Course Description  

The three week course has been designed especially for bishops, priests, religious and laity who have an interest in serving Latinos and Hispanic ministry. Our program provides the student with the necessary skills to communicate in Spanish, knowledge of the Hispanic environment in daily life situations, and a pastoral dimension geared toward Hispanic ministry. For over 30 years, the course has successfully served bishops, priests, religious brothers and sisters, directors of religious education, and laity who serve the Church in very diverse ministries.

Program participants will reach a good level of Spanish language communication through the acquisition of basic language skills and grammar. Important vocabulary is taught based on the needs of common conversation and Hispanic pastoral work. Various cultural experiences as well as daily prayer and Eucharist are an integral part of the course. A study of the Hispanic presence in the United States and how Hispanic/Latino Ministry has developed over  the years is also a component of the program.
