Diocesan Events

The Black Catholic Ministry Office in partnership with St. Josephine Bakhita Ministry at Good Shepherd Parish in Elk Grove invite all diocesan youth and young adults (ages 13 – 25) to showcase their artistic skills at the 2026 Music, Art, and Poetry Contest (MAP26 Contest). This year’s theme is “Imago Dei, Made in The Image of God”. Participants are invited to express through music, art, or poetry what “made in the image of God” means.
