St. Moses the Black

August 28 Old Style

Today is the feast of our Father among the saints Moses the Strong (or the Black or the Ethiopian). Many consider him the patron of African descendants who have come into the Church in these more recent years. 

Pray to God for us O Holy Moses, for we fervently flee unto thee, the speedy helper and intercessor of our souls!

Coming soon
