VI: Catholic Social Thought in Action: Service-Learning and Reflection

Panelists:

Maria G. Arroyo, MTS, PCAC, works for Catholic Relief Services as part of the West regional office working on education and formation on Catholic social teaching and global solidarity. Before coming to CRS, Maria served as a parish pastoral agent, youth/university minister and taught religion in primary schools. She also taught classes and workshops on Youth Ministry, Catechetical Methodology, the Sacraments and Spirituality through the Institute of Pastoral Ministry of the Diocese of Orange. Maria earned her M.A. in Theological Studies from Loyola Marymount University and recently completed an M.A. in Pastoral Care and Counseling from the University of San Diego, and is a Certified Spiritual Director from the Center of Christian Spirituality at USD.

Michael Lovette-Colyer, MDiv, MBA, serves as the Director of University Ministry at the University of San Diego. In that role, he is most passionate about helping undergraduate students to ask the big questions regarding how they will live authentically, guided by a sense of vocation, while offering their gifts in service of the world. Prior to his two years at USD, Michael spent eight years working on behalf of Santa Clara University in the office of Campus Ministry and the Ignatian Center for Jesuit Education. While at SCU, Michael directed the DISCOVER Project, a university-wide initiative funded by the Lily-Endowment designed to engage the university community in the theological exploration of vocation. For his dissertation, Michael is interested in researching the impact of community-based learning and immersion experiences on undergraduate students, as well as how those experiences communicate institutional values.
