History
The Vicariate of Black Catholic Concerns was established in 2006.
Before that, it was known as the Office of Black Catholic Ministry, but its history dates back to the late 1970s when the diocese formed the Council for Black Catholics at the behest of parishioners who wanted to make sure their African-American identity was honored and respected.
Today the VBCC organizes workshops on black Catholic history, runs youth programs like Young Ambassadors and the Kujenga Youth Leadership Retreat, and puts on events like the annual Black History Month Mass in February.
