A Gathering of Stories of Remembrance
Were you (or someone you know) a member of one of the closed Black Catholic churches and/or schools in the Diocese of Richmond and have a story to tell?
The first phase of Virginia Catholics for Racial Justice Power of Story Project is to preserve and share the stories of Black Catholics in our diocese. Our priority is the stories of those who were members of the 13 closed Black parishes in the Catholic Diocese of Richmond.

Our Story
Birthed out of the small groups of JustFaith Ministries’ racial justice modules, Virginia Catholics for Racial Justice is a network of people across the Diocese of Richmond who have moved from conversation to action.
Our grassroots ministry engages in an inclusive, welcoming, and on-going process to form and transform us into anti-racist individuals, and to build an anti-racist church.
We are guided by our faith, our experiences, discernment, relationship building at all levels, identification of strengths, affirmation of gifts, and the movement of the Holy Spirit to lead us to transformative action.
