With the Building Our Future: The Comprehensive Campaign for Saint Charles Borromeo Seminary underway, the Archdiocese of Philadelphia hopes to raise $40 million dollars to accomplish the following goals:
- Building a new campus for Saint Charles Borromeo Seminary that will transform our seminarians’ formation with updated technology, improved services and state-of-the art facilities, readying our students to be servant leaders after the Heart of Jesus Christ;
- Establishing an endowment to ensure the long-term sustainability of our seminary. The endowment will allow us to offer financial aid to students in need, manage annual operating expenses and continue to grow our vibrant community.

A Pastoral Letter on Racial Healing: “We Are One Body”
June 11, 2023: Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ
Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
As followers of Jesus Christ, we are called to emulate His love and compassion for all humanity and, as sinners, to reflect on where we have fallen short. Today, I again address the grave sin of racism, which continues to plague our society and even our own Church.
Our faith teaches us that every person is created in the likeness of God and deserves to be treated with equal dignity and respect. Yet, we cannot deny that racism persists within the Body of Christ. It inflicts immense pain, division, and injustice in our Church, our communities, and our world.
Philadelphia has a long history of hometown saints who dedicated their lives to fighting racism and discrimination like Saint John Neumann, Saint Katharine Drexel, and Saint Frances Cabrini.
Despite their monumental efforts and the work of so many others, this evil continues to poison our souls, our Church, our relationships with one another, and with God. Racism shreds the fabric of our communities, hinders our unity, and impedes the building of God’s kingdom on earth.

At noon Roman time today, Pope Francis announced from the Vatican that he has accepted the retirement of Most Reverend Michael J. Fitzgerald, Auxiliary Bishop of Philadelphia. As required by the Code of Canon Law for all bishops, Bishop Fitzgerald petitioned the Vatican for retirement in anticipation of his 75th birthday, which he marked earlier this month.
Although officially retired, Bishop Fitzgerald will continue serving the Church of Philadelphia in a pastoral capacity.
