Encouraging vocation culture in Hispanic families.

This article explores the growing presence of Hispanic families within the Catholic Church in the United States and the importance of supporting and understanding their unique needs and challenges. With Hispanics making up a significant portion of the Catholic population, it is crucial to recognize the diversity and complexity within this community, including the influence of extended family, poverty, and migration. The article calls for Catholic leaders to actively engage with and support Hispanic families in fostering a culture of vocation, highlighting the role of immigrant pastoral leaders and the need to focus on U.S.-born Hispanics, develop leaders from within the community, and increase access to Catholic education. The author encourages dialogue and action to better serve the Hispanic Catholic community. [Extracted from the article]
