African and Native Americans for Sainthood

Images from the National Black Catholic Congress of the “Saintly Seven”, African Americans on the path to Sainthood, are on display this spring at Marikle Chapel at Notre Dame of Maryland University, accompanied by information about each of them. Click here and scroll to read about the candidates for sainthood. Julia Campagna, the former Director of Mission and Ministry at NDMU, was instrumental in placing and finishing the display.

Sisters and Associates at or near the Atlantic Midwest’s residences received a bookmark containing six of the African American candidates on it. The Dismantling Racism committee asks you to pray for the canonization of these African Americans as well as the cause for canonization of the Native American, Nicholas Black Elk.
