Centro Semillero Offers Two Master’s Programs and Endless Possibilities

Houston, Texas, April 13, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — You may have heard the motto, “Those who dare to teach must never cease to learn.” This principle strongly applies to two Houston-area educators who, through Centro Semillero at University of St. Thomas-Houston (UST), have confirmed their callings as teachers and fortified their faith. Moreover, they are applying the academic program’s four pillars — kindness, discipline, knowledge, and community — to everything they do.

Angel de Jesus Garcia, Current Master’s Student

One of them is Angel de Jesus Garcia, a college advisor at Houston Independent School District and currently enrolled in Centro Semillero’s Master of Sacred Scriptures Program.

“When my friends told me that St. Thomas was about to launch a master’s degree program in Spanish, I went to orientation and decided to give it try,” Garcia said. “That’s how I became part of the first generation of Spanish-speaking theology students, and I thank God for that decision.”

Garcia made this decision because it perfectly supported both his profession as an educator and his after-work role as a leader at his parish’s youth ministry where he attends pastoral meetings, plans retreats, and creates Christian formation programs.

About Centro Semillero

Centro Semillero was created in 2019 as a graduate studies program in pastoral and biblical studies theology at the UST School of Humanities. Offered online and 100% in Spanish, Centro Semillero offers two postgraduate programs: a Master’s in Pastoral Theology and a Master’s in Sacred Scriptures.

“Centro Semillero,” according to its director Father Dempsey Rosales Acosta, “is inspired by the book of Proverbs 2:2-3 when fulfilling the invitation to incline our hearts to the understanding and study of God to grow in his love. Our center offers the opportunity to fulfill this goal of personal and professional growth by obtaining a postgraduate degree in pastoral or biblical studies at UST from the comfort of your home with our 100% online programs.”

Iris Lai Nayas, MAPT ‘21

For Iris Lai Nayas, a 9th-grade Spanish teacher at Pasadena Independent School District, and a graduate of the Pastoral Theology program in 2021, the concepts she learned have opened a door for dialogue with colleagues from other religions.

Nayas said, “The program has helped me find pastoral strategies for interacting with my colleagues, who are not necessarily Catholic. The strategies enable me to dialogue with all of my colleagues and live experiences of faith without losing the essence of mine.”

Most importantly, the program has made her realize that through her interactions with her students and peers, she can be a testament to God’s presence.

“Today, schools they have taken God out of the classroom but thanks to this program, I understand that God has never been outside, and it is up to me to present him, through values, justice, love, prudence, prayer, and faith,” adds Nayas.

Thanks to her graduate degree, Nayas is also a facilitator in the Small Communities of Salt and Light of Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers.

Minister suggests people leave earlier for exodus to avoid congestion

Jakarta (ANTARA) – Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture Muhadjir Effendy suggested people to leave for the Eid al-Fitr exodus earlier to reduce the potential of traffic congestion during the journey.”The community is appealed to leave for the Eid exodus earlier to reduce the potential of congestion and to be more comfortable during the journey,” he stated here on Thursday.

The minister noted that a 20-percent cut in fees on several toll roads will be applicable for Eid travelers leaving and returning early.

“This discount is a gift for those who decide to leave early for the exodus. The dates have been set and certain,” he remarked.

He pointed out that several toll roads offering the 20-percent discount are the Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road operated by state-owned toll road operator PT Jasa Marga, Cikupa-Merak Toll Road operated by PT Marga Mandalasakti, and Bakauheni-Kayu Agung Toll Road operated by PT Hutama Karya.

The discount is applied during the Eid exodus departure period on April 16-18 and during the return period on April 26-27.

The minister remarked that the addition of rest areas at several points and the widening of roads at entry gates to rest areas have also been prepared to provide comfort to the exodus travelers.

“Congestion in rest areas that causes the traffic on toll roads to be disrupted also receives special attention, reflecting last year’s conditions. Thus, the solutions are adding rest areas at several points and widening roads at entry gates to rest areas,” he explained.

Effendy noted that the number of people joining the 2023 Eid exodus is projected to reach 123 million, an increase from 85 million in 2022.

PSSI, BPJS Ketenagakerjaan provide social protection to referees

Referees have become (one of) my concerns in building a decent Indonesian football (ecosystem).

Jakarta (ANTARA) – The Indonesian Football Association (PSSI) is collaborating with the Workers Social Security Program (BPJS Ketenagakerjaan) to provide social security to all referees who have served in Indonesia’s League 1 and League 2.President Director of BPJS KetenagakerjaanAnggoro Eko Cahyo and Chairperson of the PSSIErick Thohir symbolically handed over the membership cards of the program to the representatives of referees at the headquarters of the State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) Ministry here on Thursday.

“Referees have become (one of) my concerns in building a decent Indonesian football (ecosystem). Hence, (improving) the welfare (of the referees) is crucial by making the referees participants of BPJS Ketenagakerjaan,” he remarked in a statement.

He said he expects that BPJS Ketenagakerjaan, as part of social protection, can help the referees if they experience work accidents, or ease the burden on their family if they pass away on duty.

Meanwhile, the president director of BPJS Ketenagakerjaan said that all workers have the right to receive protection.

“It proves that the government strives to protect all citizens, especially workers. Moreover, the profession of a referee is very prone to (experiencing) work accidents both on and off the field. Thus, naturally, they need social security from BPJS Ketenagakerjaan,” he remarked.

The benefits provided by BPJS Ketenagakerjaan for referees are work accident insurance (JKK) and death compensation (JKM).

Hence, if a referee has an accident while supervising a match, BPJS Ketenagakerjaan will bear all the costs of treatment until they recover.

If during the recovery period, the referee is still unable to work, BPJS Ketenagakerjaan will pay 100 percent of their wages during the first year and then 50 percent the next year until they fully recover and are able to work.

PSSI and BPJS Ketenagakerjaan have also joined hands to ensure that all sports actors, including players, supporters, as well as officials from associations, leagues, and clubs can be protected by the worker’s social security program in the future.

“Hopefully, our collaboration can improve the welfare of the referees and all other workers in the PSSI’s ecosystem, thus they can work hard without any worry (about security) and contribute to improving the quality of Indonesian football,” Cahyo added.
