Featured Article: A Brief History of African American Catholics - "Slavery was a cruel social institution that corrupted the entire history of the United States. It divided the nation. It divided religion. It touched every part of the Catholic Church. In 1839, Pope Gregory XVI condemned slavery in the document Supremo Apostolatus Fastigio, but this made little impact. Catholic slaveholders did not consider slavery immoral, since the Bible did not forbid it. Many priests and religious sisters owned slaves. So did some bishops. Even some African American Catholics had slaves. A black person might purchase a slave in order to be able to marry him or her and the spouse remained, legally, a slave." | Read Full Story

 The National Black Catholic Seminarians Association

The National Black Catholic Seminarians Association (NBCSA) seeks to contribute to the wellbeing of candidates for priesthood and religious life, with an emphasis on Black American, African, Afro-Caribbean, and Afro-Latino candidates preparing to serve the Church in the United States and its territories. The interest of the NBCSA, however, extends to the broader formation community as it seeks to promote knowledge of, and apostolic works in, the diverse Black Catholic community in the United States.

Promoting vocations to priesthood and religious life has become central to the identity and mission of NBCSA.

An affiliate of the National Black Catholic Clergy Caucus, the National Black Catholic Seminarians Association also cooperates with the National Black Sisters Conference.

Black American, African, Afro-Caribbean, and Afro-Latino seminarians preparing to serve the Catholic Church in the United States and its territories are invited to register with the NBCSA.
