The 12th Annual Rosary Walk Jubilee 2025 Pilgrimage of Hope was beautiful! We celebrated the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. We continued our prayers for Catholic Education in all Parishes, especially our Parishes serving predominantly Black communities. If we can get these schools reopened with the Josephite foundation, where all children of all races, Catholic and non-Catholic, will be welcome, the hope for our future will be realized.
Please share our prayer, while we’re talking about Catholic Schools, that Archbishop Emeritus Rodi will recommend to Archbishop Rivituso to recognize MPHoM as the Catholic School it has always been (for over 120 years) and will always be for generations to come.
MPHoM has always served an African American Community that is over 80% non Catholic and generated conversions over the century at phenomenal rates, including priests, religious, world leaders, etc. Bishops like the late Bishop Howze, the first Bishop of Biloxi (Archbishop Rodi’s predecessor) and the Venerable and Servants of God like Sr. Thea Bowman, have passed through and touched this Josephite Catholic School.
The Dept of Multicultural Ministry is making great strides in the Hispanic Community. They have always had a Director for the Hispanic Ministry under Fr. Victor. We should ask him to have a Director for the Black Catholic Ministry (BCM) to be recommended by the Inter-Parish Council. Ask Mrs. Elizabeth Levins, as the last IPC President, to lead the initiative, with any IPC members still available, in order to have a member from each of the 14 Black Parishes, to recommend a Director to the Archbishop and Fr. Victor.
The main goal of the BCM should be to recognize Most Pure Heart of Mary as the Catholic School it has been for over 120 years, and will always be; and to keep open and reopen Catholic Schools in each of the 14 Parishes serving African American communities.

Happy feast day of Our Lady of Guadalupe!

In 1531, the Blessed Mother appeared four times to St. Juan Diego asking for a church to be built in her honor. The last time she appeared to him, on Dec. 12, 1531, she arranged roses in his tilma, which he then took to the bishop. When he opened his cloak, the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe was miraculously present on the tilma.

Our Lady of Guadalupe is profoundly significant as a powerful symbol of Mexican identity, unity and faith. She represents the blending of Indigenous and Catholic cultures and serves as the patroness of Mexico and the Americas! Our Lady of Guadalupe, pray for us!

… Also, let’s talk about a $100 Million 5-10 years Josephite/Knights of Peter Claver/Mobile Area Inter-Parish Council-Black Catholic Ministry Capital Campaign. That’s $5 million to restore/reopen/build a Catholic school in each of the 14 historically Black Catholic Parishes in the Archdiocese of Mobile, and $30 million for Most Pure Heart of Mary High School closed in 1968 to force desegregation. This is comparable to the $20 million campaign for a Student Center at McGill-Toolen and over $20 million campaign for the new St. Michael in 2016; as well as the $30 million Generations of Faith - Endowing Our Future with Hope campaign; and $5 million campaign for a football field at St. Michael in 2020 — during a pandemic — when they barely had enough students for a football team.
The 12th Annual Rosary Walk Jubilee 2025 Pilgrimage of Hope was beautiful. We continued our prayers for Catholic Education in all Parishes, especially our Parishes serving predominantly Black communities. If we can get these schools reopened with the Josephite foundation, where all children of all races, Catholic and non-Catholic, will be welcome, the hope for our future will be realized…

A Catholic education is something a lot of parents want for their kids, but you might not know where to start, or if it’s out of reach financially. No problem! Join us tonight for a no pressure filled-informative discussion. Share with anyone who you feel have questions! We’d love to have you!! Give us a few minutes, and we’ll give you a lifetime of information!

His Holiness Pope Leo XIV, Congratulations! It was already so providential that the first American Pope would be multi racial with immigrant and African blood from New Orleans…a descendant of slaves that built and fought for this Nation. Now to find out you were ordained a Priest on June 19th, Juneteenth, is God’s sign to all that it was Divine Intervention that you would be Pope…the fulfillment of God’s Promise: ”the last shall be first…”
You may only have one drop of African blood in you but, all you need is one drop…because that is the blood of Jesus. We love you and we’re praying for you constantly. Please pray for us. Blessings on Juneteenth… https://www.facebook.com/share/p/18nV5a5Eeo/?mibextid=WC7FNe

Today, we join in celebrating Pope Leo's 43rd Anniversary of his Ordination to the Priesthood on June 19, 1982. Let us pray for his continued strength and guidance as he leads the Church.

Then Most Pure Heart of Mary (MPHoM) will host the Legion of Mary Annual General Reunion (AGR) Rosary 9:30 a.m. and AGR Mass 10 a.m.
