Our diocese subsidizes at least five of the churches in heavily Hispanic neighborhoods,this amounts to just about all of the parishes that have a large number of Mexicans. The Bishop uses money from his annual diocesan collection and which has given to him by parishioners from wealthier parishes.

Furthermore,many of the wealthier parishes have kind of adopted Hispanic parishes and give money and assistance to them on a regular basis. We also have the Saint Vincent DePaul Societies in every city which help to feed,clothe,shelter and provide medical assistance to the poor,that includes many Hispanics as well as those of other ethnicities and races. There are other Catholic organizations that help all of the poor. The Knights of Columbus give financial aid,scholarships and a lot of gifts at Christmas.

Statements made about wanting them up here to enrich collections are so absurd it is almost embarrassing to read the totally uninformed,silly opinions of Freepers,who to this point I had thought were generally fairly bright.
