An essential resource for parish ministry offices, especially in churches where there is a Hispanic presence. This bilingual pastoral statement builds on the 1987 National Pastoral Plan for Hispanic Ministry in light of the New Evangelization, Ecclesia in America, and Encuentro 2000. Encuentro and Mission provides pastoral principles, priorities, and suggested actions to develop ministry further among Hispanics while calling them to leadership in a culturally diverse Church. Developed by the Committee on Hispanic Affairs.
