Archbishop Gomez to receive Encuentros Award
First source report
Archbishop José H. Gomez of Los Angeles will receive the 2026 Encuentros Award for his leadership in Hispanic and Latino ministry. The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) Subcommittee on Hispanic/Latino Affairs established the award in 2023 to recognize individuals who contribute to the development and leadership of Hispanic ministry in the United States.
Bishop Óscar Cantú, chairman of the subcommittee, announced the selection during the annual conference of the National Catholic Association of Diocesan Directors for Hispanic Ministry held in Anaheim, California, from Oct. 20 to 23. Bishop Cantú stated that Archbishop Gomez has advocated for the Hispanic community for decades and has highlighted the gifts Hispanic Catholics bring to the Church.
Archbishop Gomez will receive the award during the USCCB plenary assembly in November in Baltimore. He previously served as president of the USCCB from 2019 to 2022.
