Annual Hispanic Ministry Renewal Day
Día de formación y crecimiento para líderes pastorales
As part of its commitment to forming creative and transformative leaders who take seriously the challenges and opportunities of serving in culturally diverse contexts, the School of Theology and Ministry offers an exciting curriculum in Hispanic Theology and Ministry. Our programs prepare pastoral leaders, academics, educators and other professionals to serve the needs of a fast-growing Hispanic Catholic population in the United States. These programs offer our entire academic community the opportunity to engage leading U.S. Hispanic and Latin American theological voices as part of their formation. Boston College has one of the largest concentrations of Hispanic and Latin American theologians teaching in one institution in the country who bring truly enriching perspectives on research, teaching and mentorship.
Mindful that nearly 45 percent of all Catholics in the United States self-identify as Hispanic/Latino, our research, academic programs and educational practices are at the forefront of the conversation on how to serve ministerially and think theologically in an increasingly Hispanic church.
Qualified lay applicants, Hispanic and non-Hispanic, who demonstrate a clear commitment to Hispanic ministry and theology, and who intend to work with Hispanic communities after completing their studies, are eligible for at least a 75% tuition scholarship. Scholarships are awarded based on merit, promise and availability.
