As we enter into February, which is nationally recognized as Black History Month, Catholic communities are also preparing to observe the 37th annual National Day of Prayer for the African American and African Family on February 1. Organized by the National Black Catholic Congress (NBCC), this year’s observance centers on the theme: “Rooted in Faith: Reclaiming, Restoring, & Healing the Village.” The event serves as a call to spiritual arms, emphasizing resilience, unity, and renewal at a time when the “domestic church”—the family—faces unique modern challenges.
