The Director of Hispanic Ministries works collaboratively with our clergy, pastoral staff, and leadership teams to engage Latino youth, young adults, and families with children in the life of the Church, forming them as disciples. Situated in historic Salem, MA, our parish has embraced the mission of offering hospitality and healing to all, as our main channels of evangelization. As a parish, we strive to reach out to those who are dis- or un-affiliated from church and to form our parishioners to be missionary disciples. We strive to be a parish that ministers in person and online. Our candidate must be proficient in using technology tools to minister online as in person.
MQOA’s discipleship pathway is a spiritual growth strategy designed to help adults, at whatever their stage of faith, to constantly progress toward lives of discipleship. The primary responsibility is to adapt the MQOA Discipleship Path to families with children and youth, and young adults, developing our parish’s platform for outreach and engagement online. MQOA serves a large population of Hispanics, primarily from the Dominican Republic. The candidate must be a practicing
Catholic, possess a deep sense of the evangelizing and healing mission of our parish, the importance of outreach in the Church with immigrants of first and second generation, and experience in attending to the pastoral and social needs of Hispanics in the US.
