St. Josephine Bakhita statue dedicated
Auxiliary Bishop Joseph Perry blessed a statue of St. Josephine Bakhita following a Mass at the St. Adrian site, 7000 S. Washtenaw Ave., of Mary, Mother of Mercy Parish on Feb. 17, 2019. Born in Sudan to a prosperous family, Bakhita was kidnapped and forced into slavery for more than 12 years. She eventually ended up in Italy, where she encountered some religious women and joined their community.
