¿Desee una educación en teología y ministerio enseñado en español?
Entonces le invitamos a una reunión informativa con:

¿Por qué un certificado en teología y ministerio? El instituto de Loyola para el Ministerio (LIM) está pilotando cursos en español al nivel del certificado para responder a las necesidades pastorales de católicos de habla hispana en áreas - nacionalmente e internacionalmente – que tengan poco acceso a cursos universitarios. LIM emprende este proyecto en respuesta a la Conferencia de Obispos Católicos de los Estados Unidos y su plan pastoral nacional para el ministerio hispano, que pide la “una formación adaptada a la cultura hispánica en los Estados Unidos que ayudará a la gente a vivir y a promover un estilo de la Iglesia que sea levadura del reino de Dios en sociedad.”
Un certificado de formación en la teología y el ministerio se otorga a los estudiantes que han completado un total de 18 CEUs de estudio con el Instituto para el Ministerio. Incluye un programa en la formación espiritual en la cual los estudiantes rezan al estilo de San Ignacio en los ejercicios espirituales de Loyola. Como con todos los programas del LIM, éste programa conforma con el estilo de San Ignacio, es práctico, y es económico.
¡Y sobre todo - está aquí en Nuevo México!
Los que viven lejos de Las Cruces pueden asistir por medio de la Red Diocesana de Aprendizaje a Larga Distancia. Hay que tener conexión al Internet.

Protect Conscience Rights and Religious Liberty: Urge Congressional Support for H.R. 940
Dear Friend:
The Obama Administration's contraceptive / abortifacient / sterilization mandate will begin to be enforced against nonprofit religious schools, charities and health care providers on August 1. In the days to come, Congress must decide whether to address this problem through must-pass legislation before that deadline.
Members of the House should be urged to include the Health Care Conscience Rights Act (H.R. 940) in the next bill needed to keep the federal government operating.
Materials on the need for better conscience protection are available at www.usccb.org/conscience.
Resources include new fact sheets and four "voices of conscience" -- video testimonies of women who spoke at the House of Representatives press conference last month about the need to enact H.R. 940.
Please act today to protect conscience rights and religious liberty!
Recommended Actions:
• Send an e-mail to your Representative through the USCCB's Action Center.
• Call your Representative. Contact the U.S. Capitol switchboard at 202-224-3121, or call your Representative's local office.
Additional info may be found on Representatives' web sites at www.house.gov.
• Learn even more on this printer-friendly version of the alert.
Suggested Message: "Please include the Health Care Conscience Rights Act (H.R. 940) in upcoming 'must-pass' legislation. Government must not force Americans to violate their religious and moral beliefs on respect for life when they provide health care or purchase health coverage."
Thank you!
P.S. Please forward this action alert to friends and family who share your concern about conscience rights and religious liberty.
