A Chat With Jose Amaya

Today, Catholics of all ages find themselves in a new era: a time of constant change and growing cultural diversity. In his Apostolic Exhortation the Joy of the Gospel, Pope Francis tells us that we are to be a Church that “goes forth.” For this reason, the Bishops of United States are launching the initiative the V Encuentro of Hispanic/Latino Ministry under the theme “Missionary Disciples: Witnesses of God’s Love." In this edition of Catholic Military, Mr. Jose Amaya, Director of Faith Formation for the Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA (AMS), talks about what the AMS is doing for V Encuentro. How can the Archdiocese better respond to the Hispanic/Latino presence in the U.S. Military? How will the AMS help strengthen the ways in which Hispanics/Latinos can respond to the call to the New Evangelization as missionary disciples in service to the Church? How can Hispanic/Latino members of the Military participate in this exciting initiative? Mr. Amaya explains in this edition of Catholic Military Life.
