Institute of Black Catholic Studies has new director

“I want the Institute of Black Catholic Studies (ICBS)not to be the best kept secret,” said its new director, Redemptorist Father Maurice Nutt. “We want to be well known.”

Father Nutt brings to the institute at Xavier University of Louisiana a 29-year association, first as a student in the early days of the program, then as a teacher and pastor who has sent parishioners to be more effective leaders.
