During November, Black Catholics proudly remember their history and heritage within the Catholic Church. Their liturgies feature dynamic gospel music, animated preaching, liturgical dancing, and expressive prayer to honor those who have contributed to the traditions of the Church despite opposition.

The Office of Black Catholics joined in the national celebration of Black Catholic History Month with a Mass on Nov. 2, All Souls Day. The event, themed “Thriving as Sons and Daughters of God,” took place at Sacred Heart of Jesus Church in Baton Rouge.
