WASHINGTON, D.C. (7News) — In the heart of Northwest D.C., nestled on a quiet street, stands St. Augustine Catholic Church — a historic beacon of faith that has survived slavery, segregation, and decades of marginalization. This Black History Month, the church opens its doors to share a story of endurance, devotion, and the remarkable individuals known as the Saintly Seven, who are on the path to Catholic sainthood.
