Alejandro's Message

Dear friends, It was a pleasure to see so many of you in St. Louis for the 25th Anniversary celebration of the National Catholic Association of Diocesan Directors of Hispanic Ministry (NCADDHM). Diocesan directors, coordinatiors and key leaders play a key role in the local process for the V Encuentro.  We are excited that the majority of dioceses throughout the country have diocesan teams in place and are ready for the V Encuentro.  We are grateful for your leadership and we are here to provide support and assistance. The next step in preparing for the V Encuentro is ensuring that pastors and priests in your dioceses receive the appropriate information about the V Encuentro and that they are invited to participate. To support you in this endeavor, we have prepared a packet for pastors and priests and resources can be downloaded here. The packet will also be emailed to you so that you can send to pastors from your diocesan office. Many dioceses have already offered an orientation of the V Encuentro to their pastors and priest. This is a great idea as is allows pastors the opportunity to ask questions about the formation of their V Encuentro Parish Teams. We also offer our congratulations to NCCHM, the National Catholic Council for Hispanic Ministry, as they also celebrated their 25th Anniversary. It was an honor to be present for such and occasion and we are grateful to have been given the opportunity to offer a panel on  the V Encuentro. Blessings to all of you and please contact us if you have any questions, Alejandro Aguilera-Titus Director of the V Encuentro Assistant Director of the Secretariat for Cultural Diversity in the Church USCCB 2016 © ENAVE.
