Fr. Augustine Tolton, also known as Augustus, is pictured in a photo from an undated portrait card. Born into slavery in Missouri, he was ordained a priest in 1886, served as pastor in Quincy, Ill., and later established a church in Chicago. Chicago Cardinal Francis E. George has formally closed the investigation into the life and virtues of the sainthood candidate. (CNS photo/courtesy of Archdiocese of Chicago Archives and Records Center)
