Saint for Inclusivity

A lot is made of helping diverse people feel a part of a church.

What saint would you suggest as a good example of welcome differing people and races?

Maybe Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha? She was outcast from her Native American community because of her desire to become Catholic.

I would recommend Saint Martin de Porres and Saint Peter Claver. They are both patron saints of inter-racial justice/harmony.

Pick a Saint…any Saint.

Saints are the living examples of doing the right thing according to God’s will through a life of prayer and a life of the spirit-nurtured by the Sacraments.

Martyrs…they are examples of doing things and saying things according to God’s will and dying for their faith. Pick a martyr…any martyr.

Inclusivity yes - permissiveness?..no.
