About Us
The Faith Community of Saint Sabina
is a Word-based, Bible teaching African-American Catholic Church that believes in the power of praise and worship.
We are a spiritual hospital where all are welcome and invited to "taste and see the goodness of the Lord."
Our purpose is to nurture and develop spiritually mature Christians who are not confined by the walls of the sanctuary, but can penetrate the world in order to present God's way of living as a divine option.
African Ancestry
Discover the Roots of Your Family Tree
with a special offer from African Ancestry of only $285. (You can split the cost with family members) If we get enough people signed up, the testing will take place mid to late February, here at Saint Sabina church.
African Ancestry is the only company that can trace the ancestry of African Americans back to a specific African country of origin and often to a specific African ethnic group over 500 years ago. For the last six years, African Ancestry has helped almost 17,000 people find their ancestral roots, including Oprah Winfrey, Forest Whitaker, Tom Joyner, India Arie, Rev. Jesse Jackson and many more.

Daughters & Sons by Dr. Maya Angelou
If my luck is bad
And his aim is straight
I will leave my life
On the killing field.
You can see me die
On the nightly news
As you settle down
To your evening meal.
But you’ll turn your back
As you often do
Yet I am your sons
And your daughters too.
Maya Angelou to return in the 2010 African-American Speaking Series. Tickets will go on sale following the appearance of Gladys Knight on Friday, Feb. 26th
