  "Nashville is at a crucial juncture in its history. We are not yet a truly diverse city, but we are about to become one, and the real question is, Can we do it right?"

Nashville Diocese ordered Spanish Mass 20 years ago

The Chattanooga Times Free Press notes in this article that Spanish Mass was a priority in Nashville at least 20 years ago:
The Rev. George E. Schmidt, pastor of Sts. Peter & Paul Church, said the then-Diocese of Nashville recognized the influx of immigrants more than 20 years ago when it assigned a priest to hold a monthly Spanish Mass in Nashville, Knoxville, Chattanooga and the Tri-Cities.
