and Free Public Lecture \n4:45-5:00 pm – Arrival & Registrations (invitation to leaders/treasurers or their designated representatives) \n5:00-6:30 pm – Reception and Dinner (invitation to leaders/treasurers or their designated representatives) \n7:30 – 9:00pm – Public lecture (invitation to everyone) \nThursday\, May 23 – JEM gathering for representatives from religious congregations \n9:00 – 9:30 am – Registration \n9:30 – 3:30pm – JEM Programming for representatives of religious congregations including an address from Sylvia McAdam (Saysewahum)\, Jennifer Henry\, third speaker (TBA) and a call to action with Citizens for Public Justice (CPJ)\, SHARE and Blue Communities. \nBreaks and lunch are included and will be taken during the day. \nAudience\nReligious communities\, staff and collaborators.

SUMMARY:A Journey into Exile
DESCRIPTION:An exercise to raise awareness about the reality of a life in exile experienced by refugees around the world \nThe objective of this simulation exercise is to foster empathy towards refugees. In many Western countries\, public opinion is increasingly hostile to refugees. We hope that the simulation exercise will serve a tool that allows non-refugees to better understand what refugees go through\, to then become more welcoming and be in greater solidarity with them. \nSchedule\n18:30 – Welcome\, registration \n19:00 – Beginning of the simulation exercise \n20:20 – Talking circle \n21:00 – End \nFacilitators\nFerdinand Djayerombe Vaweka\nAssociate Director\, JPIC\nCanadian Religious Conference \nJanelle Delorme\nAnimator\nDevelopment and Peace Manitoba \nInformation and registration\nFerdinand Djayerombe Vaweka\n514 259-0856 Ext. #108\nfdjayerombe@crc-canada.org \n  \nPhoto credit: Aurélie Marrier d’Unienville\, Caritas internationalis

SUMMARY:Discover 175 years of history and the richness of a written heritage  by attending a public reading entitled Archives Aloud
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, September 29\, in the context of the Journées de la culture (Cultural Days)\, the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary (SNJM) are offering two presentations of a public reading\, Archives Aloud\, which includes projections and musical interludes. This activity invites you to discover the richness of the SNJM heritage by immersing yourself in the world of 175 years of SNJM history\, as preserved in written archives. \nThis first major public reading\, entitled Educate to liberate\, is perfectly in line with the theme of the 2018 Journées de la culture\, which puts words in the spotlight. In fact\, listening to the reading of texts from the archives is an opportunity to be enchanted by the resonance of the words\, to absorb all their meanings and to be captivated by the stories they tell. \nThe various archival excerpts which will be presented testify to the lives and commitments of sisters in several spheres of action. The readings will help reveal the deep and ever-present values of the congregation\, which\, inspired by its foundress Marie-Rose Durocher\, has been responding to the needs of people since 1843\, empowering them to reach their full potential. \nThe presentations\, each lasting approximately one hour\, will be held at 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. in the Longueuil Convent Chapel. Please reserve as soon as possible\, since the number of seats is limited. \nOpen House at Longueuil Convent and Guided Outdoor Tour  \nIn the spirit of these Journées de la culture\, SNJMs invite the public to take advantage of the Open House from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. to visit the historical rooms where the foundress lived\, the original chapel\, the Foundation House (the former parish school) and the museum dedicated to the pioneers of the first teaching congregation of women religious founded by a Canadian. \n\nIt will also be possible\, by means of a guided tour of the archival exhibition\, Educate to liberate\, to deepen the knowledge acquired during the public reading. Lastly\, visitors who would like to discover more about the rich heritage buildings on this site\, which is at the heart of the foundation of the City of Longueuil\, can register for the outdoor thematic tour entitled “If these walls could talk\,” offered at 3 p.m.\, by reservation. \n\nTo learn more about these activities (no fee) that will take place at 80\, rue Saint-Charles Est\, Longueuil\, or to register for the various approximately hour-long presentations which require reservations\, call 450 651-8104\, extension 0\, or send an email to reception@snjm.org.  \nThe contribution of SNJMs to the activities of the Journées de la culture is carried out in collaboration with the City of Longueuil. It is part of the 175th anniversary activities of the Congregation of the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary.

SUMMARY:Creation spirituality retreat: Christian faith and spirituality in an evolving cosmos
DESCRIPTION:Over the past half century\, we have become increasingly aware of a growing scientific consensus about the expanding universe that originated in a burst of energy sorne fourteen billion years ago and the evolving earth community that has become conscious in the emergence of the human. \n\nHow can Christian faith and spirituality\, developed and lived within the static and juridical categories of ancient philosophies\, be re-thought within the dynamic and physical categories of contemporary science?\nIs it possible that what materialist evolutionists often take to be the religiously ruinous consequences of scientific thought are in fact fresh openings to mysterious sacred depths of reality previously unfathomed?\nWhat in our tradition  needs to change?\nWhat must be retained?\nWhere do we encounter God in today’s world of quirks and quarks\,chaos and creativity?\nHow shall we pray alone and with others?\n\nThese are the kind of questions we will explore together in this retreat. \nGuest speaker\n \nSister Donna Geernaert\, SC \nBorn in Saskatchewan\, Donna Geernaert grew up in Vancouver\, BC. She joined the Sisters of Charity of Halifax and earned her initial degree at Mount Saint Vincent University. She holds a PhD in Theology from the University of St. Michael’s College\,Toronto and has taught at Mount Saint Vincent University in Halifax and Saint Joseph’s College in Edmonton. As director of ecumenical and interfaith relations for the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops from 1984-2002\, she served on the Canadian Council of Churches Governing Board and Commission on Faith and Witness\, participated in ecumenical conversations with Anglican\, Lutheran\, Orthodox\, and United churches\, as well as interfaith dialogue with the Canadian Jewish Congress and with representatives of the Council of Muslim Communities in Canada. From August 2002 to September 2014\, she served as the Congregational Leader for the Sisters of Charity-Halifax.

SUMMARY:Communicating the mission in the digital space
DESCRIPTION:Basic Communication Course for Consecrated Life\n  \nCommunication is part of God’s plan for us and an essential way to experience fellowship. Made in the image and likeness of our Creator\, we are able to express and share all that is true\, good\, and beautiful. We are able to describe our own experiences and the world around us\, and thus to create historical memory and the understanding of events. Pope Francis \nDescription\nThe human person embodies communication in his/her body and in his/ her various forms of expression. Today\, because of the many relationships that each person manages\, one can define the person as a living social network. Because of the key role that communication plays in our society\, the religious world needs to prepare consciously and appropriately to live in digital space\, learning how to “communicate the mission” in order to reach its target audience. This program is aimed primarily atthose working specifically in the field of communication. The course we offer will help participants understand what communication means today and how to use it for mission. We will open up different perspectives in order to learn how to manage digital spaces effectively and make them places of deep communion\, both for individual and institutional communication. \nWe invite all participants to read the Message of Pope Francis for the 52 World Communications Day. We will use the document during the course. \nSchedule\nFRIDAY\, March 9  \n8:30 a.m. Registration \n9:30 – 12:30 Seminar \n\nThe Church in the Digital Culture\nH. E. Mons.

Maximum: 30 participants for each course. \nFormators \nThe course will be facilitated by the staff of the Communication Offices of USMI and UISG\, by members of Multimedia International; experts will be invited to present on specific topics. \nMethodology \nAn experiential approach will be used\, moving from the practical and concrete to the more theoretical and conceptual; there will be “hands-on” use of technical tools.
