In the latest episode of the Auxilium Podcast, I had the privilege of interviewing Karla Alvarez, the Director of Multicultural Ministries for the Diocese of Shreveport, Louisiana.
The Heart of Multicultural Ministry
”People want to be seen and heard, and ministry becomes so much more impactful when it acknowledges the unique identity of each community.”
Presence Over Programs
”We go to different houses, we give them prayers and Mass times, and we let them know they are missed,” Karla explained.
Integrating Tabella: Technology as a Tool for Connection
”It’s wonderful to have a tool that’s specifically Catholic and available in both English and Spanish,” Karla explained.
Final Thoughts: The Power of Silence and Service
”Silence with the Lord is where I find the strength I need to serve,” she said. “In silence, we’re reminded that it’s God’s work we’re doing, not our own.”
