"The Church is called to be the house of the Father, with doors always wide open." - Pope Francis, The Joy of the Gospel In this groundbreaking nationwide study of Hispanic ministries in U.S. parishes, Dr. Hosffman Ospino describes not only the reality of the Church in the United States today, but the Church it is becoming. With 40 percent of the Catholic population in the United States claiming Hispanic roots, and the possibility that this population could triple in the next 35 years, Ospino makes clear that the vitality of our Church in the 21st century depends in large part on our embrace of this growing Hispanic presence. He documents the obstacles that threaten this vitality, and describes the opportunities that await us if we open our doors wide to the richly diverse communities that comprise Hispanic Catholicism. "Dr. Ospino's study is a must-read for every diocesan office and every parish in this country. The challenge of this transformation he describes is to be welcomed, not feared, for it will ultimately enrich all of us as Catholics and be a blessing for our entire nation." -- Greg Erlandson, President and Publisher, Our Sunday Visitor

The Hispanic presence in the Church in the United States is profoundly reshaping the direction and character of Catholicism in this country. As we reach the end of the first decade of the twenty-first century, nearly half the Catholic population is Hispanic and it is estimated that by 2050 Latinos/as will constitute the vast majority of U.S. Catholics. Hispanic Catholics as a group bring abundant gifts to the Church in the United States yet together face many challenges.As the century unfolds, the achievements and struggles of Hispanic Catholics will be undoubtedly perceived as those of the whole Church in the U.S. Hosffman Ospino brings an edited collection of essays written by leading voices in the field of ministry and theology that explore the present and future of Catholic Hispanic Ministry. The essays were crafted as study documents for a national symposium on this topic and were edited for further reflection in ministerial and academic contexts. This Book offers an important contribution to understand the future character of Catholicism in the U.S.
