Co-Workers: Bishops and Lay Ecclesial Ministers in Conversation

In an effort to affirm and exemplify the contributions of lay ecclesial ministers in the Catholic Church, the United States Catholic Conference of Bishops launched a series of webinars and testimonial videos entitled “Co-Workers: Bishops and Lay Ecclesial Ministers in Conversation.” This series was developed in partnership with the USCCB’s Secretariat of Laity, Marriage, Family Life, and Youth (LMFLY) and the McGrath Institute for Church Life at the University of Notre Dame. The platform gives lay ecclesial ministers the opportunity to discuss the challenges and triumphs of their ministry.

Archbishop Nelson J. Pérez will be featured on a segment with Matthew Davis, Director of the Office for Young Adults, and Marisally Santiago, Director of the Office for Youth. Their segment will be available on the USCCB website on May 17, 2021: https://www.usccb.org/committees/laity-marriage-family-life-youth/lay-ecclesial-ministry.

Archbishop Nelson J. Pérez Statement following the Verdict in the Trial of Derek Chauvin

“The anguish, grief, and fear that consumed our country last spring following the tragic and disturbing death of George Floyd was overwhelming. In the immediate aftermath, old wounds were ripped wide open as the mortal sin of racism cut through our communities.

As a people of faith, Catholics believe that every life holds value and should be treated with dignity. In the name of the people of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, I share in the continued pain and sadness felt by so many.  CLICK HERE TO READ THE FULL STATEMENT.
