Institute for Black Catholic Studies to host online program
12:00am-12:00am
Fort Wayne
The Institute for Black Catholic Studies is a graduate theology program and school of pastoral ministry that meets each summer on the campus of Xavier University of Louisiana. Due to COVID-19, the IBCS will take its collaborative learning environment rooted in academic study, community life, prayer and worship online for 2020. The Institute’s mission is to form culturally competent Christian disciples — scholars, administrators, clergy and religious, seminarians, parish and diocesan ministers, church volunteers and the faithful — to effectively evangelize African Americans in the 21st century. Past faculty include the late Rev. Cyprian Davis, OSB, and Servant of God Sr. Thea Bowman. This year’s dates are June 28-July 17. Find out more at www.xula.edu/ibcs or 504-520-7691.
