Formation Day for Spanish-speaking Catholics focuses on Discipleship

July 29, 2019 at 12:37 p.m.


What does it mean to truly be a disciple of Christ? What are the characteristics of a disciple? Discipleship certainly is not easy, but with guidance and formation, we are all called to give our best attempt.

On Nov. 19, from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. in the gymnasium of St. Mary of the Assumption Cathedral, the diocesan Department of Pastoral Planning invites all to an event offering some of that guidance and formation.

The main presenter will be theologian and faith educator Cruz Teresa Rosero, who is visiting from the Diocese of Brooklyn, where she serves in its pastoral institute. Rosero has a master’s degree in both theology and education and regularly teaches courses in theology to Hispanic Catholic adults in her home diocese and across the country. Rosero will explore the meaning of discipleship from diverse perspectives and will challenge participants to take what they learn and put it into practice.

The Spanish-language formational event is open to all those who wish to take a more active role in ministry in their parishes and communities. For more information, contact Sandra López, coordinator for diocesan Hispanic ministry initiatives, at 609-403-7138 or [email protected]. Prior registration is required. The $10 donation for the event can be paid Nov. 19 and includes a light breakfast and lunch.
