Catholic parishes are booming in the Southwest–what does that mean for the U.S. church?

Catholic parishes are growing quickly in the Southwest, and that’s
raising important questions for the U.S. church: How are Anglo and
Latino communities integrating on the ground? Why aren’t Latinos
adequately represented in parish, diocesan and national church
structures? Ashley and Zac welcome Jim McDermott, S.J., and
Sebastian Gomes to discuss Part One of America Media’s new,
groundbreaking documentary, “People of God: How Catholic Parish
Life is Changing in the United States.” The film begins in the
suburbs of Phoenix, Ariz., where one parish built a second church
to accommodate the new families joining the parish on an almost
daily basis. Watch "People of God: How Catholic Parish Life is
Changing in the United States" Stay tuned to the Jesuitical feed
