Timothy Matovina, a leading speaker and expert on the growth of Hispanics in the Catholic Church in the United States, offers a timely and much-needed introduction to ministry with Hispanic Catholics. Written in Spanish for pastoral ministers preparing for or involved in Hispanic ministry of all kinds, Ministerio hispano is an accessible guide to the history, spirituality, potential, and pastoral needs of Hispanics in the Church in America. More than 30 million people in the United States identify themselves as Catholic and Hispanic, according to the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate at Georgetown University. CARA also notes that Hispanic Catholics accounted for about 40 percent of all growth in parishes between 2005-2010. Drawing on his personal experience with Latino culture and decades of working with Hispanic parishes, Timothy Matovina--codirector of the Institute for Latino Studies at the University of Notre Dame--provides a basic introduction suitable for the variety of leaders working in Catholic parishes. This essential booklet explores five key dimensions of ministry with Hispanic Catholics: A brief history of Hispanic Catholics in the United States How Hispanics are transforming parishes The importance of apostolic movements such as Cursillo and Charismatic Renewal Liturgy, and popular devotion, especially to Mary Faith formation of children and young people With discussion and reflection questions and a key text from a Church document at the end of each chapter, the booklet is ideal for use in small-groups and formation programs. The book is available only in Spanish. Review A practical and accessible resource to reflect about Hispanic ministry in our faith communities. -- Hosffman Ospino, Assistant Professor of Hispanic Ministry and Religious Education, School of Theology and Ministry at Boston College In his apostolic exhortation, Evangelii Gaudium, the Holy Father links the reform of the Church with the renewal of missionary zeal. This theme goes to the heart of Dr. Matovinas thoughtful reflection on the tensions--creative and conflictive--that continue to make Hispanic ministry one of the most dynamic pastoral arenas in the United States. The themes of apostolic movements, popular religiosity, encuentro/encounter, and youth are on the mind of Pope Francis. These timely topics can still be found challenging and enlivening Hispanic parishes today. -- Most Rev. Jaime Soto, Bishop of Sacramento In order to serve in the best way possible the Catholic Hispanic community in the United States, we must know where we come from, our current reality, and where we are going. Timothy Matovina provides an excellent history of Latino Catholicism, teaches us the importance of parishes and apostolic movements serving Hispanic communities, and, moreover, motivates us to continue to build a new generation of missionary disciples. -- Andres Arango, Director of Evangelization, Diocese of Camden About the Author Timothy Matovina is professor and chair of the theology department at the University of Notre Dame, where he previously served as codirector of the Institute for Latino Studies.
