Black Catholic Mission

“Still We Rise” in Wilmington, a commemoration and celebration of Juneteenth at St. Elizabeth Church.

On Sunday, June 23, 2024, was Monsignor Chanel's last Mass at Saint James Catholic Church. Monsignor Chanel served our community with a caring, compassionate, understanding heart for nine years.

The month of June is dedicated to celebration and programs to accompany the youth of our Church and this rural community of Camden, Mississippi. We initiated the 1st Annual Pray & Play Tournament at Sacred Heart Church.

After submitting their 1st semester grades, Pierre Toussaint Scholars, with the generous support of the Black and Indian Mission Fund, received their scholarship awards.

The Dioceses of Birmingham every year around the springtime host an annual retreat for the youth called Kujenga.

At Saint James Catholic School we started the eighth-grade students' farewell. We began celebrating their success with an award ceremony dinner, where they shared their gratitude and achievements with their proud parents and school staff.
