CWN Editor's Note: 4,479 out of the 16,279 parishes in the United States have Masses in Spanish, according to a survey conducted by the US bishops’ Committee on Cultural Diversity in the Church.
An additional 2,760 parishes “have a Hispanic/Latino presence or ministry but no Mass in Spanish,” according to the survey, in which 100% of dioceses participated.
The survey lists the number of parishes in each diocese in which Spanish Masses are offered. Four archdioceses (Los Angeles, New York, San Antonio, and Galveston-Houston) have more than 100 parishes in which Spanish Masses are offered; three dioceses (Altoona-Johnstown, Duluth, and Marquette) have none.
