You can't talk about the Catholic Church in the United States without talking about Latino Catholics. About half of the Catholic population in the United States is Latino, which includes U.S.-born Hispanics and about the one million Latino immigrants who arrive here each year. And very few people if any know more about U.S. Latino Catholicism than Professor Hosffman Ospino, an associate professor of Hispanic Ministry and Religious Education and the chair of the Department of Religious Education and Pastoral Ministry at Boston College's School of Theology and Ministry. Professor Ospino has led numerous research studies on Latino Catholics, including a brand-new report called “Ministry with Young Hispanic Catholics: Towards a Recipe for Growth and Success.” He's also an expert on evangelization and pastoral ministry. It's rare to find someone who's so strong in sociological research and theology. Host Mike Jordan Laskey asked Professor Ospino about current trends in U.S. Latino Catholicism and about what he learned in his recent study. They talked about the decreasing number of U.S. Latinos who identify as Catholic, which is a fact of deep concern to him and calls for fresh ministry approaches. His passion for ministry and his sharp intelligence come through every second of this interview.

Rev. Dr. Doris García-Rivera is former president of the Evangelical Seminary of Puerto Rico (ESPR). The private mainline Protestant seminary in Río Piedras was founded in 1919 by a group of theological schools and biblical institutes of the Protestant denominations that arrived on the island after the Spanish-American War. Nearly a century later, in 2014, Dr. García-Rivera became the first woman president in the history of ESPR. Today, she is Professor of Old Testament and Mission and Evangelism in the Certificate in Hispanic Ministries at Lexington Theological Seminary, where she also serves as Academic Coordinator for Pathways for Tomorrow Grant. In this episode of OP Talks, HTI Executive Director Rev. Joanne Rodríguez talks to Dr. García-Rivera about the women who inspire her and the experiences that shaped her. They discuss Dr. García-Rivera's commitment to service, including her experience of being a missionary in rural areas of Latin American, and how she braved long roads, floods, and landslides to reach those areas. Her experiences as a missionary helped prepare Dr. García-Rivera for the natural disasters to come in her native island of Puerto Rico. When Hurricane Maria hit in 2017, she did not think twice about getting into her Toyota Rav 4 and heading to the seminary, where Dr. García-Rivera had already been serving as president for three years. “Even in the midst of this situation,” she says “we really still have the grace of God and the mercy of God.” Dr. García-Rivera would bring the seminary back to life after the hurricane, collaborating with multiple institutions and volunteers, as well as promoting continuing education and improving the seminary's information technology infrastructure. “I understood being well meant that I must move forward to be the leader needed at that time.” Her spirited grandmother Monserrate influenced Dr. García-Rivera in big and small ways. “She was the main model for me because of her resilience,” says Dr. García-Rivera. After becoming a widow at a young age and losing a child at birth, Monserrate did everything in her power to give her remaining four children an education and to expand their possibilities. She washed and ironed shirts for a wealthy family and later worked in the kitchen of a public school until retirement. Dr. García-Rivera remembers her grandmother as always servicing others—with a plan in mind. “She was very small, but you could not dare defy her. She was a strong woman.”

Preaching for the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Elisabeth Roman offers a reflection on Mary's model of discipleship: "But it is Mary who truly inspires us to go forward in faith; to say yes to God each and every day, as we care for those suffering still from the COVID 19 pandemic, for those mourning the losses of family members; to care for the sick, the poor, and the elderly. And the migrants who come seeking new life and bring with them their families, faith, and love of God." Since 2014, Elisabeth Román has served as the president of the National Catholic Council for Hispanic Ministry, a national organization of Catholic organizations established in 1991 to promote Hispanic ministry through advocacy, education, networking and leadership development. She is the former director of the Office of Hispanic and Ethnic Ministries in the Diocese of Joliet. She has years of experience serving in ministry in the Archdiocese of Chicago, including working with the Archdiocesan V Encuentro Process, and as Managing Editor of the Hispanic Ministry Resource Center with Claretian Publications. Elisabeth collaborates and works with national Hispanic ministry leaders and organizations on projects and programs targeted towards Latinos and diversity in the Catholic church. Most recently she was the national chair of the Raices y Alas National Catholic Leadership Congress held in April 2022 in Washington DC, which gathered over 400 Catholic leaders from the US, Latin America, Europe, and the Vatican.

Ordained Minister Dennis Hall and his guest Sergio Barranco, Pastor of Hispanic Ministries at First Baptist Church, Highlands, North Carolina talk about the origin and true meaning of Thanksgiving Day, It seems more and more of the media refer to Thanksgiving Day as "turkey day. "Yet the Scripture refers to the concept of thanks 102 times in the Old Testament and 72 times in the New Testament. They discuss the many things that are miracles of God that we take for granted, from modern-day medical care and dentistry to heat, air conditioning, and running water in our homes. Both these pastors share events in their lives that brought them closer to Jesus. They end this podcast by acknowledging that on Thanksgiving Day God is not opposed to our feasting and gathering together with friends and family to dine, but if our only prayer is to ask God to bless our food, we are probably forgetting the real meaning of this day. Prayers of thanksgiving for the things that God has given us should be the focus of Thanksgiving Day.  Celebrate and don't leave God out of your Thanksgiving!

Today we need to be the new missionaries and disciples, the servants, and the leaders in today's hurt world. To go out like the 72 disciples that returned and rejoiced. Knowing that there will be challenges, but that in Jesus' name we can successfully complete the mission." Maria Luevano-Salazar was born in Zacatecas, Mexico.
