On the road to Sainthood: Honoring Black Catholics

Embark on a journey of discovery with us as we honor the lives and legacies of six African Americans on their path to sainthood, shining a light on their profound impact on the Catholic Church. Ever wondered what it takes to be a saint? Uncover the steps from being named a Servant of God to achieving sainthood, and learn about the vital role of living a virtuous life and the need for miracles in this sacred process. In our special bonus episode of "What's the Tea with Ministry," and in celebration of Black History Month, we delve into the remarkable stories of Mother Mary Elizabeth Lange, Julia Greeley, and Sister Thea Bowman and more. These trailblazers not only advanced education and charity but also promoted cultural awareness within the Church, all while facing racial challenges. We discuss the ongoing importance of recognizing and addressing racism, amplifying a universal message of love and equality. Listeners are encouraged to visit the Fountain Lounge hallway to admire the portraits of these inspiring figures and reflect on their teachings. Join us for a heartfelt tribute to these extraordinary individuals and their lasting influence on both the Church and society.
