Today the Church of Philadelphia celebrates the fifth anniversary of the installation of Archbishop Nelson J. Pérez as our shepherd of the Church of Philadelphia. Please join in giving thanks to God for the blessing of Archbishop Pérez and his wisdom, leadership, and compassionate pastoral care for the people of this region and beyond. In prayer, let us ask the Holy Spirit to strengthen him continually as a successor to the Apostles as together we move forward in trust and hope!
Also, please click here for an article by Archbishop Pérez titled “Forging a New Way Forward Together” that was published in last Sunday’s Philadelphia Inquirer. In the article he explains, “It’s time to have a conversation about the direction of the Catholic Church of Philadelphia, and how it can best meet the needs of the people of this region with a hopeful and compassionate heart.”
