St. Anastasia’s Black Catholic Committee Celebrating Black History Month Would like you to meet
Wilton Cardinal Gregory
Wilton Cardinal Gregory is a native of Chicago, Illinois. He was educated in the catholic tradition from grammar school all the way through thesemi-nary. After being ordained on May 9, 1973, he went onto his graduate work at Sant’Anselmo in Rome also known as the Pontifical Liturgical Institute.
Wilton went on to serve in Glenview, Illinois at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish as an associate
pastor. He was also on the faculty of the same seminary where he was trained. He served as master of ceremonies to Cardinals Joseph Bernadin and John Cody. On December 13, 1983 he was ordained Auxiliary Bishop of Chicago; serving this role until 1994, when he was the seventh Bishop of the Diocese of Belleville, Illinois. After serving in this position for eleven years he was elevated to the position of Archbishop in 2004.
Wilton continued in the role of Archbishop of Atlanta until 2019, when he was appointed Archbishop of Washington. In 2020 he rose to the rank of Cardinal and was admitted to the College of Cardinals in the Consistory of Rome by Pope Francis.
Cardinal Gregory has served in numerous leadership roles in the U. S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). He has been part of their Administrative and Executive committees and was also president 2001. He has written and published pastoral statements on controversial subjects such as social and criminal justice and euthanasia. Much of his work that is published in African American
community focuses on the area of liturgy. Cardinal Gregory is the Chairman of the Board of Trustees for the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immac-ulate Conception as well as the Chancellor of The Catholic University of America.
Although he earned his doctorate early in his career, he has been awarded numerous honorary degrees. They range from the areas of Humane Letters, Theology, the Humanities and the Sword of Loyola. He even received an honorary Law Degree from Notre Dame University in 2012. Rounding out his honors in 2006, he was inducted into the Martin Luther King Jr. Board of Preachers at Morehouse College. Morehouse is the preeminent men’s Historically Black College & University (HBCU) in Atlanta.
THEOLOGY ROUNDTABLE
The book for February 2021 is All is Grace: A Biography of Dorothy Day by Jim Forest. From a review, “Dorothy Day, founder of the Catholic Worker movement, and one of the most
prophetic voices in the American Catholic church, has recently been proposed as a candidate for canonization. In this lavishly illustrated biography, Jim Forest provides a compelling portrait of her heroic efforts to live out the radical message of the gospel for our time. A journalist and social reformer in her youth, Day surprised her friends with the decision in 1927 to enter the Catholic church. Her conversion, prompted by the birth out of wedlock of her daughter Tamar left her searching for some way to reconcile her faith with her commitment to the poor and social justice.” Does anyone think of St. Augustine, “Lord, make me chaste, but not
yet?” Isn’t it strange how the Holy Spirit works? We will discuss this book via Zoom on Friday February 26 at 10:00 am. A few copies of the book (print and Kindle) are available in BCCLS. Copies of the book are available from Amazon, as well. Please join us for a discussion of this book. As always, our aim is to improve our understanding of our faith.
