Take a Stand Against Domestic Violence RACISM: What Does the Catholic Church Have to Say? Bishop Fernand J.Cheri, OFM Calls on the Church to "Roll On" "A news reporter asked me, 'What are you feeling at this moment?' I said, 'The church showed out; let the church roll on.' While I grew in a spirit of confidence, compassion and integrity as a Black Catholic leader amid this COVID-19 pandemic, I watched chancery officials becoming more anxious, bewildered and restless as the challenge “what now?” rang through the building and across the diocese."

An Interview With Brother Kevin Hill, Attorney
and New Member of the Knights of Peter Claver, Inc.

It was eye opening that in the 21st century, the majority of Catholics in attendance had never heard a homily on racism, when it is such a critical issue in our Church and World."

- Bro. Kevin Hill
