Hispanic & Latine Ministry

Buscamos Juntos

Recognizing and celebrating the diversity of student faith experiences, Mission and Ministry partners with student groups and the wider Villanova community to provide opportunities for worship, service and formation through and with the experience of Hispanic and Latin American Catholicism and other faith traditions.
 

Oramos

Mass in Spanish

Mass in Spanish is celebrated each Sunday during the academic year at 3 p.m. in Corr Hall Chapel. Students, faculty, staff and all other Villanova community members are welcome to come and celebrate Mass with us. 

Learn more about Catholic worship at Villanova.

Liturgical Ministers

Students are invited to participate in the different liturgical ministry roles available at the Spanish mass. Students may serve as lectors or in hospitality roles.

Contact Marisol Lezcano if you are interested in serving as a liturgical minister for Spanish Mass.

   

Celebramos

Mission and Ministry hosts a monthly Cena de la Convivencia. These dinners gather Villanovans to build community and celebrate Latin culture.

We also offer celebrations of important Latin American Catholic feast days, such as La Virgen de Guadalupe and Nuestra Señora de la Divina Providencia.

    

Servimos

Students can participate in service with local Hispanic communities as volunteers for ESoL tutoring, offered through Community Outreach of Villanova (COV). These various opportunities through COV primarily serve Hispanic and immigrant communities in South Philadelphia.

Participation in COV is a semester-long commitment to volunteer once a week with one of our partner organizations. 

For more information on serving through COV, contact Marisol Lezcano.
