The First Interracial Monastery During segregation Dominican sisters established the first interra-cial monastery — in Alabama. One day, Mother Mary of Jesus, cloistered Dominican nun, had a vision. While in the monastery garden, she saw a scene of a race riot unfold before her. The sight was a violent one, with people of different races engaged in strug-gle. Then Mother Mary of Jesus, who was white, saw a dark-skinned friar approaching the crowd. He was clad in the Dominican habit and holding a rosary. She recognized him as St. Martin de Porres. As Martin walked among the crowd, the weapons and clubs they were holding turned to rosaries and their fighting to prayer. Then Martin pointed to a monastery on the top of a hill. Mother Mary of Jesus saw there Dominican nuns of all races praying the Rosary, with their arms outstretched in the form of a cross. In 1944, Mother Mary of Jesus and a couple of other wom-en made a radical, counter-cultural decision to live transformative love. Their chosen means? They founded an integrated monastery of cloistered contemplative Dominican nuns. At the time, their project to establish the first interracial monastery in the United States was contrary to segregation laws. However, from the outset, black and white sisters alike have lived side-by-side at the Dominican Monastery of St. Jude, sharing every chore, every moment of prayer, every sorrow, and every joy of community life. Mother Mary of Jesus would not live to realize the vision she had seen. However, two nuns who were members of her monas-tery at Catonsville, Maryland, would. Mother Mary Dominic and Mother Mary of the Child Jesus wanted to open a monastery for those who desired God. But when a young African American wom-an inquired at Catonsville and was turned away because of her race, the sisters were galvanized to begin a new foundation. The two Mothers received permission to write to bishops. They spent years writing letters, and received many responses. Some bishops offered initial favorable responses, but then the sis-ters would be turned down. Most admired their ideal, but thought it imprudent in their diocese at that time. After receiving permission to write just once more, the foundresses finally received a favorable reply from Archbishop Thomas Toolen of Mobile, Alabama. With Archbishop Toolen’s support, the foundresses estab-lished the monastery in Marbury. Marbury was already home to a mission where the Resurrectionists were working to provide educa-tional, medical, and spiritual services for African Americans. The nuns began their monastic contemplative life in the renovated farm-house next door, the community numbering just the two foundress-es and a postulant. Marbury was a city set on a hill (Matt. 5:14). The monas-tery became a center where other religious sisters would visit and see a vibrant interracial community. Sr. Mary Jordan, the monas-tery’s current novice mistress, attests, “The bishop was proud of having a community like this in his diocese, and many priests and religious referred young women to the monastery.” At the time, their project to establish the first interracial monas-tery in the United States was contrary to segregation laws. However, from the outset, black and white sisters alike have lived side-by-side at the Do-minican Monastery of St. Jude, sharing every chore, every moment of prayer, every sorrow, and every joy of community life.

From The American Catholic Almanac—June 28: The Italian Egalitarian: History remembers Thomas Jefferson as the author of American liberty. He earned that title for penning the Declaration of Independence, which he submitted to the Continental Congress on June 28, 1776. But as then-Senator John F. Kennedy wrote in his 1958 book, A Nation of Immigrants, “No one man can take complete credit for the ideal of American democracy.” History agrees and has given at least some credit for the Dec-laration to Jefferson’s editors, John Adams and Benjamin Franklin. George Mason, George Washington, and Thomas Ludwell Lee, who authored other founding documents from which Jefferson drew inspi-ration, have also received thanks. In his book, however, Kennedy argued that history still need-ed to acknowledge one other man: Philip Mazzei. Born in Tuscany and educated in Florence, Mazzei moved to London as a young man. There, he ran a successful import business for almost two decades, until in the early 1770s he met Franklin. At his urging, the Catholic Mazzei came to America in 1773, and taught Virginia’s planters how to cultivate vineyards. While in Virginia, Mazzei settled on a plantation near Jeffer-son’s. The two became friends and corresponded regularly about politics and philosophy. In Mazzei’s letters, Jefferson found a phrase he would later borrow for the Declaration of Independence: “All men are created equal.” Although not an exact quote—which would be difficulty as he and Jefferson corresponded in Italian—both Kennedy in his 1958 book and the US Congress in 1994, recognized the fundamental phrase as originating in Mazzei’s writing. Those words weren’t Mazzei’s only contributions to the cause of liberty. He later served as an emissary for Virginia in Italy and helped smuggle arms to the Continental Army. His words to Jef-ferson, however, remain his most enduring contribution. To honor him for that, the U.S. Government issued a com-memorative stamp in 1980, which bore Mazzei’s image an the words he first wrote to Jefferson: “All men are by nature equally free and independent.”
