Peakview Avenue, Suite 105 Centennial, CO 80111 "All missionary activity, which seeks to foster encounters with the Lord, must begin in silence, in lives of intimate prayer before the Lord. This is especially true in education, where fostering an attitude of receptivity and humility and wonder is at the heart of your mission. If we want to cultivate an authentically Catholic and liberal school, which liberates us to know the Lord, we need to cultivate a spiritual- ity of silence, which is at the heart of discipleship, listening to the master," he continued. When the teacher cultivates a recep- tivity to silence and wonder, which is the place of deepest and most authentic learning, it makes a teacher "fi t to foster authentic transformation of students," according to Bishop Conley. This receptivity of silence and wonder is what allows us to really learn, to see reality as it truly is. "True schools are communities of learners and faculties of friends, receiving and apprehending reality together. True communities of learn- ers are humble disciples of the truth," Bishop Conley said. "Pope St. John Paul II wrote, 'Faced with the sacredness of life and the human person, and before the marvels of the universe, wonder is the only appropriate attitude.'" Rosemary Anderson, principal of Our Lady of Lourdes school, contin- ued the discussion on the vocation of the teacher in her address. "Teaching is a vocation, not just a career. Many modern education pro- grams are killing the spirit of the voca- tion…it's an art form, not an equation," Anderson said. "It's a call of the heart to help form souls. Jesus asked to be called teacher, and we model ourselves after him." In an interview with Denver Cath- olic, Anderson said that this regional conference came at the perfect time. "It's divine providence that we're hosting the conference, with the open- ing of Frassati Catholic Academy and Bishop Machebeuf adding a classical track, so there's a lot of growing inter- est, and the goal is to help teachers grow deeper in knowledge of classical education," Anderson said. "One of the primary goals is also to foster a sense of community within these schools to help their mission." Several teachers from Frassati Cath- olic Academy attended the conference and plan to take that inspiration to the classroom. "I am really excited to help build the classical culture, as well as learn with the sta› ," said Anthony Saulino, Fras- sati's athletic director and P.E. teacher. "[The conference] impacted my teach- ing philosophy tremendously. It made me think how I can emphasize Jesus and our faith into my classroom more. " Denver's former auxiliary bishop James D. Conley, now of the diocese of Lincoln, delivered the key- note at the Institute for Catho- lic Liberal Education Conference July 5-7, in which he discussed the voca- tion of a teacher.
