In response to the growing Hispanic Catholic community in the United States and Canada, seminarians from both countries are being sent to study in Mexico at the Hispanic Seminary of Our Lady of Guadalupe<\/a>, a multicultural formation center for future priests.<\/p>\n

The seminary was founded on Aug. 31, 1999, by the then-primate archbishop of Mexico, Cardinal Norberto Rivera, after the Catholic Church recognized the need to form priests capable of understanding the cultural richness of Hispanics in North America.<\/p>\n

Rivera was inspired by the call issued by St. John Paul II in the January 1999 apostolic exhortation Ecclesia in America<\/em><\/a>, which called the American Church to a new evangelization.<\/p>\n

The seminary opened in August 2000 with the arrival of five seminarians from the archdioceses of Los Angeles and Milwaukee. Since then, more than 200 graduates from at least 55 dioceses across the U.S. have passed through the formation center.<\/p>\n

In an interview with ACI Prensa,\u00a0the Spanish-language sister service of EWTN News, Father Juan Antonio V\u00e9rtiz Guti\u00e9rrez, the seminary\u2019s rector, explained that the learning experience goes beyond language. The seminarians gain firsthand insight into what the Church in Mexico is like as well as its ecclesial and cultural traditions, particularly through apostolates.<\/p>\n

According to the priest, this enables them to \u201cbetter serve our fellow countrymen and our brothers and sisters of Hispanic origin\u201d in their home dioceses in the U.S. He emphasized that this formation helps these young men understand two distinct cultural realities that, while united in faith, have different cultural expressions.<\/p>\n

For V\u00e9rtiz, one of the greatest beauties of Catholicism is that it \u201cdoesn\u2019t have any borders.\u201d In a time marked by tensions stemming from immigration policies, he noted that the experience of the Hispanic seminary demonstrates that for the Catholic Church, regardless of one\u2019s background, every person \u201calready belongs to the family of the children of God.\u201d<\/p>\n

The program<\/h2>\n

Life at the seminary follows the rhythm of any house of priestly formation but with a particular emphasis on cultural encounter. Mornings are dedicated to philosophical and theological studies at Lumen Gentium Catholic University, while in the afternoons, seminarians delve deeper into language learning and spiritual formation.<\/p>\n

During Holy Week, seminarians are often sent to communities outside Mexico City.<\/p>\n

The admissions process is typically conducted through diocesan vocations offices in the U.S. \u201cWe do not accept young men who do not belong to a diocese,\u201d the rector explained. <\/p>\n

Currently, the seminary hosts 16 young men hailing from California, Nevada, Washington, Texas, Illinois, Alabama, and Georgia.<\/p>\n

Diverse testimonies of faith<\/h2>\n

Rams\u00e9s Yates, originally from the Diocese of Yakima, Washington, arrived at the seminary a year and a half ago to complete his theological formation and learn Spanish.<\/p>\n

In an interview with ACI Prensa, he said his experience in Mexican communities has filled him with \u201cmuch hope and much joy.\u201d In them, he said, it\u2019s possible to witness what it means to \u201cbe a community that lives out Catholicism to the fullest.\u201d<\/p>\n

He noted that he is eagerly preparing to return to Yakima, knowing that he will now be able to speak \u201cwith many more people in my diocese, people with whom I previously could not communicate effectively. That fills me with great enthusiasm.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ram\u00f3n P\u00e9rez, originally from Guanajuato, Mexico, migrated to Fresno, California, at the age of 17. There, his life was defined by work until he felt \u201cthe call to the priesthood, to a more complete dedication to the service of the Church.\u201d<\/p>\n

He told ACI Prensa that following a lengthy process of discernment, he requested admission to the seminary. His diocese decided to send him to Mexico \u201cto continue nurturing my culture and to support the various people entering the United States\u201d from Spanish-speaking countries.<\/p>\n

The seminarian said the experience has enabled him \u201cto know and become conscious of my origins, my roots, and my culture, of where I was born and where I come from.\u201d Growing up in two different cultures, he acknowledged, can be challenging, but it has also \u201cprofoundly shaped this aspect of my vocation.\u201d<\/p>\n
