What is ¡OYE!?
Urgent needs require decisive responses
The time has come. We could not wait any longer because the Hispanic population in the United States is increasing at a rapid pace, and, to a large degree, the future of the church will lie in the hands of Hispanic youth. The time of indecision has passed, and young people are now urgently called to respond to the call to leadership within the church. Without them, the church simply will cease to be.
¡Oye!, the new faith and discernment magazine from Claretian Publications you have in your hands, responds to this challenge and, in turn, passes it on to its young readers. The call from God may come, as scripture says, in a soft breeze. But now and then it needs to be amplified so that it can be heard in all its power because it is in need of an urgent response. Here is our attempt to serve as a loudspeaker.— Carmen F. Aguinaco, Managing Editor
What is ¡OYE!?
The ¡OYE! VOCATION & VOLUNTEER RESOURCE GUIDE is a free, faith and discernment annual publication that reaches out to the exploding young, Hispanic Catholic community in the United States with the dynamic message of God’s call on these young people’s lives. Encouraging readers to consider both a call to consecrated life and volunteerism, the unique, bilingual ¡OYE! of Claretian Missionaries, will distribute 110,000 copies this year free of charge through Hispanic parishes, schools and ministers as well as through campus and youth ministries throughout the United States and Puerto Rico.
Who publishes ¡OYE!?
¡OYE! is published by the Hispanic Ministry Resource Center of the Claretians. Following in the footsteps of St. Anthony Claret — a prolific writer and publisher whom Pope Pius XI called the "Modern Apostle of the Good Press"—the Claretians in the United States began their publishing ministry in 1935 with the first edition of the magazine The Voice of St. Jude. In 1963, during the Second Vatican Council, The Voice of St. Jude transformed into U.S. Catholic magazine. Today Claretian Publications in Chicago is one of the country's most respected Catholic publishers of magazines and newsletters.
Who are The Claretians?
