The Mission of the Hispanic Ministry Office is to reach out in a spirit of welcome and inclusion to the Hispanic families in our diocese to provide, through cooperation with other diocesan offices and parish pastoral teams,
a full array of pastoral programs and services. By making available material, educational, and spiritual resources that are culturally sensitive and bilingual, the Latino community will be encouraged to grow more fully as members of the Body of Christ, cooperating themselves as healing and transforming agents of God’s love in our Church and in the world.
