Archbishop of Washington, DC
Wilton Cardinal Gregory, Archbishop of Washington, D.C., presides and preaches at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart for a Eucharist (Mass) concluding the 31st Annual Meeting of the Black Catholic Theological Symposium.
This Vigil Mass for the 28th Sunday in Ordinary Time will highlight the gift of African American sacred song in Catholic liturgy, calling all to heed the call offered to the rich young man in Mark’s gospel to give up every attachment -temporal, spiritual, and social- and follow Jesus as he remakes the world anew.
