Archbishop Alex J. Brunett’s decision to call for a “Year of Discernment” on stewardship in the Archdiocese of Seattle (July 2007-June 2008), has helped highlight a challenge that many pastors have been aware of for years: Hispanic Catholics do not readily adapt to the traditional “collection plate” practices prevalent in U.S. parishes.
The distinct character of Hispanic/Latino stewardship is closely related to culture, language and tradition.
“They volunteer, they give their time and labor and sometimes material (such as for construction or remodeling projects),” said Isaac Govea, archdiocesan assistant director for Hispanic/Latino Services. The more established and economically well off Hispanic families in the U.S. are, he said, the more likely they are to register with their local parish and begin using donation envelopes.”*
