The National Catholic Committee on Scouting offers programs to help young people and their families learn and live their faith.
Our Footsteps of the Saints program teaches young people about holy men and women who have lived heroic lives of virtue.
Venerable Pierre Toussaint (1766-1853) was born in Haiti as a slave and died a free man in New York. He is known for his entrepreneurship and generosity towards the poor. He is credited by many with being the father of Catholic Charities in New York. Pierre was instrumental in raising funds for the first Catholic orphanage and began the city’s first school for black children. During a Yellow Fever epidemic when many of the city’s political leaders fled the city in search of healthier rural climates, Pierre Toussaint cared for the sick and the dying. He was a successful entrepreneur, who did not hesitate to share the fruits of his labor with others.
Our presenter will be Deacon Mel Tardy, a permanent deacon in the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend (Indiana). Deacon Mel works at the University of Notre Dame, and he is a popular presenter throughout our diocese. He is also the president of the National Black Catholic Clergy Caucus. He is on the boards of the National Black Catholic Congress, the National Association of Black Catholic Deacons, and the African American Vocations Committee of the National Religious Vocation Conference.
During November, when we celebrate National Black Catholic History month, we invite you to join Deacon Mel for his presentation on Sunday, November 7th, 4-5pm. You can register by entering your email here. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfsf1T11u6IMnKnyVz3fqiJ3YFM3LwU7LlLdp0L_DmPCnQ6ig/viewform
