When Latino/Hispanic parishioners begin La justicia brota de la fe: Formación en la fe y en la Doctrina Social de la Iglesia this fall in the Diocese of Stockton they will be well prepared. Twenty two of the twenty-five parishes that will use La justicia brota de la fe participated in the training workshops held September 3-5.
Manuel Hernandez of RENEW International’s Pastoral Services Team led the six workshops held at three sites throughout the diocese. The majority of the 225 participants were small community leaders who will be facilitating the faith-sharing sessions, and Manuel described them as enthusiastic and energetic. He said he was particularly impressed with members of St. Joseph Parish, Mammouth Lakes, who drove more than five hours for the training.
