LD “Martin de Porres, Tolton, Thea Bowman -- these people didn’t look at themselves as victims, but as children of God, with gifts to offer and gifts to bring to the church,” Msgr. Britto said. “Our music, our worship, our understanding of Scripture, our care for the poor: We share our gifts and our victories.” To that list, Father Thorne added “fam- ily, community and joy,” as well as “a real sense of reconciliation” -- born of centuries of tragedy, such as the June 2015 mass shooting of congregants at Mother Emanuel A.M.E. Church in Charleston, South Caro- lina. Days after the massacre, vic- tims’ family members appeared in court for the bond hearing of gunman Dylann Roof, and said they forgave him. “That speaks to the heart of AfricanAmer- ican spirituality,” said Father Thorne, and to “a church that needs to be a home, with ev- erybody at the same table.” Christian is a senior content producer for CatholicPhilly.com, the news website of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. Black Catholic Spirituality From page 3 St. Clare Parish, Waveland St. Clare Church celebrated The Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christi, Corpus Christi, with a procession of the Holy Eucharist followed by Adoration on the church grounds. St. Clare’s Knights of Columbus led the procession.

This effort is also part of a broader Knights of Columbus project of “Leave No Neighbor Behind.” The goal for the collection was 100 pounds of beans, and when the drive ended on Sunday evening, June 28, the Knights had collected just under 500 pounds of beans.” To advertise in the Gulf Pine Catholic, call 228-702-2109 for more information.
