Black Catholics - Catholic Communities of Oak Park and Neighbors
The Catholic Communities of Oak Park celebrate the diversity and cultural richness of the Black Catholic community through many events throughout the year. The deep faith, rich history, and crucial contributions to the Catholic faith and tradition by Black Catholics since the very beginning of the church.
While each and every Sunday celebrates the diversity of our community, the annual African American Heritage Celebration organized by the worshipping community St. Catherine-St. Lucy church is a treasured celebration full of love, joy, honor, and music. During Black History Month and Black Catholic History Month, special presentations and events lift up the voice of Black Catholics.
