Why Are We Here?
“ What does it mean to be black and Catholic, it means that I come to my church fully functioning, I bring myself, my black self, all that I am, all that I have, and all that I hope to become, I bring my history, my traditions, my experience, my culture, my African-American song and dance and gestures and movement and teaching and preaching and healing and responsibility – as a gift to the Church.” (Sister Thea Bowman).
We will develop our programming aligning them with the National Black Catholic Congress Pastoral Plan while incorporating area specific needs based on dialogue through convening listening sessions with our AA Catholic community. Programming will include learning sessions, discussions of theology, Catholic church teachings and faith sharing, faith formation, and evangelization.
