Archbishop Wilton Gregory, to become the first Black prelate from the United States to earn the coveted red cap. Our brother was picked by Pope Francis to lead the archdiocese in the U.S. capital last year. Archbishop Gregory is a long-time member of the Knights of Peter Claver who has been an ardent supporter of our causes over the years. We are particularly proud of the leadership has provided to the American Catholic Church on issues of race and the dignity of human life. Most recently, he announced the Archdiocese of Washington's new initiative, “Made in God’s Image: Pray and Work to End the Sin of Racism,” which will promote pastoral activities and outreach including prayer, listening sessions, faith formation opportunities and social justice work. We congratulate our brother on this significant milestone on his pastoral journey and for the church at large. About the Knights of Peter Claver - The Knights of Peter Claver, Inc. is the nation’s only African-American Catholic fraternal order and the largest historically black Catholic organization in the world. The Order was founded on November 7, 1909 in Mobile, Alabama for Catholic men of color and now comprises the Catholic Church at large including clergy, women, and youth.

  • 24Th Sunday in Ordinary Time James: 3:16-4:3 Gospel of St
    24th Sunday in Ordinary Time James: 3:16-4:3 Gospel of St. Mark 9: 30-37 Cartagena (located in what is now Columbia South America) was a major port for the arrival of African slaves during the 16th and 17th centuries. Over 10,000 arrived each year and over a third more died during the journey from the wretched conditions on board. Most of those surviving worked the mines and there met inhumane conditions, deplorable even for the standards of those times. St. Peter Claver, a Spanish Jesuit, arrived in Cartagena in 1610. Devoting his time caring for these slaves, he worked tirelessly over a forty year period. Meeting the slave ships upon arrival, he would provide whatever immediate care he had often to those who were worse off. He treated them all with a dignity that baffled most and entertained the rest. He was treated with scorn from both the Cartagena citizenry and at times from his own Jesuit brothers. St. Peter’s own words describe the usual situation. “Numerous blacks brought from the rivers of Africa disembarked from a huge ship. Carrying two baskets of oranges, lemons, sweet biscuits and I know not what else, we hurried toward them. We had to force our way through the crowd until we reached the sick. Large numbers of the sick were lying on the wet ground or rather in puddles of mud… “We pulled some live coals together and placed them in the middle of the dying men…they seemed to recover their warmth and the breath of life.

This October, we traveled to Rome with Jesuits from all over the world for the Society of Jesus’ 36th General Congregation (GC36). This historic meeting was the 36th time the global Society has come together since the first General Congregation in 1558, nearly two years after St. Ignatius died. General Congregations are always summoned upon the death or resignation of the Jesuits’ Superior General, and this year we came together to elect a Jesuit to succeed Fr. Adolfo Nicolás, SJ, who has faithfully served as Superior General since 2008. After prayerful consideration, we elected Fr. Arturo Sosa Abascal, SJ, a Jesuit priest from Venezuela. Father Sosa is warm, friendly, and down-to-earth, with a great sense of humor that puts people at ease. He has offered his many gifts to intellectual, educational, and social apostolates at all levels in service to the Gospel and the universal Church. One of his most impressive achievements came during his time as rector of la Universidad Católica del Táchira, where he helped the student body grow from 4,000 to 8,000 students and gave the university a strong social orientation to study border issues in Venezuela. The Jesuits in Venezuela have deep love and respect for Fr.
