African American presence in The TOC's?

Post by Justice »

I've never been to any TOC's but is there ever an African American presence there?

I recently baptized an African-American man in our mission.

All our parishes in the USA have a very rich racial diversity, which is what Christ wanted by calling the Gentiles. A gentleman from Haiti recently celebrated his baptism and was married in our Arizona parish. He invited his entire family to come to San Diego for the wedding ceremony because he wanted to show them the beautiful Pacific Ocean city and coast.

We have Native American Indians, Hispanics, Blacks, Filipinos, Asians, Lebanese, Armenian, Russians, Greeks, etc.

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.
