Diocesan Hispanic Minister
The Diocese of Covington, Kentucky (www.covdio.org) invites individuals who are proficient in both English and Spanish and who are interested in advancing the mission of our local Church to discern a full-time vocation of ministry and service to the communities of primarily-Spanish-speaking families and individuals living within the boundaries of our diocese. We seek a passionate, committed individual to work to build productive, collaborative relationships, and then to be a proactive advocate for the continuing pastoral care and assimilation of these identified and unidentified persons into the life of our local Church and our communities. The Diocesan Hispanic Minister will work a very flexible full-time schedule, committing time and resources to draw these constituencies closer to the heart of the Church. The Diocesan Hispanic Minister will be a facilitator of care and accompaniment, identifying and implementing new methods of outreach, and acting as a communications bridge. S/he will utilize social media, public gatherings, and other means of group communications to demonstrate and promote opportunities for growth, advancement, and understanding. We are looking for a personable, actively practicing Roman Catholic who is well-versed in Church doctrine and practice, as well as the Hispanic language and culture. A degree in Theology or a related field is preferred, and experience working with or actively participating in a Hispanic Catholic community environment would be important. Interested individuals who may feel called to this kind of ministry should send a letter of interest and a detailed comprehensive resume, including references with contact email addresses, to Stephen Koplyay, SPHR by email at skoplyay@covdio.org.
