Father Augustus Tolton was the first identified black American ordained to the priesthood in the United States. He was born into slavery and escaped to freedom with his mother and siblings under harrowing circumstances. Throughout his life he displayed a great devotion to the Lord and the Catholic faith despite facing racism within the Church at nearly every turn. Still, he felt and preached that the Catholic Church's teaching that all people are children of God regardless of race made it the true church for African Americans in the United States following the Civil War. In Augustus Tolton, Joyce Duriga brings to light his quiet witness as a challenge to prejudices and narrow-mindedness that can keep us insulated from the universal diversity of the kingdom of God.

Ok product for average shape
Size: Large, Color: White
ok for the price but didn't work out for us. I had one guy whose body is thick and one who is thin. Couldn't get the set to fit on top and bottom at the same time, pants were a lil see through, but still decent quality and price.

This set was very affordable, lightweight and my son said it was comfortable. It came back fast and it was perfect for Easter Sunday! My son is 6’1 and he weighs 140 lbs.

Great suit
Size: 12, Color: Mint Green, Size: 12, Color: Mint Green
Very nice suit. Love the material. My 11 year old is tall and slim- 5’3”, 80 lbs. I got a size 12 for the length. The jacket fit perfectly, the pants was good length and has elastic in the waist to adjust for size. Overall, it’s a good suit and I’d recommend it.

Horrible

Ordered this for my son’s graduation! They send an entirely different set! It wasn’t even a suit!! It was a shirt and pants which were dark as ever and not light blue! Please do not order this! Quality was cheap for the price as well!
