The Office for Black Catholics presents their first Black Catholic Leadership Awards Banquet.

The Acacia Award recognizes an individual for their years of service, support and fidelity to the Black Catholic Community. The Acacia Award is taken from the Acacia Tree which is native to Africa. It is mentioned in the Bible in the book of Exodus and Isaiah. The wood of the tree was used to build the Ark of the Covenant. It is known for providing protection, food and shelter in many African societies because of its resilience to the environmental condition.
The Saint Katharine Drexel Award recognizes an adult individual who exhibits a high level of commitment to his/her faith in the Black Catholic Community.
