• To make Spanish or Spanish-speaking parents aware of their responsibility in the education of their children (school - training), and to support them in the task.
• The diffusion and promotion of the Spanish language and culture.
• To encourage the integration of the Spanish language in formal education and to commit ourselves to its teaching.
• To become, in addition, a place of welcome, communication, exchange and leisure.

Although by extension we are a Hispanic Christian group, defining our group can be complicated: We have in common the faith and somehow the origin, although our origins are quite extensive: from Patagonia to Alaska and from America to Europe, in general because we speak Spanish, although others speak Spanish and although it seems confusing there are also with us Italians, Portuguese, Greeks, Germans, and even Koreans, some who speak Spanish and others who don't even speak Spanish. The nice thing is that we find each other, and with that we share like a big family. We cordially invite you to participate in our meetings on Friday and Saturday afternoons, the exact dates are on this website in the calendar. You will also find there the dates for the other events we have in planning. If you think you fit this profile, come to the Encounter and I assure you that you will feel at home and you will not regret it.
