Do you want to know how your congregation can connect with your Latino/Hispanic neighbors? Join the diocesan Latino + Immigration Ministries and presenter, Karla Sikaffy duPlantier, Interim Latina Missioner from the Presiding Bishop's Office of The Episcopal Church, on Friday, October 16 and Saturday, October 17 for a two-day learning event in San Antonio.

New Camino is an Episcopal program for clergy, vestry and lay leaders that explores the changing face, cultural backgrounds, interests and needs of Latino/a communities, while also welcoming, serving, and involving them in our Congregational Life and Ministry.

The seminar challenges the preconceived and incorrect notions, held by many, that Latinos are a homogeneous community, which is largely Spanish-speaking and of immigrant status. Participants will be invited to explore the various Latino ministry models necessary to reach the traditional Spanish-speaking, immigrant and first-generation Latinos, as well as the increasingly English dominant and acculturated Hispanic/Latino population of second, third and later generations.
