Thursday, November 3, from 7-8:15 p.m. in The Murray Center at Our Lady of the Assumption Catholic Church (OLA), 1350 Hearst Drive, Brookhaven, GA 30319.
The Tolton Ambassadors of the Archdiocese of Atlanta respectfully seek your assistance with the Cause for Canonization of the Venerable Fr. Augustus Tolton (1854-1897). Fr. Tolton, born a slave on April 1, 1854, baptized and reared Catholic, is recognized as the first priest of full African descent in America. He served in Quincy and Chicago, Illinois, after having received his training in Rome. No seminary in the United States would accept him. OLA is excited to be hosting the one-man play, Tolton from Slave to Priest, to share the story of an extraordinary man. The play is suitable for ages 10 older. Tickets are $10.
