Catechetical Ministry to Hispanic Communities

The Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston is enriched by a diverse group of vibrant Hispanic cultures from around the world.  The Office of Evangelization and Catechesis works collaboratively with the Office for Hispanic Ministry to provide support, resources, and advocacy for catechists and catechetical leaders.

Programs in support of catechetical ministry to Hispanic Communities:

Formación para el Ministerio Cristiano

Liderazgo Servicial
A five-part series offered twice a year for ministry leaders
The ministry of adult faith formation is fundamental to the mission of the Church, and the most important factor is the formation of the leader. Therefore, for these leaders to successfully fulfill their role, they must acquire specific skills and competencies for servant leadership. This program is open to anyone who holds a leadership role in their parish, whether as a group leader, coordinator, director, or group leader.  To learn the dates for our next Liderazgo Servicial session, contact Adrian Herrera at [email protected]
