The month of November is set aside to celebrate the accomplishments and faithfulness of Black Catholics from the very beginnings of the Church.

Did you know that of the over one billion Roman Catholics in the world today, at least 20% (200 Million) are Black?  Africa alone has over 130 Million Black Catholics AND the largest Catholic Church building in the world is in Africa, (the Cathedral in Yamoussoukro).
