Founded in 1990 by the National Black Catholic Clergy Caucus, Black Catholic History Month runs throughout November each year as an opportunity to highlight the heritage, patrimony, and witness of African American Catholics.
Currently, there are six Black candidates being considered for a possible declaration of sainthood.
