The National Black Catholic Congress (NBCC) is an advocacy organization that offers African American Roman Catholics an opportunity to speak for themselves on matters of evangelization, spirituality, education, and the plight of all African Americans.  The Congress motivates and inspires its members to share the Gospel message with the African American community and develop strategies to accomplish the Congress mission.

The Implementation Team is the local arm of the Congress in the archdiocese.  Team members carry out Congress policies, programs, and ministries as identified in the NBCC Plan of Action.  The National Congress meets in general session every five years to determine its agenda and set directions for all its members.

The Omaha archdiocesan Implementation Team meets each third Tuesday of the month at 6:30 p.m. in the St. Cecilia Lay Apostolate Center.  Everyone is welcome.
