Father Johnny at St. John the Apostle offers guidance to Milford’s growing Hispanic community
Fr. Johnny Laura Lazo focuses on providing guidance to 200 Hispanic families attending St. John the Apostle Catholic Church in Milford. Fr. Johnny explained that the Hispanic community is growing rapidly with the majority of families coming from Mexico and Guatemala.
âMy job here is to understand this community and speak with them in their native language,â Fr. Johnny said. âI guide them in what is for them a new culture as Christians in the Catholic community. As an immigrant priest, I know how they feel, so for that reason it is so much easier for them that I understand their traditions, their customs and their love for the Catholic faith.â
