Rev. Rodney Armstrong serves as a pastor of Our Mother of Mercy Catholic Church located in the historic Fifth Ward district of Houston, Texas. Belonging to The Society of St. Joseph of the Sacred Heart (The Josephites), a congregation of priests and brothers that serve in the African-American community, Rev. Armstrong brings compassion to his parish community and the sublime joy of his African-American heritage to the priesthood.  During the interview, we discussed: Liturgical diversity, his discernment to the priesthood,  popular Saints, what it means to be a "Black Catholic", well-known Catholics of African descent, and the importance of following God's internal call to the priesthood.
