Survey shows 28% of U.S. parishes have Spanish-language Masses
A first-of-its-kind study by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) shows that 28% of parishes in the country offer Spanish-language Masses.
This number suggests a rise in the number of U.S. Catholic parishes offering Spanish-language Masses over the last 10 years.
Alejandro Aguilera-Titus, assistant director of Hispanic Affairs in the USCCB’s Secretariat of Cultural Diversity in the Church, said in a statement that the survey “reflects the dedication of our dioceses to Hispanic and Latino communities.”
He called the results of the survey “heartening” because it shows a “widespread commitment to build a more integrated and united Catholic Church in the United States.”
