Black Catholics to Know
Last week in this column we asked if you know or know about any Black Catholics and their contributions. Now we’d like to offer you a short list of names to consider. Some famous, some not.  Some ancient, some current.  A simple google search will lead you right to them or you  can check out our bulletin board in the back of church.

St. Josephine Bakhita * Julia Greeley * Cardinal Gregory * Sr. Mary Antona Ebo * St. Augustine and his mother, St.Monica * Velma Bailey *  Fr. Augustine Tolton * Caleb Camp (cover of Catholic St. Louis Oct/Nov)
For Reflection:  Why is it important to be familiar with our Black Catholic brothers and sisters?  How could you support/live out the ideas and work of any of these people?
