Williston pastor supports growing Hispanic community

Omar Rosado is a leader of the Hispanic community in Williston, Florida.

The pastor helps people who come to his church by offering social services and helping them follow their faith.

Rosado has noticed a growing number of immigrants in the area, including those who are undocumented. “I’m not an immigration officer; I’m just a pastor,” Rosado said.

“We help them, protect them and make them grow their faith. But I know many people who don’t dare to leave their houses at night.”
