    Sister Thea Bowman
    Servant of God Sister Thea Bowman, FSPA, left an indelible mark on her community and on her church. She lovingly taught young people about the joy of being Christian, she challenged her church to accept her as "fully black and fully Catholic," she embraced her suffering with a willing spirit and she calls all to a living faith.

    • "Going Home Like a Shooting Star: Thea Bowman's Journey to Sainthood"

      A documentary from NewGroup Media and the Diocese of Jackson, Going Home Like a Shooting Star: Thea Bowman’s Journey to Sainthood, presents the riveting life of Sister Thea Bowman, an African American Catholic Franciscan Sister who used her powerful gifts to educate and challenge the church and society to grow in racial inclusivity. Her skills of preaching, music, and teaching moved many Catholics to begin to confront their own racism while she urged her African American brothers and sisters to claim their gifts and share their “fully functioning” personhood. Thea worked tirelessly to proclaim this message until her untimely death from breast cancer in 1990.

      The film is free to view on the Diocese of Jackson's YouTube page.

      Donations welcome to the Cause for Sister Thea Bowman for viewing
