V Encuentro

The process of Encuentro for Hispanic/Latino ministry has been deeply ecclesial.  It is motivated by reading the signs of the times and convened by the bishops, who call the Hispanic/Latino community to raise their voices.  In the context of this dialogue among the bishops and the community, we live a spirit of pastoral ministry illuminated by an ecclesiological communion and missionary vocation that seeks to reach out to those who find themselves estranged from the life and vision of the Church.  The main objective of the process of the Encuentro is to discern the way in which Hispanics/Latinos respond as Church.

In the Diocese of Victoria diocesan delegates are in the process of teaching the Encuentro process to a small group of parish appointed delegates. They will then begin the implementation and formation of the program in our diocese by training larger parish teams.

We want to thank the parishes who have already responded so positively to our work with V Encuentro.
