"Walk together. Work together. Love each other." - Pope Francis, June 4, 2017
The African Ancestry Ministry and Evangelization Network (AAMEN) is established by the Diocese of Raleigh to foster the mission of the Roman Catholic Church:
- Spread the Gospel
- Celebrate the Sacraments
- Form a faith community
To do this ministry, we must create an atmosphere in which individuals of African Ancestry:
- Can maintain their identity
- Heighten their visibility
- Enhance their lives as Catholics
The ministry is concerned with nurturing those in the faith, reconciling those fallen away from the faith, and offering a church home to the un-churched through conversion to the Catholic faith.
