Black Catholic History Month was established in 1990 through the advocacy of the National Black Catholic Clergy Caucus. During the same year, the first celebration of Black Catholic History Month began in November in various cities in the United States with the celebration of St. Martin de Porres’ Feast Day. On November 3rd of that year, a liturgy celebrated the 150th anniversary of St. Martin’s transition to eternal life.
In the world today there are more than 200 million people of African descent in the Roman Catholic Church.
Black Catholic History Month is a time for us to celebrate the contributions of Black Catholics to the Roman Catholic tradition.
