The Diocesan Hispanic Commission consists primarily of lay members from all areas of the diocese. Its purpose is to assist the Bishop and his staff by informing them of concerns and needs of Spanish-speaking Catholics throughout the diocese. They also exist to promote greater services and outreach for Spanish-speaking Catholics, especially in areas where there is no presence of Spanish-speaking Catholic ministers.
