Today's podcast is part two of a two-part conversation with members of the Social Justice Committee at St. Ann's Catholic Church in Baltimore, Maryland.
Join host Marsha Thrall, and guests Delores Moore, Ralph Moore, and Mary Sewell as they discuss St. Ann's initiative of Santo Subito (or "Saint right away") canonization for six African American candidates for sainthood.
This initiative has received national attention and has been the focus of a November 2021 Washington Post article.
