On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, ordinarily, I would have gone to St. Katharine Drexel Parish for their annual Prayer Breakfast to celebrate Dr. King s legacy. This year, however, I was happy to join them online for their virtual celebration, which was hosted by the pastor, Father Oscar Pratt.
There were a small number of people at the parish itself though many more joined us via Zoom.

DORCHESTER St. Katharine Drexel Parish traditionally celebrates the legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. with a prayer breakfast featuring music, a keynote speaker, and readings of excerpts from Dr. King s speeches. This year, due to the coronavirus pandemic, instead of gathering for a meal, the parish held its 36th annual commemoration of Dr. King in a virtual format on Jan. 18, with approximately 100 people participating via Zoom.
