The essence of a liturgical celebration is universal in the Roman Catholic Church. However, the Church encourages the inculturation of these mysteries to facilitate the full and meaningful participation of the faithful. This workshop will examine the ways that Hispanics, mainly Mexican-Americans, express their faith during liturgical celebrations, bringing something from their heritage and creating something new for the entire Church in the United States . Topics include: Liturgy and Popular Religiosity, Church Documents on Popular Religiosity, Home Practices, Marian Devotions, Sacraments among Hispanics, Rites of Passage, Liturgical Year: Christmas, Easter, Ordinary Time Cycles, and Special Feasts.
