Augustus Tolton was born into slavery, became a priest, and ministered to the poor. By John J. Miller, printed in the Wall Street Journal June 19, 2020
When Augustus Tolton prepared to take his vows as a Catholic priest in 1886, he assumed that he would leave Rome for missionary work in Africa. Then a cardinal told him that he was bound for Illinois. Tolton was astonished: "Must I go back to America, where I was not wanted as a priest?" Born into slavery on a Missouri farm in 1854, Tolton grew up to become America's first black Catholic priest. He attended seminary abroad because none in the U.S. would take him.
Leaving for Italy in 1880, he thought he never would return to his native country. The archdiocese of Chicago took up the cause for his canonization a decade ago. Last year Pope Francis declared Tolton "venerable," meaning he led a life of heroic virtue and is one step closer to sainthood. As racial turmoil divides the U.S., Tolton's cause may gain momentum. On June 4, Bishop Earl Boyea of Lansing—a Michigan diocese that has no historical connection to Tolton—called for six days of prayer and fasting for racial reconciliation as well as "the canonization of 'Good Father Gus' as a model of saintliness and solidarity in the face of racial injustice and social division." On July 9, the anniversary of Tolton's death in 1897, Bishop Boyea will hold a special mass for Tolton's canonization. "That's exactly what we need: more prayer warriors," says Chicago's Auxiliary Bishop Joseph Perry, one of America's few black bishops as well as Tolton's postulator. Overseeing panels of historians and theologians, he has submitted more than 4,000 pages of documents on Tolton to the Vatican. The first record of Tolton's life is in the baptismal register of St. Peter's Church, a few miles west of Hannibal, Mo., the boyhood home of Mark Twain. Hannibal also is the place where Tolton's father was sold at a slave auction. Although a link between Twain and the senior Tolton is entirely speculative, they were contemporaries. It's tempting to imagine a connection that shaped the moral imagination of the author who would invent American literature's greatest interracial friendship in "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn." During the Civil War, Tolton's father escaped from slavery and enlisted in the Union army. He died at a military hospital in Arkansas in 1864. Tolton's mother also fled from bondage, hopping aboard the Underground Railroad with her three children, including the 7-year-old future Father Gus. They settled among the German-born Catholics

LAUDATO SI CARING FOR OUR COMMON HOME.
Genesis 2:15 tells us that God settled man in the Garden of Eden to cultivate and care for it. In Laudato Si’, Pope Francis reiterates this truth when he says, “our relationship with the environment can never be isolated from our relationship
with others and with God.” (119) Woven through the message of Laudto Si’ is the message that environmental justice = social justice. Racial inequality, poverty and climate change are all interconnected and crying out for healing. Though the task before us may feel overwhelming, every journey starts with a single step. That first step begins with self-examination. There’s an old saying, “If you want your children to follow in your footsteps, be careful where you put your feet.” So where are you putting your feet?
Sometime this week, go outside, remove your shoes, close your eyes, and let your feet truly feel the earth beneath you. As your feet take in the sensations all around them, reflect on where your feet take you each day. Are you ready to take your feet down a new path? If we are to make lasting changes in our world, we must first cultivate a mindset that is more aware of “where we put our feet.” This shift in focus will help us to act more lovingly towards our planet and the people with whom we share it.

of Quincy, Ill. The faithful family attended Mass but also encountered bigotry: When Tolton enrolled in a parish school, white parents protested and drove him out. As Tolton grew into manhood, he worked in a cigar factory and continued to attend church. Father Peter McGirr noticed his fidelity and asked if he had considered the priesthood. "I am a Negro, and I can be what you are?" Tolton replied, according to his biographer, Sister Caroline Hemesath. "I don't see why not," McGirr answered. Lots of others did. No seminary in the country accepted Tolton. This prompted McGirr and others to instruct Tolton until a college in Rome finally enrolled him. He was ordained in 1886. Tolton returned to Quincy, where he became a figure of curiosity as people of all races and denominations attended his church. Many admired his strong singing voice. He also clashed with a local priest, who thought Tolton should minister only to black Catholics. Frustrated, Tolton requested a transfer to Chicago. He moved there in 1889 and helped lead the development of St. Monica's Church, where he eventually ministered to an impoverished congregation of 600 African-Americans. He still faced discrimination from priests who supported segregation in the pews. Yet Tolton became known for his devotion to the destitute. At 43, in 105-degree weather, Tolton suffered from heat stroke and died. America's first black priest isn't the only candidate to become the first American-born black person to achieve canonization. Henriette DeLille of New Orleans also is venerable. The next step for both is beatification, which calls for the verification of a miracle. Beyond that is sainthood, which requires a second miracle. "We ask Tolton's intercession for the healing of our nation as he sought in his own priesthood to bring white and black together but suffered indignities in that effort," Bishop Perry says. At a time when it feels as if America could use a miracle or two, Father Tolton may be the saint it needs.
At the beginning of this pandemic our Holy Father asked us to commit to praying the rosary with him every day. SJSP has responded, creating a daily rosary offering on Instagram at 8am at @sjspwellesley. Everyday we see the number of 'views' creep higher and higher on Instagram, and we are so grateful for the inter-cession of our Blessed Mother during this time. There could not be a better way to start your day than with this meditation. Mary is gentle and patient. Even those of us (guilty!) who have never been great at this devotion will start to feel her grace pour over you if you commit to this meditation.
Last week we were joined by a familiar face! Father John Amuda is a priest who served in our Collaborative four summers ago. Father John joined us from his home in Nigeria to pray! What a treat!

ST. JOHN-ST. PAUL SOCIETY OF ST. VINCENT DE PAUL
In today's Gospel we hear Jesus tell us: “Whoever gives only a cup of cold water to one of these little ones to drink because the little one is a disciple—Amen, I say to you, he will surely not lose his reward.” This month, through your gifts, the
Society of St. Vincent de Paul was able to “acknowledge the goodness of the Father” by assisting five families, providing assistance with food, utility, rent and medical bills. Our Saint John and Saint Paul Society of Saint Vincent de Paul is here to help those families or individuals in need of assistance during this Covid 19 crisis. If you are in need of help please call either parish office or email at [email protected]. A Vincentian virtual visit will be set up and all information is kept confidential.
MASS INTENTIONS Since the suspension of public Masses in the Archdiocese of Boston began on March 14, we have been unable to take new scheduled Mass intentions. All previously scheduled Mass intentions have been, and will continue to be, remembered by Fr. Jim, Fr. Robert, and Fr. David at the Masses they offer privately. While we can now begin to offer a limited number of public Masses, the reality is that the Mass schedule will be subject to change, even from week to week, for the foreseeable future. As such, all public Masses at the St. John-St. Paul Collaborative are being offered at this time for our parishes and for those who have lost their lives to COVID-19. Mass cards and Mass intentions are still available, and will be remembered at the Masses that our priests offer privately. We will resume taking scheduled Mass intentions once we reach a point in time when we can be confident that our public Mass schedule will continue without disruption.
