From the archives — Hispanic Heritage Month
Members of the Newark Archdiocesan delegation to the Third National Encuentro in Washington pause to show the banner before embarking on the historic meeting on Aug. 21, 1985. The Encuentro process involved more than half a million Hispanic Catholics and led to the development of the National Pastoral Plan for Hispanic Ministry. (Photographer: D.J.
