Host: Bishop Fernand Cheri, OFM, auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of New Orleans.

Topic: Bishop Cheri shared a powerful witness to the Major Superiors of Men's Religious Orders, and will speak with us about his own experiences as a Black priest and bishop to help us reflect on what we are called to do as young people and Church to address racial justice in our own communities.
