Born a slave in Missouri, Fr. Augustine Tolton became the first African-American priest in the U.S., where he was much loved by the people and showed great priestly zeal. This story of Fr. Tolton’s courage in the face of incredible prejudice within the Church and society will be a source of strength and hope for modern Christians who face persecution for their faith. Also included is an interview with Bishop Joseph Perry, in which he outlines the ongoing cause for the canonization of Fr. Tolton.

    First to see that the humanity of the Church is not immune to the humanity of the world, however it is able to quickly course correct to the foundational teachings of Jesus and correct its errors.

    Prior to the talk, I knew nothing about Augustine Tolton other than he was a black priest. It definitely benefited me as an African American man who, at one time, thought about the priesthood. Though I feel I now have a calling as a composer of classical music and personal ministry to those who have been abused by racist systems perpetuated by the Church, business institutions and higher education; I feel encouraged that if Tolton can endure what he endured because of the calling of his heart, so can I.
