St. Thaddeus Church had a unique way of celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. The day celebrating Dr. King, kicked off our Black History Month Celebration. The members participated in many ways: • Bulletin boards would be decorated with the theme of Dr. King and the Civil Rights Movement. • Short skits on the history of African Americans were performed by members in the Mass. • Praise Dancers and the Choir marked the month in their own expressive style. St. Thaddeus Church was built in 1959. The church was built to serve African-American Catholics, during a time when Blacks were not welcome. St. Thaddeus Church is Black History!
