Important report on Hispanic Catholics, and ministry to them, released

The summary report of the National Study of Catholic Parishes with Hispanic Ministry...given that Hispanic/Latino Catholics in the USA constitute 25% of all Catholics, this is a summary well worth reading, with suggestions for pastoral ministry at the end. This report is the result of an extensive three year research project between CARA and Boston College. Meet your Church and enjoy!
