Mexican-American Catholics
Mexican-American Catholics is the third book in the Paulist Press Pastoral Spirituality Series, following Vietnamese-American Catholics by Peter C. Phan and American Eastern Catholics by Fred J. Saato. Author Fr. Fernández presents the history of Christianity in Mexico via Spain, the conditions of Mexican Catholics in America, and the challenges facing Mexican-American Catholics, as well as suggestions on how to meet them. Pastoral strategies for assisting Mexican-American Catholics in becoming more active members of the church are included, as is an extensive bibliography.
¡Presente!
Through dozens of original documents ¡Presente! offers readers the story of Latino/Hispanic Catholicism from 1534 to the present. From the first mission encounters in the sixteenth century, to Cesar Chavez and the UFW, to the beginnings of mujerista theology in the 1980s, this collection offers a unique and indispensable look at the community that has become the largest ethnic component in the American Catholic Church today.
Hispanics in the Church
Hispanics make up approximately one-third of the members of the Catholic Church in the United States today and are expected to constitute one half of the U.S. Catholic population in the twenty-first century. What is their position and role in the Catholic church today, and what will it be tomorrow? This new collection explores the past, present and possible future status of the Hispanics in the Catholic church in the United States. Introduced by Philip Lampe, it contains articles by leading scholars Tarcisio Beal, Juan Romero, Yolanda Tarango and Timothy Matovina, documenting issues of crucial importance to the development of the church: the composition of the Catholic Hispanic population, the practice of religion among Hispanics, the role of Hispanics in the Catholic church, Mexican American priests, Las Hermanas, and the role of Virgin of Guadalupe in Hispanic Catholicism.

Hispanic Catholic Culture in the U.S.
This volume continues where Volumes I and II left off, but, unlike these, it is organised according to key issues that cut across nationalities, regions and generations. The concluding essay synthesises the various interdisciplinary approaches that the book presents.
The History of the National Encuentros
Fifty years after the closing of the Second Vatican Council, the Catholic Church began its implementation with the creation of consultative bodies at all levels of the church. This book examines the response of Hispanic American Catholics to the spirit of the Second Vatican Council. In the early 70's the Catholic bishops of the United States saw the need to address the growing Hispanic presence in the church. The concern of the bishops was to look for ways on how to integrate Hispanic Americans into the life of the church so that they could offer a process of integration, communion, and participation in the one Catholic Church of the United States. American priests working in the inner city ...
The Shared Parish
As faith communities in the United States grow increasingly more diverse, many churches are turning to the shared parish, a single church facility shared by distinct cultural groups who retain their own worship and ministries. The fastest growing and most common of these are Catholic parishes shared by Latinos and white Catholics. Shared parishes remain one of the few institutions in American society that allows cultural groups to maintain their own language and customs while still engaging in regular intercultural negotiations over the shared space. This book explores the shared parish through an in-depth ethnographic study of a Roman Catholic parish in a small Midwestern city demographical...
