More than just a renewal, the Church in the American continents longs for a new creation, to be reborn from its roots, from its own identity, and from there to recover its courage to project itself to the world in the same spirit of Jesus, the incarnate Word.
Mexico has one of the largest and most diverse indigenous populations (22.2 million) in Latin America with 62 recognized ethnic groups speaking 62 languages. It is significant that most of our missionary commitment is in the parish — indigenous, urban and semi-urban parishes.
The United States is perhaps the country that has the widest range of racial, cultural and religious diversity in the world. This diversity has resulted from massive and sustained global immigration since the 1830s. Our ministry in approximately 50 parishes in the Chicago Province is the anchor of our mission in prophetic dialogue. The Mission Center located at Techny is engaged in fundraising for the worldwide Society, as well as programs for mission animation.
The Canada District welcomes growing number of ethnic groups. Our ministry is marked by care for immigrants who are seeking to make a home in North America. Currently, we serve people in twelve languages.
