A Catholic Saint who Bucked Racism

The capture and transport of Africans to work in the "new world" of the Americas as slaves is a tragic story of exploitation. But one character in this historical drama was canonized as a saint. With issue so much in the news, you need to know about this hero. Since it is his feast day today, September 9, why not read a page?

Devotion to the souls in Purgatory contains in itself all the works of mercy, which supernaturalized by a spirit of faith, should merit us Heaven. de Sales
