In 2022, with a nearly $1.5 million grant from the Lilly Endowment, Dominican launched the PASOS network to help Catholic universities develop culturally responsive campus ministries for Latino students. It has commissioned Springtide Research Institute to conduct a study on the topic, held workshops and presentations and partnered on a summer theology program for undergraduates. It also created an undergraduate theology and arts journal called Nepantla.
Armando Guerrero Estrada, the director of PASOS, said Latino students who have attended its conferences say “they just wanted to be heard. They just wanted to be seen, and they wanted to be included in the decision-making of their campus ministries.”
