Abstract: This is an ethnographic study which documents the daily incidences of institutional racism in the lives of forty African-American Roman Catholic sisters and former sisters. During an eighteen month period, the participants were interviewed about their experience regarding the outreach, recruitment and membership process in predominantly white congregations of women religious. An open-ended questionnaire was developed for use on an information-rich sample, using the snowball technique. The focus of the study is the description of the organizational and attitudinal supports and obstacles experienced by the participants. Components and factors of the experience suggest a cultural ignorance on the part of the predominantly white congregations of women religious. Applications to Human Service organizations are discussed.
