Hispanic Ministry Office

Contact Us / En Español

The Hispanic Ministry Office promotes and coordinates ministry to Hispanic Catholics in the Diocese of Little Rock, and provides leadership and resources to parishes in implementing the Diocesan Pastoral Plan for Hispanic Ministry. This is primarily done through the Hispanic movements in Arkansas. Although some have existed for many years, these movements began to work in union with the pastoral plan in 2011. They are called to the new evangelization in Arkansas and beyond, and are present in most of the parishes that offer Hispanic ministry. Thousands of Spanish-speaking Catholics take part in these movements under the authority of Bishop Anthony B. Taylor. This joining of forces gives witness and example of our Catholic faith. See programs in Arkansas below.

Catholic Charismatic Renewal

Catholic Charismatic Renewal (Renovación Carismática Católica) is an ecclesial movement recognized by the Vatican. It arises from the action of the Holy Spirit; an experience of Pentecost. It is a ministry for adults that invigorates the awareness of everything that Jesus revealed to us and evokes an enthusiastic response to live the faith of the Church.
