Latino immigrants invigorate Catholic Church

Story and photos by Pablo Candia


Latino immigrants are invigorating the Catholic Church in Dodge City; the church has seen its attendance and activities increased.


According to Father Ted A. Skalsky, more than half of his parishioners are Latinos. Masses and missals have become bilingual as well as billboards and church bulletin news. Skalsky has been in Dodge City’s diocese since 1976. At the time he joined, he said, very few parishioners spoke Spanish and there was only one mass in Spanishâ€â€
