EDUCATION – 2023 Continuing Education and Enrichment (C&E) Course Offerings

“Here I Am, Send Me!”
Isaiah 6:8
The theme of the 2023 Institute for Black Catholic Studies reflects a particular mission: the study and praxis of God’s gift of Blackness in the light of Catholic Christian faith. Under the auspices of the Holy Spirit and a cloud of ancestral witnesses, the IBCS forms disciples to evangelize, to teach, preach and practice justice in the 21st century.

The Institute community of learners is culturally diverse and intergenerational. Students and faculty are co-learners, immersed in the unique environment of Xavier University in New Orleans to engage in Black Catholic theological scholarship, pastoral ministry, and community life.
