This website presents a framework for a self-guided retreat based on the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola. The retreat will consist of 32 Steps divided in four Phases (plus the “Contemplation to Attain the Love of God” leading to the aftermath of the retreat). Each Step is built up so that with the help of the given material you can do one or more sessions consisting of prayer, meditation, reflection, and sharing if more than one person does the retreat together. Whatever from this material is more significant for you, stay with it as long as you feel, do repetitions if you wish so to get the more fruit that is possible out of each Step.

The Holy See has often challenged the Church and society to work toward establishing a culture of life which respects and safeguards human dignity. In the health care ministry, difficult ethical problems often arise that demand enlightened and informed responses and interventions. Living wills, physician-assisted suicide, human cloning, embryonic stem cell research, organ donation, withdrawal of nutrition and hydration, and allocation of limited health care resources are only a few examples of the many complex situations that arise in modern clinical and research settings.

The National Catholic Certification Program in Health Care Ethics has been developed at the request of many bishops and administrators of health care facilities to provide a credible and systematic formation so that dioceses, hospitals and ethics committees will have advisors better qualified to apply the Catholic moral tradition to challenging contemporary issues in health care. The part-time, year-long program combines a theoretical component with a practically oriented component based on case studies.

Objectives:
The objective of The National Catholic Certification Program in Health Care Ethics is to train those engaged in the health care ministry, and other interested individuals, to effectively represent the Church's moral teaching in their various institutions as it is summarized in The Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services.

Upon completion of the one-year program, students will be able to:

* Articulate the Church's understanding of the inherent dignity of the human person as the objective basis for the Church's moral tradition in health care.
* Apply the Church's moral teaching as expressed in The Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services to the resolution of complex bioethical dilemmas encountered in clinical education, practice and research.
* Identify resources available to health care workers and others involved in the health care ministry which provide guidance for the resolution of bioethical issues.

Web-Based Distance Learning Program:
Participants must attend an initial two-day seminar held in the fall in various cities across the United States. Students then interact independently with an instructor through a series of four learning modules over the course of the one-year program of study. Modules are completed through weekly assignments which include readings and an assessment of each student's theoretical understanding and ability to make practical application of the module content. Students are also given the opportunity to interact with their instructor, NCBC ethicists, and peers through a series of teleconferences and through an online discussion group. The program will culminate with a required intensive one-day seminar of case studies at the NCBC offices in Philadelphia on May 2, 2010.

Who Will Benefit From the Program?
The National Catholic Certification Program in Health Care Ethics was primarily designed for Church leaders, health care workers, those in the life sciences and ethics committee members. However, professionals and specialists from a wide range of venues, including centers for biomedical and biological research, universities, legal, and government institutions involved in the shaping of public policy are among those likely to benefit. Additionally, Catholic high school teachers in science and religion have found the program to be a great benefit.

Continuing Education Credit
The National Association of Catholic Chaplains has approved the National Catholic Certification Program in Health Care Ethics for 144 continuing education credit hours.

Graduation Credit
Up to 12 graduate credits in theology will be available for the 2009 - 2010 program through Holy Apostles Seminary and College.

For information on registration for the 2009 - 2010 program, please call Julie Kelley at 215-877-2660.

"Everyday Creativity" is about making the ordinary, extraordinary. Each of us is faced with creatively coming up with the next solution, the next answer to our problems. And this means in our businesses, our communities, or our families. Creativity is often thought of as a phenomenon that is larger-than-life, or out of the ordinary. Something reserved for a few "artistic" types. Dewitt Jones challenges such thinking and shows us how creativity is something much more accessible. Using his own photos as the basis for memorable stories, Dewitt shows us how an open mind, a solid understanding of our craft, and the willingness to venture beyond what is expected, can change our ability to live more creatively, everyday.

Saint Joseph’s College of Maine announces new scholarships for students enrolled in its online Master of Arts in Pastoral Theology degree. According to theology program director Dr. Daniel Sheridan, Dr. William and Judy Davis of Columbia, Mo., have pledged for the next three years to sponsor scholarships that can be used toward tuition, books and fees. Davis, professor emeritus at the University of Missouri Health Care School of Medicine, is a 2007 graduate of the master’s theology program at Saint Joseph’s.

Saint Joseph’s College provides theological education for those seeking to serve the Catholic Church and society. According to Sheridan, the Davis scholarships will aid students seeking to work in lay ministry. “To be an effective lay minister requires a solid theological foundation in Catholic doctrine combined with a deep spiritual and pastoral orientation,” he notes.

Each scholarship applicant must have taken at least two courses in the online graduate theology program, be in academic good standing, be recommended by their diocese or parish, and have demonstrated financial need. Visit online.sjcme.edu/scholarship-resources.php or call (800) 752-4723 or (207) 893-7841.

Saint Joseph’s undergraduate and graduate theology programs offer study of the breadth, depth, and strength of Catholic theology. According to Sheridan, the programs deepen faith and enable a better-grounded and informed lay ministry. Saint Joseph’s has offered distance education for adult learners since 1976. More information about the online theology programs can be found at online.sjcme.edu/master-arts-pastoral-theology.php.
