| 545 | |a Founded in 1886, St. Peter Claver Roman Catholic Church was established explicitly for Black worshippers, who were excluded from other churches. It combined celebrations of Black heritage with standard Catholic services and was a valued hub for Black Catholics. Contention around St. Peter Claver began in 1985 when the Archdiocese restricted services and revealed plans for the church to become a community center. Despite years of petitioning and protest, St. Peter Claver hosted its final mass in 1994. Its congregation continued to organize in later years as the Archdiocese closed the community center and planned to alter the deed to permit sale of the property. | ||
