On January 2, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops posted English and Spanish editions of “Missionary Disciples Going Forth with Joy: National Plan for Hispanic/Latino Ministry,” a 62-page document approved by the bishops at their June meeting. The document has been available for purchase for several months.
“The Plan refers to Hispanics/Latinos as a blessing from God, as a missionary and prophetic presence that revitalizes the Church in the United States,” the USCCB notes.
“A few of these graces include an abiding love for family and community, a rich practice of Catholic traditions, an authentic Marian devotion, and vibrant ecclesial movements.”
