Established in 1990 by the National Black Clergy Conference, Black Catholic History Month is an annual November observance celebrating the history, contributions, and heritage of Black Catholics in the U.S. and beyond. In November, we celebrate All Souls and All Saints, St. Martin de Porres, the first Black saint of the Americas, St. Augustine from North Africa, and St. Monica, Augustine’s mother. In November, we also recognize Servants of God and Venerables who are candidates for sainthood. Read the attached PDF about the Six Black Catholic Americans who are on the path to sainthood.
