The dream is still alive

Bishop William K. Weigand presided at a Jan. 20 Mass at the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament in Sacramento to commemorate the life of the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., sponsored by the Sacramento Black Catholic Council and the Knights and Ladies of St. Peter Claver.

Father Giles Conwell, a professor of history at Morehouse College in Atlanta, Ga., where King attended college, was the homilist at the Mass.

Members of the Black Catholic Council also sponsored a “Blood of the Martyrs” blood and marrow drive in honor of King at the Diocese of Sacramento’s Pastoral Center on the Martin Luther King, Jr., holiday. Participants donated blood or registered for the National Marrow Donor Program.
