Sinopse

On Tuesday’s St. Louis on the Air, Bishop Joseph Perry joined host Don Marsh to discuss the effort to canonize Fr. Augustus Tolton, who is considered to have been the first African-American priest in the United States. Ordained in 1886, the former slave was born near Hannibal, Missouri, and ministered in both Quincy and Chicago.
