Image Title:
Augustus Tolton  (1854 - 1897)

Note:
"Augustus Tolton devoted himself to serving God by making his life a living example of God’s words. Unfortunately, no American seminary would accept a black man. Without allowing his faith in the Lord to falter, Tolton graduated from high school and Quincy College. In 1880, with Fr. McGirr’s continued support, Augustus began his studies for priesthood in Rome. Prayer to God and trust that God answers prayer guaranteed the success of Tolton as he completed his training. He was an excellent student because everything he did and all he accomplished were to glorify God." [toltoncatholic.org] Learn More
