Pastoral Juvenil Hispana

¿Quiénes son ‘los jóvenes’?

In Hispanic Youth and Young Adult Ministry, the term ‘jóvenes’ is used to describe young people between the ages of 18-35, and ministry with them is known as ‘pastoral juvenil hispana’. What unites them all is their youthful enthusiasm and energy, but also the challenges of transition and discovery.

‘Los jóvenes’ represent men and women in their late teens, twenties, and thirties from diverse cultural, racial, ethnic, educational, vocational, social, political, and spiritual backgrounds. They are college students, workers, and professionals; persons in military service; single, married, divorced, or widowed; with or without children; newcomers in search of a better life. — United States Conference of Catholic Bishops
