For over 35 years, the Hispanic Summer Program has taught over 1,800 seminarians and graduate students of religion, provided training for over 200 non-Latinx faculty and administrators, and contributed to the development of countless Latinx clergy, community organizers, and faculty in our now year-round programming. We have partnered with and significantly expanded and enriched the theological education being offered at seminaries and universities across the country with academic courses and high-level programs that directly address Latinx history, ministry, and theology. In June of 2024, we will celebrate this legacy of Latinx theological leadership formation. Join us!

What to Expect

• The launch of the Latinidad in the Context of Theological Education Summit that seeks to produce educational materials for seminary and divinity school classrooms around Latinidad in theological education.
• Celebrating with a historic Latinx community in North Philadelphia at the campus of Esperanza.
• Learning from Latinx theological storytelling through the play “When Wajcha Meets Pachamama” written and directed by HSP faculty member Dr. Cláudio Carvalhaes.
• A celebratory banquet with a reception, dinner, and live music.
