Mission/History
The National Black Catholic Apostolate for Life is an all about life from the moment of conception to the natural end of life apostolate. The National Black Catholic Apostolate for Life (NBCAL) is ministry committed to pray, proclaim, educate and stand boldly for an end to abortion, all acts of violence and evil, and all injustice that destroys the sacredness of human life. The Eucharist, the Sacrament of the Body and Blood, Soul, and Divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ is the center, source, and vitality of the National Black Catholic Apostolate for Life. NBCAL is supported by all the major National Black Catholic organizations in the United States. Not all of us are called to bear children, but all of us are called by God to bring others life we have received in Christ Jesus. Therefore, the soul of this apostolate lies in the words of Jesus Christ in Johns gospel: I came so that they might have life and have it more abundantly. (John 10:10).
During his leadership as President of the National
Black Catholic Clergy Caucus

Archdioceses Office of Black Ministry Brother Tyrone A. Davis,
