THURSDAY • NOVEMBER 13 • 6:30 PM

African-American Catholics have deep roots in New York City, but they have often struggled to be recognized as an important part of the Catholic community. Claude Mangum, Professor of African Studies at Fordham University, will discuss New York’s black priests, the Franciscan Handmaids of the Most Pure Heart of Mary, and the importance of St. Mark the Evangelist Church in Harlem as a cornerstone of the modern black Catholic community with Herbert Johnson, Director, Continuing Education and Professional Studies, John Jay College of Criminal Justice; Mary Purcell, educator; and Sister Loretta Theresa, Congregation Minister, Franciscan Handmaids of the Most Pure Heart of Mary. Presented in conjunction with Catholics in New York, 1808-1946.
