Some
of our recent projects have been
* Jesuits West Province’s Faith Doing Justice Discernment Series (we translated the guide, handouts & PowerPoint presentations)* Knights of Columbus’ upcoming video series “Into the Breach” (we translated the scripts for the Spanish audio)* The Divine Worship and Sacraments office of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati (we are translating their extensive formation resource for training Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion)* The V Encuentro Team (we help translate, prepared closed captions for the national event videos on the page of E-resources for the Proceedings and Conclusions document)* The Claretian Missionaries’ yearly publication The Claretian Mission. I’m also putting the final edits to my 4th book I’ve translated for them, a Biography of their Co-Founder, Fr. Josep Xifré. Right now they are celebrating a Claretian Year with daily reflections that we translated as well. These translations are from Spanish to English.
