Transforming Religious Communities to be Antiracist and Culturally Inviting: Welcoming the Cultural Abundance of African American and Black Catholics

Religious communities must always honor and celebrate their unique charisms, histories, and stories of faith. Still, we cannot become wedded to the past and unwilling to create a new model of community, where we reach out, invite, and welcome women and men of color to enter our institutes and transform them and recreate them while remaining faithful to our living charisms. Are we intentional and deliberate in our vocational mission to invite young people of different cultures to journey with us? This reflection booklet provides a framework for religious institutes and organizations that support vocation ministry to ask difficult questions to welcome and celebrate the cultural abundance of African American and Black Catholics in religious life. This colorful 16-page booklet is also available for bulk orders. please contact the National Office for prices.
