Target Population

This organization is particularly tailored to focus on supporting, mentoring, and developing diocesan, parish catechetical leaders, catechetical organizations and groups who will or are ministering to Hispanics, including those who do not speak Spanish or are not ethnically Hispanics.

Leadership Structure

Structure of the FCH leadership team: President, Vice President, Secretary, Finance Officer, Membership Officer, Technology/Communications Officer, and Fund Development/Grant Writing Officer, Formation Office, and Advance Officer (All leadership positions are volunteers).

Approach

Our programs seek to provide professional, theological, and cultural context development for all who serve Hispanics in the catechetical arena. FCH seeks to provide a space where they can: network with other leaders, exchange ideas, organize collaborative efforts, and come together to pray and nurture oneself.

Objectives for partnership

We will enhance the mission of the church in the United States by providing a venue to help reach the growing Hispanic population. We will partner and collaborate with other non-profits and catechetical based organizations to ensure the ministerial effectiveness of its members in their service to the Catholic Church through the interchange of ideas and mutual support that is inclusive and sensitive of the needs of the Hispanics. 

FCH will address this need by advocating for catechesis with Hispanics as a vehicle to form and inform diocesan, parish catechetical leaders and others to both witness to and provide tools to form disciples. FCH advocates for understanding the use of common language, better resources, and effective models for bilingual and intergenerational catechesis, formation of diocesan and parish leaders by promoting inclusion, collaboration, networking, solidarity, cultural fluency, and mentoring.
