National Day of Prayer
for the
African-American Family
Sunday, February 5 The
National Day of Prayer for the African American and African Family was
created by Fr. James Goode, OFM in 1989. It is a day set aside to give
special thanks to God for our families and place our every care in the
arms of Jesus. Activities:
- Worship together at the Eucharistic Table and pray as a family.
- Celebrate a meal together and tell your family story
- Set aside some time to read the Family Bible. Pray to the Blessed Virgin, for the needs of all families throughout the world.
- Pray in solidarity with our African sisters and brothers in the Motherland.

The
St. Joseph Society of the Sacred Heart, (The Josephites) is a
congregation of priests and brothers whose exclusive mission is to the
African American community. Founded after the Civil War to minister to
newly freed slaves, the organization has served the African American
community since 1871 and is one of only two orders of priests who
minister only in the United States. The Society serves in over 40
parishes, one high school and several elementary schools; spanning seven
states and the District of Columbia. |
