The Hispanic Ministry began in December 2013. The Ministry consists of Latino parishioners from Mexico, Peru, Guatemala and San Salvador and possible other countries as well as parishioners from St. Ann Parish. The Mission of the Hispanic Ministry is to assist the Latino adults and children to become fluent with Catholic religious practices in order for them to be fully enrolled in the sacramental communion of the Catholic Church. We provide opportunities for our Latino parishioners to attend Mass and receive religious education for the Sacraments. The group meets on Tuesdays, starting with confessions at 5:30pm, Mass at 6:00pm in Spanish, followed by a social or formation meeting in the gym at 7:00pm.
