I became a Catholic two years ago. There were over fifty adults plus a couple of teens in my class. No Hispanics.

My husband became a Catholic last Easter. Not quite as large a group as mine, about 40. Again, no Hispanics.

Th Church has been a comfort and a joy for me. My all who worship this Easter find the same joy, whatever their church may be.

Congrats on your new-found faith. But, why would the classes have many (if any) Hispanic immigrants from South or Central America? Typically, they are already Roman Catholic, so they wouldn't need to go through any classes, true? The lack of Hispanic immigrants in the classes doesn't mean that they aren't (or are) a factor in any increase in membership.
