The Colored Catholic Congress movement was a series of meetings organized by Daniel Rudd in the late 19th and early 20th centuries for African-American Catholics to discuss issues affecting their communities, churches, and other institutions.

Part of the Colored Conventions Movement, the congresses ran from 1889 to 1894, before folding for unknown reasons.[1][2]
