Racism in America: How we Respond as Catholics

“As you know, Bishop Burbidge established an Advisory Council on Racism (our own Beverly Carroll is a member!)   He is firmly committed to addressing the issue of racism with love, respect, and prayer.  I have asked our parish council to discuss the issue of racism as well and they have been very receptive. 

I want to share this podcast with you from our Office of Communications titled Searching for More.

I happen to know both of the guests on this podcast, Deacon Gerard Marie-Anthony and Mrs. Melissa Rihl.  I have worked with both of them in previous parishes and ministries.  They are both faith-centered people and work very hard to promote peace and justice.  As well, I invite you to watch this other video of Rev. Scott Woods giving a powerful talk in our diocese, see the second video below.

More than ever, let us pray to promote racial harmony and to build a more just society. 

Saint Martin de Porres, pray for us…”
