The bed of Mother Mary Lange, the leader of the country’s first community of Black nuns, is displayed at the St. Francis Academy in Baltimore, Wednesday, Feb. 23, 2005. Under a decree signed by Pope Francis on Thursday, June 22, 2023, Lange was recognized for her heroic virtue, and advanced in the cause of her beatification from being considered servant of God to venerable – another step toward sainthood.
