_TOLTON: FROM SLAVE TO PRIEST_ is a professional Catholic theater
production based on the life of Father Augustus TOLTON, the first
recognized African American PRIEST. His moving story brings hope to
our society that so desperately needs his message of reconciliation
and healing. To characterize Father Augustus Tolton’s life as
remarkable is an understatement, to say the least. He was born a slave
on a Missouri farm in 1854, and his mother risked everything to reach
freedom in Illinois with her three small children. The family
continued to experience hardships and persecution, but Fr. Tolton
persevered in his deep desire to become a Catholic PRIEST. Now his
cause for sainthood is moving forward, as more and more people are
beginning to recognize the humble perseverance, determination and
compassion of this extraordinary man.THIS LIVE, ONE-MAN MULTIMEDIA
