Archbishop Chaput Addresses Latino Catholic Leaders on Their Urgent Mission

I believe that the future of the Catholic Church, as a vehicle of grace and salvation in the United States, is going to depend heavily on the good work of the Catholic Association of Latino Leaders.  Archbishop Chaput said of the organization’s mission (which he and Los Angeles’ new auxiliary Bishop Jose Gomez helped launch in Denver in 2006) that it is to “bring the reality of the Catholic Latino culture to the American culture.”

California Catholic Daily reports: The CALL annual members meeting opened on Friday evening, July 23, with a greeting from Archbishop Chaput. “In my 22 years as a bishop, being part of CALL has been — and still is — one of the important and enjoyable tasks I’ve had,” the Archbishop of Denver wrote. “The leadership of Archbishop Gomez has been outstanding; without his vision and guidance, CALL would not exist.” Full report is here.
