Black Catholic Advisory Circle Conference 2025 – The Eucharist for Inclusion and Healing

All are welcome to join us at St. Paul Catholic Church for a day of reflection, prayer, learning and community as we explore how the Eucharist fosters inclusion and healing and unites us as brothers and sisters in Christ. Gather with us to hear inspiring speakers proclaim how we are all drawn together as the Body of Christ, through the Eucharist, and end the day with a Mass celebrated by Fr. Scott Connolly. “For we, though many, are one body, for we all partake of the one bread.” – 1 Corinthians 10:17
