A historically important contribution to black Catholic hagiography, Sister Mary Petra OSP's life of St. Benedict the Moor provides a great introduction to this beloved saint and is a historically important contribution to black Catholic hagiography. The son of slaves, Benedict endured prejudice from his peers, dissolution of his hermitage, and the menial work he assumed among the Franciscans, Benedict was eventually celebrated as the patron saint of Palermo and the Africans of the diaspora.

We've scoured old prayer books to put together this unique collection of commemorations, litanies, novenas, and other devotions traditional to the African diaspora in America. Includes prayers to Our Lady and St. Joseph as well as Saints Benedict the Moor, Peter Claver, Martin de Porres, and more.
