About Us

Ensuring the full immersion and integration of our vast, diverse, and growing multicultural population into the life of our local church is essential. By working in solidarity and through a “pastoral de conjunto” with clergy, lay ecclesial ministers, and others to cultivate understanding, respect, and acceptance of the rich ethnic heritages present in central Florida, we increase each’s support and participation on all levels of parish leadership while strengthening the principles of inculturation among all Catholics in the Diocese of Orlando.
