This is a Catholic Lay organization under the guidance of St. Peter Claver, who was the “apostolate of presence to slaves” showing they were human beings. The Knights aspire to true manhood and the Ladies to Christian Womanhood by promoting friendship, unity and charity through Catholic action. The Knights and Ladies are involved in community service within the Church. This is a diocesan ministry.

Coffee Hours
Join us between the 8:30am Mass and the start of the 10am Mass on Sundays in the Bishop Marshall Center. Volunteers provide coffee, juice and donuts. This is a fine time to socialize and meet members of the parish. Hosted by the Black Catholic Apostolate.
Annual Pig Roast
This great tradition from the merged Holy Family Parish was brought to St. Michael’s by the Black Catholic Apostolate and the Knights and Ladies of St. Peter Claver so that all parishioners and friends could share foods created by members along with pork. It is another way that helps bring us together as a diverse parish family.
