The Catholic Church is starting to recognize their impact and may soon name any or all of them Saints. It's time to hear their stories.

Born enslaved, Toussaint gained success as a hairdresser and used his resources to serve the poor.
Servant of God Mother Mary Lange
Lange was the founder of the Oblate Sisters of Providence and the first African-American superior of any religious order.
