  • Identify resources, respond to the needs, promote the strengths, and overcome the weaknesses of Hispanic Ministry
  • Foster commitment to, and create awareness, of the meaning of the Hispanic presence in the United States of America among diocesan offices, parishes, schools, other institutions and community in general, through an effective, direct or mediated communication, positive testimony and fraternal participation
  • Represent the Diocese of Saginaw and serve as a liaison to regional and national offices for Hispanic Ministry
  • Coordinate and evaluate the Diocesan Pastoral Plan for Hispanic Ministry in parishes of the Diocese of Saginaw
