Catholic Latino Youth

latinoweb Think of this as “Tuesdays with Morrie Lynette:”

Over at this blog, she will be posting findings every Tuesday from the research of the Catholic Latino Youth and Parents Project. This project is lead by the Research and Resource Center of Instituto Fe y Vida and is being funded by the Lilly Endowment Inc.  The goal is to create a set of bilingual formation programs and resources for youth ministry leaders and for Latino parents and teenagers.  They have just completed the first phase of this project which was to conduct several focus groups across the country with parents, teens and youth ministry leaders in order to identify the strengths and challenges present in the Latino community.

  1. Bilingual materials would be a welcome, wonderful resource. It has been a complaint of many youth ministers in Texas, including myself, about the lack of adequate bilingual resources that enable us to reach out better to parents whom only speak Spanish. At present, we frequently have to translate our own materials. I would hope the materials also take into account some cultural aspects of various Latino cultures.
