MEMORIAL OF PETER CLAVER, PRIEST
Call it out
Saint Peter Claver (1580-1654) was a Jesuit priest dedicated to baptizing and serving enslaved Africans in Cartagena, Colombia, a major slave-trade port.

How can we and our communities of faith challenge the enduring legacy of racism today, inspired by Claver’s witness of service and the gospel mandate to love?
