Taking a leading role in the congress will be Father Kenneth Taylor, pastor of Holy Angels Parish in Indianapolis and director of the archdiocesan Office of Multicultural Ministry. He also serves as vice president of the National Black Catholic Clergy Caucus.

Many volunteers will be needed to make the congress a success. People interested in volunteering can learn more about the event during a dinner at 6 p.m. on Nov. 7 at the Archbishop O’Meara Catholic Center, 1400 N. Meridian St., in Indianapolis.
