The Knights of Peter Claver organization was founded in 1909 in Mobile,\u00a0Alabama as a Catholic organization whose mission was to serve African American Catholic men experiencing discrimination. But all Catholic men of every ethnicity age 18 and older are welcome! The newly formed Sister Thea Bowman Council No. 406 invites you to consider joining KPC and help us bring the unique gifts of this ministry to Orange County. We seek opportunities to charitably serve and promote social and racial justice awareness and action. We support one another, fellowship and pray together.<\/p><p>Please see an article about us in our diocesan paper\u00a0<em>OC Catholic<\/em> here: <a href=\"https:\/\/occatholic.com\/promoting-unity\/\">Promoting Unity &#8211; Knights of Peter Claver Launches Local Council<\/a><br \/>And see\u00a0National KPC here: <a href=\"https:\/\/kofpc.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">kofpc.org<\/a><\/p><p>Also, see the following articles written as part of our virtual fundraiser \u201cMLK to Ash Wednesday: A Journey in Social Justice and Faith\u201d as part of our annual appeal and Black History Month:<\/p><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.occatholic.com\/dr-martin-luther-king-jr-and-catholic-social-teaching\/\">DR.
