These articles are about Hispanic ministry by Holy Cross religious. Many of them were written by people who lived dedicated lives and worked decades ago. Some of the articles carry the flavor, opinions, and language of when they were lived and written.
In many ways these men were brilliant organizers and pastors. We might look back on their work, language, opinions and see their limits--as others will do to us one day. " The footsteps of those men who called us to walk in their company left deep prints, as of men carrying heavy burdens. But they did not trudge; they strode. For they had the hope." (no. 122, CSC Constitutions)
Father Alfred Mendez, C.S.C. later became the bishop of Arecibo, Puerto Rico.
