Abstract

This chapter focuses on four rural Catholic Iowa priests and their rural ministries that focus on inclusion and belonging. All four priests are motivated by Catholic social teachings and by a deep commitment to social justice. Their parishes in Washington, Columbus Junction, West Liberty, and Iowa City, Iowa have seen tremendous growth in the number of Latina/o parishioners, and their ministries are largely focused on outreach and engagement with women and men from Central America.
