Black Heritage Prayer Service 2015

Archbishop Cupich joined hundreds of students from archdiocesan Catholic schools to celebrate Black History Month. This year's theme was, "This is Our Story: We Need Each Other to Survive." This celebration included the first Black Heritage Award, honoring Laurence Holmes, a graduate of a Southside Catholic School and DePaul University and a supporter of Catholic education. Holmes is a sports talk show host on WSCR 670 The Score.
