The pastoral landscape of the Church and society has experienced seismic shifts this year, amid the continuing unfolding of the triple crises of the pandemic, the call for racial justice, and the continuing impact of global climate change. Our people are searching for ways to respond to these great challenges with limited resources. The national team is providing this virtual event for the dioceses that participated in the V Encuentro process.
The purpose of this national event is:
ā¢ complete the 6th Milestone of the V Encuentro process,
ā¢ celebrate the fruits of the V Encuentro and our Catholic faith,
ā¢ help dioceses and organizations identify, create, or fine-tune their pastoral responses at the local level and
ā¢ contribute to the articulation of a new plan for Hispanic / Latino ministry.
