The primary purpose of the National Black Catholic Clergy
Caucus (NBCCC) is to serve God and when we serve him we allow God to speak and act through us. We serve as the voice
of those who are at the bottom of our society. We struggle with our brothers and sisters and our collective hope is
the struggle. We take a fundamental stand against the ills of society that produce the ditches that the poorest people
inhabit. We stand in solidarity with them and serve as a voice crying out in the wilderness for social justice. We
work to transform the minds and consciousness of the weak and powerless and have a special proclivity for our African
American Brothers and Sisters. We provide fish when we can and point them to where the fish are when we can’t. We teach
the folks we serve how to fish for themselves. We reach back in our history from Africa through the Diaspora and we
celebrate our giftedness and our identity and our spirit of survival. We celebrate our liturgies and our lives and we
do whatever is necessary to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ through our Words, our Sacraments and our Lives.
Our membership is comprised of Black Catholic ordained
Clergy (priests and permanent deacons), religious brothers and seminarians. We stand on the shoulders of our founding
fathers that birthed this organization during the civil rights movement in 1968. We are a fraternity which nurtures
and supports our membership. We provide leadership training and mentoring for our seminarians and our deacon candidates
and religious brothers in their formation process. We are committed to taking care of the spiritual needs of our African
American brothers and sisters. Our celebration is holistic and this is expressed in the joy and spirit of our liturgies
and the character of our ministries.
