Spanish Parishioner Workshop

Only 5% of priests identify as Hispanic. Those few priests are NOT nearly enough to minister to the Hispanic Catholics, who make up 39% of US Catholics. Laypeople in these communities are crucial to promoting priesthood, religious life, and sacramental marriage to their parishioners. Our workshop aims to assist Spanish-speaking laity to have vibrant parish vocation ministries.
