Statement of Most Reverend Nelson J. Pérez on the Occasion of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and the Formation of the Commission on Racial Healing

Today, we join with others across the nation in commemorating the life and ministry of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This year, perhaps more than ever before, all of us need to deeply reflect on his message of peacefully yet persistently seeking racial equality and justice for all. My sincere hope is that it will lead us to imitate his example through actions of love. Click here to read the full statement.

St. Charles Borromeo Seminary Christmas Concert!

Originally posted on December 2, we are reposting now as one last Christmas gift to you. You’ll notice a familiar face in the opening number; Deacon Tyler Sparrow can be seen singing on the far right of the screen. He also adds his beautiful voice to the performance of Biebl’s Ave Maria. You will be swept away by the magnificent rendition of O Holy Night offered by Father Keith J. Chylinski. As we reach the final days of the Christmas season, enjoy this concert of hope by our seminarians and alums of the seminary. Click here to experience this wonderful Christmas concert!

Statement of Most Reverend Nelson J. Pérez Regarding Yesterday’s Violent Protests at the United States Capitol

Like so many Americans, I watched the violent protests and vandalism unfold in the United States Capitol with shock and dismay. Yesterday was a truly sad day for our country—a day that I hope and pray never repeats itself.  In the midst of our shared sorrow, we must remember that what we saw is not a reflection of who we are. We are better than this and the actions of a few do not represent us or our values. Click here to read the full statement.
