  • After 60 Years, the First New Catholic School Opens in Baltimore City
    After 60 Years, the First New Catholic School Opens in Baltimore City New School to Serve Over 500 Students with State-of-the-Art Facility BALTIMORE– July 8, 2021 – Mother Mary Lange Catholic School, the first new Catholic school built in Baltimore City by the Archdiocese of Baltimore in nearly 60 years, will celebrate the opening with a ribbon cutting and blessing ceremony on Friday, August 6 at 9 a.m. Archbishop William E. Lori along with community leaders and city and state officials will formally open the doors to the school that will welcome more than 400 students this September. The new 65,000 square feet educational complex is located at 200 N.

  • Mother Mary Lange
    Mother Mary Lange Prayer intercession for the Servant of God Mary Elizabeth Lange Servant of God Mary Lange, please pray for racial reconciliation and peace in the United States. 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. Wikimedia Commons, Public Domain Servant of God Mary Lange (1784-1882) founded the Oblate Sisters of Providence. This religious community allowed African American women to enter religious life. Lange died on February 3, 1882, and was buried in the Cathedral Cemetery. Her remains were transferred to New Cathedral Cemetery on February 6, 1882. On May 28, 2013, Mother Mary Lange was exhumed and transferred to the home of the Oblate Sisters of Providence, where she was laid to rest in their chapel. The feast day of Mother Mary Lange is February 03, the date of her death. Archbishop William E. Lori led an Oct. 23, 2019 groundbreaking ceremony for Mother Lange Catholic School — the first new Catholic elementary school to be built in Baltimore City in nearly six decades. The school is named in honor of Mother Mary Lange, founder of the Baltimore-based Oblate Sisters of Providence (the first religious community of women of African American descent) and St. Frances Academy in East Baltimore (the first Catholic school in the United States for children of color). Mother Mary Lange Catholic School will be the new home for current students of Holy Angels Catholic School, located on the campus of the former Seton Keough High School in Southwest Baltimore and Ss.

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.
