¡Canto de Esperanza!
HLPW Brings a Song of Hope to Hispanic and Latin Women in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)
by Cecilia Casal

When women get together to solve a problem or meet a need, amazing things happen! Since the 1920s, Presbyterian Hispanic and Latina women from New York to Mexico have been organizing themselves for study and service in various ways. Today, the end result is a dynamic, unified network called Hispanic Latin Presbyterian Women (HLPW) that stretches across the continent and beyond.

The song did not all start in one place and at one time, however, as the following examples show.

Follow the dynamic history of Presbyterian Hispanic and Latina women by reading the January/February 2008 issue of Horizons.

Cecilia Casal is national moderator of Hispanic Latin Presbyterian Women. Originally from Ecuador, she lives in West Texas. She is a certified public accountant, is married to José Luís Casal and has four children.
