OPEN SEMINARS FOR LAY MINISTERS EVERY SATURDAY


The Lay Ministers who attended Fr. Platon's seminar "On the Blessed Virgin Mary"

BEING TRUE to its name, the “Lay Formation Center” of the Archdiocese of Lingayen-Dagupan is currently holding seminars open to the Laity every Saturday, from 2PM to 6PM.

Going on now is the Seminar on the Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church. The Most Rev. Renato P. Mayugba opened the series on the 3rd of June and he will also close it on the 26th of August 2006. The seminar outline will follow the 12 chapters of the said Compendium. Priests-brothers, Anthony and Fidelis B. Layog of Sta. Barbara Parish; Fr. Mario R. Morales, Rector of the Mary Help of Christians College Seminary (MHCCS); Fr. Oliver E. Mendoza of St. Fabian Parish; Fr. Jim Cerezo, Prefect of Discipline of MHCCS; and, Fr. Mario DC. Sanchez, LFC Director will give the lectures.

The first seminar scheduled last February 2006 was on Lay Theology and Spirituality. It was attended by more than 60 participants. The second was a Lenten Seminar on Pauline Spirituality. Both were given by Fr. Sanchez. The third seminar was on the Blessed Virgin Mary. Fr. Alvin Gerald Platon, the Prefect of Discipline and Dogma Professor at the Immaculate Conception School of Theology (ICST) in Vigan, Ilocos Sur gave the weekend seminar last May. In September, the seminar on Lay Theology and Spirituality will be given again on all its Saturdays by Fr. Sanchez.

More than a hundred lay ministers are currently attending the seminar on the Social Doctrines of the Church. Attendance of four sessions would entitle the Lay Minister of a Certificate from the Lay Formation Center.
