The Priest of the Port: St. Peter Claver
More McGrady with Katie
He would go down to the port to greet the slave ships, bringing fruit and citrus to help cure the scurvy so many of the enslaved men and women suffered from as they were transported across the Atlantic. Preaching to the enslaved and the slaver alike, St. Peter Claver's mission was clear: treat everyone with dignity, and preach the goodness of the human person and the love of Jesus, especially to those held captive.
