2011 SUMMER RECOLLECTIONS FOR LITURGICAL MINISTERS END at PENTECOST VIGIL

The Recollections for Liturgical Ministers (Lectors/Commentators, Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion, Music Ministers, Social Action Ministers, Usher/Usherettes and Collecta Teams) ended a day before the Pentecost, 11 June 2011.

The theme of this year's Summer Recollection is on Stewardship. Fr. Mario DC Sanchez gave a three-part conference in the morning covering the meaning of stewardship, the summary of the USCCB's Pastoral letter on Stewardship, and Archbishop Socrates Villegas' Pastoral Letters on Stewardship. The afternoon session of the Recollection was always given by Fr. Eric Galivo, the Liturgist of the Archdiocese for important Liturgical Notes for practical application in the exercise of the various Liturgical ministries.

Vocation and Mission of LFC

Christifidelis Laici, the 1985 Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation of Pope John Paul II on the Vocation and Mission of the Lay Faithful in the Church and in the World, speaks very eloquently about the formation of the lay faithful. According to this document, the laity should receive a complete and integrated formation, one which bears its fruit in every sphere of their existence and activity.

1) The spiritual formation of the laity – their continual growth in communion with Christ is nourished by the help to holiness offered by the Church.

2) Doctrinal formation – which will enable them to explain to the world the reason for their hope. Systematic catechesis is also necessary.

3) A proper formation of a social conscience, especially in the Church’s social teaching.

4) An integrated program of formation that cultivates the human values and skills necessary for the lay faithful’s apostolic activities.

God is the first formator of the laity. The Church for her part also takes part in forming the lay faithful through the ministry of teaching and celebration of the sacraments. The Lay Formation Center exists for this purpose.
