Black Catholic History Month Celebration

Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Black Catholics have had a huge impact on the history and traditions of Christianity of the Church and have been formally celebrating that history since 1990 when the National Black Catholic Clergy Caucus of the United States established Black Catholic History Month. At our gathering, in addition to a tasty lunch, we will pray, share & reflect on the life of African Americans Catholics being considered for Sainthood. Additionally, we will participate in spirit-filled Black Catholic History Snippet activities. There will also be a youth track for middle and high school students.

Your hostess for the day will be Sr. Roberta Fulton, SSMN. Facilitators include: Judge Arthur C. McFarland, Ms. Elease Amos-Goodwin and Ms. Kathleen Merritt.

Lunch will be served and registration is required. The registration fee is $10.00 . There is no charge for youth to attend. Registration deadline is November 11, 2019.

Make your check payable to Diocese of Charleston and mail to:
