With the support of Bishop Mitchell Rozanski, the Division of Youth and Young Adult Ministry launched the Archdiocese of Baltimore's Hispanic Young Adult Strategic Plan.  The document is in both English and Spanish and it is meant to help create a greater collaboration between young Hispanics (ages 18-35) and the Church.  Featured in the Plan are recommendations of how young Hispanics can become "active agents of evangelization" in their parish communities.

Con el apoyo del Obispo Mitchell Rozanski, la División de Jóvenes lanzo el Plan Estratégico para el Ministerio de Jóvenes Adultos Hispanos.  Este documento está en ingles y en español y fue hecho para ayudar a crear mayor colaboración entre los jóvenes hispanos (entre 18 y 35 años de edad) y la Iglesia.  El Plan contiene recomendaciones sobre como los jóvenes hispanos pueden convertirse en "agentes activos de la evangelización" en sus comunidades parroquiales.

Next Steps:

• Regional meetings: Plan has been presented to pastors, pld's, and other parish leaders at the regional meetings by the planning committee representatives, Sr. Jude Cianfrogna, Pastoral Associate at Sacred Heart Parish in Glyndon and Georgina Vaca, Archdiocesan Coordinator of Hispanic Young Adult and Youth Ministry.  Pastoral leaders have been asked to: 1) Read the plan, 2) Identify parish liaisons, and 3) Call forth young adult leadership.  The plan can be used as a framework for all young adult ministry.  View the Powerpoint presented at the regional meetings.
