St. Benedict the Moor Parish

Black History Month is an annual celebration of achievements by African Americans and a time for recognizing their central role in U.S. history. Also known as African American History Month, the event grew out of “Negro History Week,” the brainchild of noted historian Carter G. Woodson and other prominent African Americans.  

President Gerald Ford officially recognized Black History Month in 1976, calling upon the public to “seize the opportunity to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history.” Read more>>>

The Disciple Maker Index survey that St. Benedict the Moor Parish will be participating in will be active from February 22 (Ash Wednesday) to March 31. The parish-wide survey conducted by the Catholic Leadership Institute focuses on discipleship. It will ask you to reflect on your own spiritual growth and enable you to provide feedback on our parish’s efforts to help you grow. All responses will be confidential and the parish will only receive information about the community as a whole.

All parishioners are asked to participate in the 10-15 minute survey online. We will share the link with you a bit closer to the February 22 launch of the survey. A paper copy will be available in the gathering area of the church for those who prefer paper. To make special arrangements for getting a paper copy mailed to you, please contact Priscilla Davis in the Parish Office at 412.281.3141.
