RADIO Submitted photo continued from page 1 area for evangelization. With conservative estimates of more than 100,000 Catholic Hispanics in the Indianapolis area, it’s estimated that as few as 3,000 Hispanics attend Spanish Masses at various churches on the weekends. About 1,400 Hispanics attend the Spanish Masses at St. Patrick each weekend. Father Tom wants to know where the rest of them are. “We think we can reach more through an Hispanic radio station,” said Father Tom. “The goal is to evangelize.” He knows that some Hispanics are leaving the faith and others are just not coming to Mass. Some have valid reasons, such as trans- portation and work issues. Often, there is only one family car and the husband takes it for work. Bus service in the city on Sunday is slow, said Father Tom, causing Hispanic families to end up taking more than one bus and sometimes they don’t make it to church on time.
