Bishop Robert Brennan described the Black History Month Mass at St. Thérèse Lisieux Church as an “uplifting” opportunity to be together, noting the Church symbolizes family, and, therefore, Catholics must stand together in solidarity when a member is discriminated against.
Heritage and faith were celebrated in unison on Sunday, Feb. 25, as the Diocese of Brooklyn recognized its diversity during the Mass of Thanksgiving for Black History Month. Energized Catholics of all cultures filled the pews of Immaculate Conception Church for the service, organized by the Vicariate Office of Black Catholic Concerns.
