Church reaches out to Hispanics

But the church mentioned in the article is not Catholic...

Forty-four Hispanics gathered for a turkey dinner and fellowship the day after Thanksgiving at First Baptist Church of O'Fallon.

The event marked the first fruit of the labor of Patrick Regalado, who was hired as an associate pastor in October to start an Hispanic Ministry Center for the Greater St. Louis Area.

And most [of his Latino brothers], like Regalado, grew up in Roman Catholic homes. Some 90 percent of Latin America is Roman Catholic, he said.

Regalado was "born again" at age 18 after his father survived what a doctor had diagnosed as terminal cancer.

The catechetical crisis is evidently not limited to the U.S.
