Mass of Thanksgiving of Father Augustus Tolton Declaration as Venerable - POSTPONED
6:00pm-8:30pm
South Bend
Cost: Free
Due to the outbreak of COVID-19, this event has been postponed. A new date is TBD.
A Mass of Thanksgiving is being held at St. Augustine Catholic Church on Wednesday, April 1, at 6 p.m., at St. Augustine Church, 1501 W Washington, St., celebrating Pope Francis’ declaration of Father Augustus Tolton as “venerable.” He is the first African American priest to receive this designation and it puts Father Tolton a step closer to possible sainthood.
