ONLY FOUR (4) SEMINARS are scheduled for the Lay Ministes (Lectors and Lay Eucharistic Ministers) this September, October and November. The schedule was revised after consultation was held with some Lay Ministers, and the availability of LFC and the speakers.

October 6 and 13 (2 Saturdays, 8AM to 4PM)
November 3 and 10 (2 Saturdays, 8AM to 4PM)
November 17 and 24 (2 Saturdays, 8AM to 4PM)
The Seminars in November will cater to the Lay Ministers who cannot understand the Pangasinan language.
All the other dates issued in the last newsletter have been CANCELLED. Here is a list of the parishes who came for the updating seminars (see next column).
The UPDATING Seminar this year was developed according to the requests of several parish priests who wanted the seminars at LFC to be more practical or relevant to their ministry. There are four (4) long conferences on the scheduled two (2) Saturdays.
The first Saturday of the Seminar has conferences on LITURGY and SCRIPTURES. On the Liturgy, the following are covered: (a) the meaning of liturgy; (b) the Liturgical Year - Seasons and Colors; (c) the Eucharist; and (d) the Parts of the Holy Mass. On the Scriptures, the twenty-one (21) Letters of the New Testament are covered.
The second Saturday of the Seminar has conferences on the following: DOCTRINE and SPIRITUALITY. On Doctrine, LFC invites the Seminary Fathers to give the Lecture. The twelve articles of faith are usually covered. On Spirituality, the meaning of Lay Spirituality and the Spirituality of Lay Ministry - adequate preparation and practical suggestions- are explained.
