Concurrent Sessions—Round B

Friday, 3:30 p.m.-5:00 p.m.

B1 The Holy Eucharist—Historically Speaking

GCCC: Battelle Hall

Why do we do what we do throughout the Mass? For everything in the liturgy there is a historical reason and that still has meaning today. From the lighted candles (needed to light those dark catacombs!) to the bows and genuflections, there is a story of how it came to be and why we still do it.

Speaker: Fr. James W. Kiernan with Who Do You Say I Am

B2 Catholics ‘R Us!

GCCC: Hall C

Get ready to laugh and learn about the gift of our Catholic heritage! Expect the unexpected with Catholic comedian and storyteller Doug Brummel and his crazy “cast of characters!” Together we will learn to connect our faith into everyday life in a way that reminds us of why we are proud to be Catholic!

Speaker: Doug Brummel
Musical Warm-up Artist: Friends of Jesus

B3 The Unfolding Story of God

GCCC: Hall D

ValLimar uses storytelling, song, and movement to trace the unfolding story of God, from creation to separation to redemption and resurrection. How does this story resonate in our lives as young Catholics? How does the continually unfolding story of God impact the daily choices we make as practicing Catholics?

Speaker: ValLimar Jansen
Musical Warm-up Artist: Sal Solo
