Institute for Latino Studies/University of Notre Dame -- The Institute for Latino Studies, in keeping with the distinctive mission, values, and traditions of the University of Notre Dame, promotes understanding and appreciation of the social, cultural, and religious life of U.S. Latinos through advancing research, expanding knowledge, and strengthening community:

- Center for the Study of Latino Religion -- The Center for the Study of Latino Religion (CSLR) was founded in 2002 within the Institute for Latino Studies at the University of Notre Dame. Its mission is to serve as a national center and clearinghouse for ecumenically focused social-scientific study of the US Latino church, its leadership, and the interaction between religion and community.

- Center for Latino Spirituality and Culture -- Since its founding, the Institute has looked for ways to focus attention on the Latino religious experience—this "new form of human existence." In the past year the Institute's Center for Latino Spirituality and Culture (CLSC) has evolved considerably, reflecting the growing presence and contributions of Latinos to US spiritual life.
