Volume 2 | Issue 1 | Fall 2015
During this time of thanksgiving, we are especially grateful for
your constant support of our mission to educate and empower
leaders for service in a culturally diverse Church and society.
Your investment in MACC has produced a harvest of fruitful
works over the years. Most recently, your generosity expanded
our mission to include bilingual degree-based programs in
Pastoral Ministry. Since 2009, these programs empowered
over 30 students with B.A. degrees and certificates. This
December, we will graduate an additional five students, and
over 30 will complete their studies in May!
In addition to our on-campus programs, MACC continues
to assist communities across the country. This summer, we
partnered with Foundations and Donors Interested in Catholic
Activities (FADICA), the National Leadership Roundtable on
Church Management, and the University of Incarnate Word
to offer a national symposium on Philanthropy and Hispanic
Ministry in the 21st Century. This fall, we also offered
workshops, fostering intercultural competencies, to the clergy,
religious, and lay leaders of the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City,
the Diocese of Dodge City, Kansas, and the Missionary Sisters
of the Sacred Heart.
Thanks to you, MACC’s mission is vibrant and responding
innovatively to the needs, challenges, and opportunities of
today. As Pope Francis so powerfully reminded us in his recent
visit, we must be willing to move beyond our routines and
comfort zones to be the presence of Christ in the peripheries.
I hope you will continue to accompany us through prayer and
financial support. Just as your prayers strengthen our spiritual
well-being, your tax-deductible donation – of whatever
amount – reinforces and maintains the strong foundation you
have helped to build! God bless you!
Sincerely in Christ,
Arturo Chávez, Ph.D.
President and CEO
Durante este tiempo de acción de gracias, estamos especialmente agradecidos por su apoyo constante a nuestra misión
de educar y capacitar a líderes para el servicio en una iglesia
y sociedad culturalmente diversas. Su inversión en MACC ha
producido una cosecha de trabajo fructífero a través de los
años. Muy recientemente, su generosidad amplió nuestra misión para incluir programas bilingües basados en grados en el
Ministerio Pastoral. Desde 2009, estos programas han capacitado a más de 30 estudiantes con títulos de Bachelor of Arts, y
certificados. Este Diciembre, se graduarán cinco estudiantes
más, y más de 30 terminarán sus estudios en Mayo!
Además de nuestros programas en el campus, MACC continúa
ayudando a comunidades en todo el país. Este verano, nos
asociamos con “Foundations and Donors Interested in Catholic Activities (FADICA)”, la “National Leadership Roundtable
on Church Management”, y la “University of Incarnate Word”
para ofrecer un simposium nacional sobre la Filantropía y el
Ministerio Hispano en el siglo XXI. Este otoño, también ofrecimos talleres para fomentar competencias interculturales, a
los clérigos, religiosos/as y laicos de la Arquidiócesis de Oklahoma City, la Diócesis de Dodge City, Kansas, y las Hermanas
Misioneras del Sagrado Corazón.
Gracias a usted, la misión de MACC es vibrante y responde innovadoramente a las necesidades, retos y oportunidades de
la actualidad. Como el Papa Francisco nos recordó tan poderosamente en su reciente visita, debemos de estar dispuestos a ir más allá de nuestra rutina y zona de confort para ser
la presencia de Cristo en las periferias. Espero que continúe
acompañándonos con sus oraciones y apoyo económico. Al igual que sus oraciones fortalecen nuestro bienestar espiritual,
su donación deducible de impuestos – de cualquier cantidad
– refuerza y mantiene la base sólida que ¡usted ha ayudado a
construir! ¡Dios le bendiga!
St. Paul reminds us to be generous with our time, talent, and treasure, saying, “Whoever sows bountifully
will also reap bountifully...you are being enriched in every way for all generosity, which through us
produces thanksgiving to God.”

San Pablo no recuerda que debemos ser generosos con nuestro tiempo, talento y tesoro, diciendo, “El que
siembra mucho, mucho cosecha...así tendrán ustedes toda clase de riquezas y podrán dar generosamente.
Y la colecta que ustedes envíen, será motivo de que por medio de nosotros los hermanos den gracias a
Dios”.

“I arrived at MACC knowing no Spanish, having
never studied it before. While there, I had the
opportunity not only to learn a considerable amount
of vocabulary, grammar & culture, but also had the
opportunity to proclaim the Word in Spanish and
preside, in Spanish, at Mass. It is a bit unbelievable,
but true! I highly recommend MACC’s pastoral
Spanish.
