National Black Catholic Clergy Caucus (NBCCC) Potential Black SaintsMember's DirectoryMission Statement
As a fraternal organization dedicated to the spiritual, theological, educational, and ministerial growth of Black Catholic clergy, religious and seminarians, we serve the people of God — particularly the members of the Black community — in order to more effectively meet their spiritual and social needs.
Formation of NBCCC
In April 1968, amidst a growing sense of Black Nationalism and facing widespread riots and disillusionment in the wake of the assassination of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., roughly half of the then-150 Black Catholic clergy met separately at the Catholic Clergy Conference on the Interracial Apostolate — the first time the nation’s Black Catholic Clergy had ever gathered as one body.
