There were people of many ages, races, and religions, but we were united in our goal of speaking out in sup- port of fair immigration reform. Many of us brought our families, there were signs in both English and Spanish, and the mood was optimistic as we tried to make our voices heard in Washington – even as our Senators brought the debate on this important issue to the Sunday political talk shows. Carrying signs that read, “We love the USA,” “The USA was built by immigrants,” and my favorite, “No man is illegal,” the group cheered and applauded as local religious leaders and human rights advocates took turns on a stage decorated in red, white, and blue. Father Stan Puryear, pastor at St. Joseph, was the first to speak. After greeting those present in eight languages, Father Stan said, “I am here today as an American, and I am here today as the descendant of immigrants.” He called for our leaders to recognize that they too are the children of immigrants who came for the same reasons as today’s immigrants: to escape fear, persecution, corruption and economic injustices, and to seek freedom, hope, and a better life for those who follow. In his conclusion, Kristie Lowry holding her son, Jon, and Father Stan Puryear at the Bowl- Father Stan said, “We are here to ask the leaders of our government to look at this ing Green Justice Center rally on April 2.

Dolan Kenrick-Glennon Seminary Archdiocese of St. Louis Archbishop Gerety Lecture at Seton Hall University, October 15, 1992 "Hence we cheerfully sent one who should represent Our Person..." wrote Pope Leo XII in his encyclical Longinqua Oceani1 to the Church of the United States, January 6, 1895, referring to the appointment of the first apostolic delegate, Archbishop Francesco Satolli, just two years previous. That January 21, 1993, will be the centennial of this event suggested the topic of this year's Archbishop Gerety Lecture, "A Century of Papal Representation in the United States." Thank you for the invitation to be part of this distinguished lecture series. For the record, I have dedicated this meagre effort to the preeminent church historian of the United States, Monsignor John Tracy Ellis, my teacher, mentor and friend who, at 87, is now recuperating from hip surgery in Washington, D.C. May the Lord of Truth whom he has served so diligently be close to him in his recovery. I propose to develop this topic under five points. First, I will treat the way the Holy See approached America prior to Archbishop Satolli's appointment; secondly, I will consider the give-and-take surrounding his nomination in 1893; then will come a staccato-like overview of the comings-and-goings of his 10 successors; fourthly, I will take a look at just what, in general, the delegates have done, offering two examples of their activities; and, finally, I will conclude with a segment on the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Holy See and the government of the United States.

By consecrating their lives to God in a society that deemed all black people immoral, black Catholic sisters provided a powerful refutation to the racist stereotypes used by white supremacists and paternalists to exclude African Americans from the ranks of religious life and full citizenship rights. By dedicating their labors to the educational and social uplift of the largely neglected black community, black sisters challenged the Church and the nation to live up to the full promises of democracy and Catholicism. Yet, their lives and labors remain largely invisible in the annals of American and religious history. This is especially true of their efforts in the twentieth century, when black sisters pried opened the doors of Catholic higher education, desegregated several historically white congregations, and helped to launch the greatest black Catholic revolt in American history. This dissertation unearths the hidden history of black Catholic sisters in the fight for racial and educational justice in the twentieth century.
