The St. Louis IX Art Society and Saint Joseph Abbey are pleased to present a showing of “A Place at the Table: African-Americans on the Path to Sainthood”!
There are no African-American Saints formally recognized within the Catholic Church, but that could soon change. There are six incredible black men and women who are on the path to Canonization. The Catholic Church is starting to recognize their impact and may soon name any or all of them Saints. It's time to hear their stories.
