Youth Sunday and Celebration of Saints of Color, Black History Month - Part 1 ~ Photos and Description by EJCooley

On Sunday, February 17, 2019, Fr. Jim, assisted by Deacon Chris, celebrated Mass with the youth of St. Elizabeth, the Liturgy participants.

Many of our youth graciously served as greeters, ushers, Lectors and Cantor/choir member.

Our Altar Servers were Heather and Miranda.  Our Umoja families presented the gifts.

Our youth introduced us to many of our Saints of Color, such as:

St. Tekakwitha - Kayden

St. Pierre Toussaint - Miles

St. Benedict the Moor - Isaiah

St. Moses the Black - Deshawn

Mother Mary Lang - Jerimah

St. Josephine - Lyric

Fr. Augustus Tolton - Fabrice

Special thanks to Liz, Eva, Kim, Fr. Jim and the parents of the children and teens who participated.

We are especially proud of the youth of St. Elizabeth, who prepared themselves for this spirit-filled day. Thank you to Jerimah, Isaiah, Fen, Brennan, Khady, Antionette, Thad, Lyric, Fabrice, Colin, Eva, Kayden, Sam, Deshawn, Carter, MeMe, Heather, Miles, Benjamin and Joshua!
