EfM Updates

The current Education for Ministry seminar group is nearly finished with the 36 week program. David Telleen-Lawton will be finishing his Year Four work and will graduate in June. Congratulations, David! The theme for this year is “Living Faithfully in a Multicultural World,” and the group is currently focusing on hearing the call to ministry, vocation, and the effect of globalization on the mission of the church.

The group decided to donate as a group to Direct Relief International for aid to the earthquake victims and responders in Nepal. Each member contributed $20, and $180 was sent to DRI.

Each year the Diocese of Los Angeles has a Graduation Liturgy for EfM graduates, with family and guests from the diocese. The service, held at the Cathedral Center, is constructed by EfM groups from around the diocese, contributing to all aspects of the service, including musical selections, readings, homily, ushering and altar party. Santa Barbara EfM group mentor Robert Brown is involved in music leadership for this liturgy.
