This is the first time that a comprehensive national study focuses solely on Catholic parishes with Hispanic ministry. In the early 1980s it was estimated that 15 percent of all Catholic parishes served Hispanic Catholics, mostly in Spanish. Hispanics constituted about 25 percent of the entire Catholic population in the United States. Three decades later, when Hispanic Catholics are about 40 percent of the approximately 78 million Catholics in the country, 25 percent of all Catholic parishes intentionally serve Hispanics. Catholic parishes with Hispanic ministry constitute a very important portion of the U.S. Catholic experience that needs to be better studied and understood.

The Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate (CARA) distributed an invitation to respond to the worship site inventory to 15,404 sites by email, 2,126 sites by fax, and 2,345 sites by mail beginning in June 2017. Multiple rounds of follow-up were performed by CARA and PCMRT. Ninety-five percent of respondents chose to provide their information to CARA through an online survey. Five percent returned their responses by paper. These paper responses were then entered into the online database by CARA researchers. Data collection ended in November 2020. Overall, 2,391 worship sites responded.

This report examines health burdens borne by farmworkers from a public health perspective and outlines critical interventions, opportunities and challenges to advance reform. Researchers reviewed evidence from the scientific literature published between January 2016 and January 2020 on occupational hazards and social conditions that affect farmworker communities, and incorporate the voices of advocates, labor organizers, and other stakeholders throughout the report.

The report explores the attitudes, values, social behaviors, family characteristics, economic well-being, educational attainment and labor force outcomes of these young Latinos. It is based on a new Pew Hispanic Center telephone survey of a nationally representative sample of 2,012 Latinos, supplemented by the Center’s analysis of government demographic, economic, education and health data sets.

Catholicism in the United States, from its very beginnings, has been shaped by the experiences of millions of immigrants and their descendants. New voices bring hope, fresh energy, and challenges that often require adjustments on the part of our ecclesial structures. In the 1800s and early 1900s, immigrants from Europe made incredible contributions to the American Catholic experience, particularly through Catholic schools. Today, immigrants and their children, mostly from Latin America but also from Asia and Africa, are transforming that experience. This is a unique opportunity for U.S. Catholics in the twenty-first century to reimagine the commitment to Catholic education in an increasingly Hispanic Church while building upon the best of our experiences and resources.

Hispanic Catholics have developed a vision of ministry inspired by the social and ecclesiological context of the Second Vatican Council in the United States and in Latin America. This vision is articulated in the Pastoral Plan as a model of Church that seeks to strengthen communion and participation with a strong emphasis on evangelization, social justice, and the integral education of the faithful.
