Abstract

Abstract:While spiritual retreats had been part of Catholic clerical and religious life for centuries, this specialized time of concentrated prayer and reflection became normative for the laity only in the twentieth century. At approximately the same time, youth ministry, a specialized outreach to teenagers, was inaugurated under the moniker of the Catholic Youth Organization. Beginning in 1965, these two relatively new ministries, laymen's retreats and youth ministry, combined in the Archdiocese of Boston in a series of retreats known as the SEARCH for Christian Maturity. Under Monsignor Robert McNeill's guidance, the retreats were offered to high school juniors and seniors, and a second program, Overnight, was offered to freshman and sophomores. The retreats became mainstays for Boston high school students' spiritual development for two decades. This specific outreach to youth prepared leaders for the Boston Church in the latter twentieth century and beyond.
灵修与事工:天主教青年组织在波士顿大主教管区的静修,1965-1985
摘要:虽然几个世纪以来,精神静修一直是天主教神职人员和宗教生活的一部分,但这种集中祈祷和反思的专门时间直到20世纪才成为俗人的规范。大约在同一时间,以天主教青年组织的名义成立了专门向青少年提供服务的青年部。从1965年开始,这两个相对较新的事工,平信徒退修会和青年事工,在波士顿大主教管区合并成一系列的退修会,被称为寻求基督徒的成熟。在罗伯特·麦克尼尔主教的指导下,这些静修活动面向高中三年级和四年级学生,另一个名为“过夜”的项目面向一年级和二年级学生。二十年来,静修成为波士顿高中生精神发展的主要支柱。这种对青年的特别接触为波士顿教会在二十世纪后期及以后的领袖们做了准备。
