Our Mission Statement
In order to ensure the participation of Catholics of African Ancestry in every facet of diocesan life, the purpose of the ministry shall be to:
1 - Serve the spiritual, cultural, educational, and social needs of Catholics of African Ancestry in the diocese;
2 - Encourage further insight and understanding by the church of these needs;
 3 - Foster vocations to the priesthood, religious life, and deaconate;
4 - Stimulate the development and training of lay leaders, especially youth and young adults, of African ancestry to assume leadership roles at the parish and diocesan levels.
5 - Promote spiritual and liturgical rites that are synonymous with and culturally akin to people of African ancestry; and
6 - Work to identify and eliminate the seeds of racism that seriously affect relationships between Catholics of African Ancestry and those who are not.
