Fr. Tolton is the first recognized black Catholic Priest in America. Augustus Tolton was born and baptized in St. Peter Church in Brush Creek, Missouri. Augustus was the first man known to be black to be ordained to the priesthood in the United States. While he is still largely unknown to most Catholics, the black Catholic community in this country has never forgotten his name.
In 2011 efforts began to canonize Fr. Tolton (1854-1897). The Archdiocese of Chicago has published a book that tells all about the extraordinary Servant of God, who overcame slavery, prejudice and rejection to live out his call to serve God and the Church.
For more information on this book please call 800.933.1800 or visit
www.LTP.org . It is a soft cover-glossy paper-48 pages- 12.4 x 8.8 full color book for $13 plus shipping.

Studies show that one in four females, and one in six males, will be a victim of sexual abuse by the time they reach the age of 18. You can help prevent this from happening. The Diocese of Jefferson City will hold a VIRTUS® Protecting God's Children class on Tuesday, February 23, 2016 at 6:30 pm at St. Thomas More Newman Center, Columbia. The class will be held in the Disciples Room. Participants are encouraged to register in advance at www.virtus.org. Please arrive early so that the class may begin on time. Due to the nature of the subject, children are discouraged from attending.
This program is one component of the overall effort to protect God's children and vulnerable adults. All employees and volunteers with ongoing and unsupervised contact with children and youth are required to attend a Protecting God's Children session. All parents, grandparents and other adults in the parish community are encouraged to attend.
