Bishop David A. Zubik is asking the faithful to observe a Day of Prayer and Fasting for Racial Reconciliation on Wednesday, September 9, 2020, the feast day of St. Peter Claver, patron of interracial justice.
The Catholic Church has always held that every human being, regardless of his or her skin color, is made in the image and likeness of God, and therefore, has intrinsic value and worth. Racism destroys that dignity that God bestows. It has no place in our societies or in our hearts.
Be assured of our continued prayers for you and your family every day.
God bless you.
-The Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh
