PLEASE KEEP POSTED FOR INFORMATION REGARDING THE RESCHEDULING OF THIS WORKSHOP.
Hispanic and Latino youth have been the subject of conversation for a long time. They are a vibrant part of many parish communities and noticeably missing in others. Over the last few decades, the Church has made strides in its accompaniment of Hispanic/Latino youth, but there is still much work left to be done. The changing profile of Hispanic/Latino youth makes the opportunities and challenges related to ministering to them different in every community. Even within one community, the needs of second- and third-generation Hispanic/Latino youth are different and have significant implications for the Church’s pastoral work. Join the conversation as Angel Barrera shares practical implications for ministry with Hispanic youth and families.
