WHY #BIENVENIDOPAPAFRANCISCO? LATINOS WELCOME OUR POPE, FRANCISCO The numbers are in and it seems everybody loves Francis. The spiritual leader of over a billion Catholics, Pope Francis enjoys broad support across much of the world, according to a survey report by the Pew Research Center. His love of Christ and God s children, his compassion, and spirituality are inspiring and re-energizing people worldwide. As the Papal visit quickly approaches, more and more of us are turning to the Internet and social media to connect, participate, rejoice, and renew our spirit with Pope Francis. The goal of this campaign to to connect Hispanics, especially those who cannot see Papa Francisco in person, with the visit of our Holy Father. #BIENVENIDOPAPAFRANCISCO www.bienvenidofrancisco.com
WHY #BIENVENIDOPAPAFRANCISCO? GIVING LATINOS A VOICE AND OPPORTUNITY TO SEND A MESSAGE TO PAPA FRANCISO The welcome campaign seeks to give Hispanics a voice and connection to Pope Francis' visit. As a result, National Hispanics Catholic organizations launched #BIENVENIDOPAPAFRANCISCO to officially embrace Our Pope during his upcoming visit to the United States of America. The mission is to reach every parish, every community, every home with our message of love and welcome for Papa Francisco. The welcome campaign is launched online and in social media. It includes an official Bienvenido Papa Francisco website with reflection, prayer, and a song created by Pedro Rubalcava of Oregon Catholic Press. The website will publish images and videos welcoming Pope Francis from the heart of the Latino community and Church. Bienvenido Papa Francisco posters and prayer cards will be distributed in all the dioceses. #BIENVENIDOPAPAFRANCISCO www.bienvenidofrancisco.com
#BIENVENIDOPAPAFRANCISCO CAMPAIGN GOALS 1. Offer Hispanic Catholics an opportunity to provide a welcome, un abrazo al Papa Francisco, and to participate in the joy over his visit. 2. Create avenues of participation in the papal visit for the great number of Hispanic Catholics unable to travel to New York, Philadelphia, or Washington. 3. Generate a contribution for the most vulnerable in the community. 4. Inform the U.S. Church about the identity and characteristics of the Hispanic Catholic Community.. #BIENVENIDOPAPAFRANCISCO www..bienvenidofrancisco.com
