40th Anniversary of What We Have Seen and Heard | Cardinal Wilton Gregory | Homily

Join Cardinal Wilton Gregory, Archbishop of Washington, as he celebrates Mass in honor of the 40th Anniversary of the publishing of 'WHAT WE HAVE SEEN AND HEARD' A Pastoral Letter on Evangelization From the Black Bishops of the United States, from St Joseph's Catholic Church in Largo, MD.
On September 9, 1984, the ten Black Bishops of the United States published this document as a witness to the Black community. The bishops sought to explain that evangelization is both a call and a response, it is not only preaching but witnessing. In 1984, there were ten African American bishops and over two hundred African American diocesan and religious priests serving in the United States. The African American bishops at that time acknowledged that the African American community was making its way in the Catholic Church and had a good deal to offer as one among many constituent groups in the broad ethnic and racial portrait of the Church in the United States.
