A Sankofa Celebration of African American “Saints”

We invite you to join in a spiritual experience to celebrate the ongoing journey of the African American 19^th century Catholics who are on their way to canonization in our Church. We also want to recognize and honor the “saints” among us in the Pauline tradition who have been martyred or suffer because of their Blackness. Borrowing from the words of the Jesuit Black Catholic Studies Scholar Fr. Joseph Brown who will join us, we will embark on a short portion of our ‘Sankofa journey,” that we pray will bring us ever closer to completing the spiritual, emotional, and cultural cycle of our people.
