St. Thomas the Apostle Parish in Chicago has received a $1 million grant from the Lilly Endowment to help establish a new spirituality center named for Fr. Augustus Tolton, the first U.S. Catholic priest publicly known to be Black.
Inspired by Tolton s legacy and spirituality, the Tolton Spirituality Center will look for opportunities to create programs to benefit people in Chicago, said Norbertine Fr. Canon A. Gerard Jordan, the center s executive director. The center will also facilitate educational exchanges between parish leaders in the Chicago Archdiocese and beyond, and lead conversations about racial injustice.
