Pastoral de Conjunto for Hispanic Organizations

Format and Approach of the Listening Activity

This material kicks off the listening phase—the “seeing” phase—leading up to the NCCHM annual assembly in Dallas. There are five short videos, totaling about 50 minutes, available on the platform so that each organization can go through them at its own pace and according to its availability.

The videos invite us to recognize the challenges and opportunities faced by organizations working with the Hispanic community, and to rediscover the value of listening to one another—beyond each organization’s specific mission—: what sustains us, what wears us down, and where we are already helping one another without even realizing it.

The series concludes with a survey—one response per organization—that captures each organization’s reality: what it does, whom it serves, what resources it has, and what it lacks. This assessment serves as the starting point for the assembly: our collaborative work will take place in Dallas and will be based on what we gather here.
