The Catholic Committee on Scouting in the Diocese of Springfield announced the Venerable Father Augustus Tolton Activity Patch, which honors the first recognized Black priest in the United States.
Father Tolton ‘persevered because what was in his heart was love,’ said Archbishop Nelson Pérez.
The mile-long pilgrimage in Quincy, Ill., began outside of St. Peter Catholic school and ended with a series of prayers at Father Tolton’s grave at St. Peter Catholic Cemetery.
