Twelve
parishes, one Hispanic Mission and the Chaplaincy at Brown
University share a north central location
in the state. These parishes currently
are working to harness the excitement of
the new relationships. The deanery has a
great deal of diversity comprising rich
and poor, old families and new
immigrants, suburbanites and city folk.
Many of the parishes are both blessed and
burdened by large expensive-to-maintain
buildings. Others are experiencing energy
and growth under new ministers. Parishes
with small or no endowments are uncertain
about their futures. All of these
parishes in the Deanery worship God and
serve their neighbors with enthusiasm and
hope, including those in the poorest
sections of Providence.
The Hispanic Ministry meets at El Mesias Church, at 271 North Main Street in Providence (The Cathedral of St. John) under leadership of the Diocesan Hispanic Missioner The Rev. Jose Roberts.
Dean: The Rev. James Bocchino
