Spanish for Clergy and Missionaries |
The demand for Spanish speaking clergy in the United States and Canada has never been greater.
The Spanish for Clergy and Missionaries addresses this issue by preparing congregational leaders to effectively communicate with their Latino parishioners.
The first four hours of each day is spent developing vocabulary and basic grammatical dynamics. The last two hours of the day are spent focusing specifics relating to communication in Spanish in a religious environment.
“The acquisition of some basic Spanish is important in the ministry of most clergy. Ensenada, with its beautiful cathedral and other cultural venues, is the perfect place to learn not only the language but the culture of Mexico as well.”

Students enrolled in the program have the opportunity to work with local churches and clergy and are able to practice their newly acquired skills on a daily basis. This proves to be the perfect environment to gain confidence though practice before returning home.
“My most recent week at the Baja California Language College was again such a wonderful experience. Lupita gave our class very lively and helpful lessons and I enjoyed my daily 20 minute walk through the tranquil, sunny streets of Ensenada to and from the school. My home visit family were, as always, friendly and helpful and the food was wonderful!”

Missionairies in Ensenada
Throughout the year, missionaries from all over the world come to Baja California to offer assistance to the needy by building homes and offering social services. Many arrive to help but have little to no Spanish speaking experience.
The Spanish for Clergy and Missionaries Program prepares those wanting to offer help by equipping them with the essential vocabulary and terminology needed to successfully complete their mission.
These 30 hour per week programs are offered throughout the year.
Price: $349.00 per week.
“Let me tell you about my experiences at the Colegio over the years, indeed, decades at this point.
As you know, I first encountered the School in the late 1990s when I moved from Minnesota to California. The staff was very helpful, kind, and patient; and I have been gratified to note very little turnover from year to year. This has increased my comfort level and made it possible to concentrate on my work and studies. Another plus has been the incredible variety of students in attendance from literally all parts of the world.
Ensenada is one of my favorite places. It is a lovely, clean, and friendly city located right on the Pacific Coast. On my most recent visit this past January, I was often out evenings after dark at dinner or for a stroll. I felt completely safe and, I might say, at home. Ensenada offers a variety of activities from touristic to adventurous to the everyday and mundane. The people of Ensenada are invariably kind and gracious.
The acquisition of some basic Spanish is important in the ministry of most clergy. Ensenada, with its beautiful cathedral and other cultural venues, is the perfect place to learn not only the language but the culture of Mexico as well.
I wish you and all your staff continued success.”
