The Office of Black Catholic Ministries

Sharing the Gospel and promoting evangelization in the Black American community.

What we do

The Office of Black Catholic Ministries fosters the rich diversity of the Black Catholic Community within the Archdiocese of Baltimore. Its mission is to evangelize, enhance and celebrate the contributions of persons of African descent and the gifts they have to offer the Church and society. The office seeks to be a representative body composed of laity, religious and clergy dedicated to fostering the spiritual, educational, economic and cultural lives of persons of African descent in the archdiocese, reaching out to Catholics and non-Catholics, those who are active in the church as well as the un-churched. The Office of Black Catholic Ministries cooperates with the bishops, parish and archdiocesan leadership bodies, offices and agencies to carry out its evangelizing mission.

“Return to me with your whole heart, with fasting, and weeping and mourning.” – Joel 2:12 ✝️

Today on Ash Wednesday, we begin our Lenten journey with a call not just to change our habits — but to change our hearts. God invites us into something deeper. A full return. A sincere surrender. A wholehearted “yes.”

Fasting humbles us.
Weeping softens us.
Mourning awakens us.

This is not about perfection — it’s about coming back to the Father with honesty, repentance, and trust in His mercy.

As the ashes mark our foreheads, may they also mark a new beginning in our souls. Let this be the season we truly return to Him — with our whole heart. ❤️
