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.”
Frank Hegedus

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!”
Fr. Tom Whelan, O.S.A.

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.
“I have been studying Spanish for four years, in many different countries. I will tell anyone that asks that the instruction at Baja California Language School is as good as it gets. And the city of Ensenada is completely safe. Tourists arrive, literally, by the cruise ship load and walk the streets in perfect safety. I have travelled to Ensenada by boat, by car -- even by bicycle, and I have always felt perfectly safe. There is a wonderful “tourist district” with shops full of bargains and friendly vendors. So, whoever reads this, please don’t be put off by the bad publicity that other parts of Mexico have been receiving. It is exaggerated, and deals almost entirely with problems that people involved in the drug trade are having. People coming to Ensenada to study Spanish are as safe as they will be on any college campus in the USA.”
