Abstract
-
In his interview, Father Sakowski discusses the growing Latine presence, especially the Mexican presence, in the church where he is a bilingual pastor. He has a doctorate in Theology with 13 years of higher level education in his past where he learned six languages including Spanish. He discusses challenges within the church for himself and that he has seen his Latine congregation endure, along with the Latine Catholic celebrations that are conducted at the church.
