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.

Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Coordinating Ministry for Human Development and Culture has called for an increase in the dissemination of information on the benefits of exclusive breastfeeding to support the growth and development of children."Regional governments and relevant ministries and agencies need to continue to increase the dissemination of information regarding exclusive breastfeeding," the ministry's Assistant Deputy for Nutritional Security and Health Promotion Jelsi Natalia Marampa stated in Bogor, West Java, on Thursday.

Marampa made the statement at the Deputy Meet the Press event that raised the theme of "Super Priority Programs in Human Development and Culture."

Marampa explained that breastmilk has essential nutrients that are important to meet the nutritional needs of babies.

"Exclusive breastfeeding can also support efforts to reduce stunting prevalence because exclusive breastmilk has many important nutrients that are very good for supporting nutritional security and children's health," she stated.

Marampa also said that her ministry encourages regional governments to intensify strategies for accelerating stunting reduction to realize healthy and productive human resources.

"Regarding stunting handling, regional governments can use Presidential Regulation Number 72 of 2021 on Stunting Reduction Acceleration as a guideline," she remarked.

She further called on the need for regional governments to continue to boost the dissemination of information on the importance of animal proteins in fulfilling the nutritional needs of children to support their growth and development.

"What is most important is to also support efforts to prevent stunting," she emphasized.

Marampa said that her ministry, along with the Ministry of Health, encourages all relevant ministries and agencies to jointly conduct a campaign on eating a balanced diet, especially foods rich in animal proteins, as part of the efforts to prevent stunting.

She noted that the campaign and dissemination of information aim to spread information and promote the importance of eating a balanced diet for pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, and under-five children to support efforts to accelerate the reduction of stunting.

Indonesia's stunting prevalence in 2022 declined by 2.8 percentage points to 21.6 percent, from 24.4 percent in 2021, based on the 2022 Indonesian Nutritional Status Survey (SSGI).

Meanwhile, the Indonesian government is aiming to reduce the stunting prevalence to 14 percent by 2024.
