Please pray for all children, that they may know, love and serve God and their neighbor. Servant of God, Mary Lange, please pray for us! Amen.

Worse yet, there have been Christians, Black and White, Protestant and even Catholic, who regard Catholicism as a "white church." Amazingly enough, these myths and misconceptions remain entrenched in some people's minds… Some people forget that Christianity did not originate in Europe and even express surprise when they learn that Black Catholic History began in the Acts of the Apostles (8: 26-40) with the conversion of the Ethiopian Eunuch by Philip the Deacon.

  • Breslaw, Elaine G. and Joan A. Andersen. "Elizabeth Clovis Lange, C1784-1882: Black Religious Leader."
    208 NOTABLE MARYLAND WOMEN ELIZABETH CLOVIS LANGE, c 1784-1882 Black Religious Leader ELAINE G. BRESLAW and JOAN A. ANDERSEN On July 2,1828, in a house on Richmond Street in Baltimore, the religious congregation now known as the Oblate Sisters of Providence officially be- gan, the first black Roman Catholic order in the United States. Very little is known about the birth and early life of its founder and superior general, Elizabeth Clovis Lange. She was probably born in Cuba, some believe in Santiago. Her mother, Annette Lange, was the natural daughter to Mar- doche Lange, a Jewish plantation owner in Jeremie, Haiti. Her father, Clovis, carried the same family name of Lange and probably was a former slave of Mardoche Lange. Clovis and Annette Lange emigrated to Cuba from Haiti sometime before the Haitian revolution led by the Negro general Toussaint rOuverture. Where and under what circumstances the young Elizabeth received her education is also a mystery, but her later activities as a teacher indicate that her training was more than adequate. For some reason, not clear, Annette Lange with her daughter, Elizabeth, left Cuba to come to the United States. Clovis Lange did not come with them. They landed in Charleston, South Carolina, where they stayed for a short time before moving on to Norfolk, Virginia, and finally to Baltimore. Annette Lange soon returned to the West Indies, but Elizabeth, now a mature woman, remained in Baltimore. Baltimore's French-speaking peoples were refugees from the French Rev- olution, coming either from France or from the French island possessions in the West Indies.

Introduction for Teachers Women & Spirit: Catholic Sisters in America is an American history story and a womenʼs history story. This teachers guide and the traveling exhibit it is based on present the innovative women whose passion for justice helped shape our nationʼs social and cultural landscape. Since first arriving in America nearly 300 years ago, sisters established schools, colleges, hospitals, orphanages, homeless shelters, and many other enduring social institutions that addressed critical social needs. As nurses, teachers, and social workers, sisters entered professional ranks decades earlier than most other women. Their work provided blueprints for the nationʼs educational and healthcare systems that continue to serve millions of Americans from all walks of life. Religious commitment is integral to the story of Catholic sisters, and their spiritual life calls them to respond to those who are in need. Women & Spirit focuses on sistersʼ achievements in working with communities they have served. The exhibit brings to light hundreds of unsung heroes and documents a vital and significant perspective on American history.
