Curso
de Hispanidad 2012 booklet
The Curso
de Hispanidad pursues two goals:
The Curso responds to the growing needs for priests who
can pastorally connect with their Hispanic communities. The Curso provides
the necessary tools:effective communication in Spanish, familiarity with Latino culture,
and clarity in how to integrate the potential of Hispanic
faith at the parish level. Every activity in the course
is oriented to this goal, so that even times of
rest, meals, and outings are opportunities for learning and practicing
Spanish.
The Curso seeks
to offer a program rich in priestly spirituality. The day
is framed by the celebration of the Eucharist and community
vespers. Fraternity, personal and community prayer and sport opportunities are
designed to make this summer experience a true time of
rest and renewal.
