Parish Table Talk

  • Five Keys to Developing Stewardship in the Hispanic Community: On Oct. 14 at the Hispanic Conference at St. John’s, Columbia, Luis Soto (read about him in The Denver Catholic) 0f the Catholic Leadership Institute, explained why we need to:
    1. Understand the Hispanic presence in all areas of parish life.
    2. Let stewardship flow from ministry with Hispanics, who want to serve others.
    3. Affirm the values in Hispanic cultures that support a spirituality of stewardship.
    4. Develop a strong sense of belonging as the good soil of stewardship.
    5. Educate our Hispanic community in simple, relatable ways, since “stewardship” doesn’t translate well.
