Catholic Current: African American Catholics

Guest Ansel Joseph Augustine, D.Min., Assistant Director of the Secretariat of Cultural Diversity in the Church at the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, talks about the Feast of Saint Peter Claver and the 40th Anniversary of “What We Have Seen and Heard,” a pastoral letter on evangelization from the Black bishops of the United States.
The Pastoral Letter What We Have Seen and Heard is available online, along with a study guide.
The documentary film, Going Home Like a Shooting Star: Thea Bowman's Journey to Sainthood, presents the riveting life of Sister Thea Bowman, an African American Catholic Franciscan Sister who used her powerful gifts to educate and challenge the church and society to grow in racial inclusivity.
