“As bishops, we unequivocally state that racism is a life issue. Accordingly, we will not cease to forcefully speak against and work toward ending racism. Racism directly places brother and sister against each other, violating the dignity inherent in each person.”
– U.S. Catholic bishops, Open Wide Our Hearts, nos. 587-590
In the wake of much racial unrest and in honor of the 57th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King’s March on Washingon, the chairman of the Ad Hoc Committee Against Racism has requested a national day of prayer and fasting.
Join the Day of Prayer for Peace in our Communities on the Feast of St. Peter Claver (September 9th).
