Throughout October, we will be commemorating Black History Month by sharing inspiring stories of Black saints and holy people across our Instagram and Facebook platforms. This initiative is run in collaboration with the Archdiocese of Southwark’s Commission for Promoting Racial and Cultural Inclusion.
Each week, we are highlighting the lives of saints and holy people whose journeys embody resilience, faith, dignity and a steadfast commitment to justice and love. Their powerful witness continues to inspire communities across generations.
This series is part of Caritas Southwark’s broader mission to support racial justice and inclusion within parishes and communities. To aid this work at the grassroots level, we encourage you to explore the Commission’s Racial Justice Toolkit — a free, practical resource designed to help individuals and groups take meaningful action locally.
