Pastoral Juvenil Hispana

The Pastoral Juvenil ministry recognizes the large number of young Hispanics in our diocese and seeks to reach out to them in a culturally and linguistically sensitive fashion.  Pastoral Juvenil is dedicated to being a source for Spanish and bilingual resources, events, retreats, workshops, and leadership development for Hispanic youth and young adults. 

Consequently, Pastoral Juvenil collaborates with the Hispanic Ministry office as well as other regional and national Hispanic associations and events. For example:  Our diocese participates in SEPI’s, the regional office of Hispanic Ministry’s, book writing and leadership workshops for young adults and our diocese is a member of La Red, the National Catholic Network for Hispanic Youth and Young Adult Ministry. In addition, Pastoral Juvenil strives to support the development of Hispanic youth and young adult groups in parishes as the need for such an outreach is identified and to help build bridges between young Hispanics and the parish communities at large.
