It's National Black Catholic History Month

Yes, today is All Saints Day, a Holy Day of Obligation to Catholics. Today is also the first day of National Black Catholic History Month.

That means very little to most people, but it means a lot to me.

Surveys indicate that there might be about 275 million Catholics of African descent in the world; I am one.

I'll be posting throughout the month about black (mostly American, I think) Catholics and the black Catholic experience.

Overnight oatmeal!

I was just thinking that I'd like to have oatmeal for breakfast tomorrow morning, and it occurred to me that I hadn't made overnight oats in a while.


I need to rectify that situation immediately.

TGIF

I'm going to greet this Friday morning, after a long week and when I know I'm just a few hours from beginning my weekend, with an extra spring in my step.
