Faithful From The Archdiocese Of Philadelphia To Join Pope Francis’ Live Stream Prayer Service And Receive Extraordinary Urbi Et Orbi Blessing On Friday, March 27

In response to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, Pope Francis invites Catholics around the world to participate remotely in a prayer service that will be streamed live from Saint Peters Square to https://www.vaticannews.va/en.html on Friday, March 27th.

Pope Francis will give the extraordinary Urbi et Orbi Blessing with the opportunity for participants to receive a plenary indulgence. The Urbi et Orbi, meaning “to the City and the World,” is a blessing usually delivered by the Holy Father at Christmas and Easter.

Archbishop Nelson J. Pérez encourages faithful throughout the Archdiocese of Philadelphia to join the Holy Father spiritually at 1:00 p.m., and to continue praying for sick, suffering, and their caregivers as well as government and health officials in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

Thank you from Monsignor Sullivan – CARES Act Passed!

 
 
Yesterday, I wrote with a time-sensitive request for you to contact your United States senators urging them to make sure private schools would remain eligible for proposed Federal relief funding under the CARES Act.

I am happy to share that the CARES Act passed the United States Senate yesterday with the inclusion of eligibility for private schools to receive such funding. Please accept my sincere gratitude for making your voice heard in support of this measure, which will next be considered by the House of Representatives.

Future advocacy efforts may be needed to ensure equal access to Federal COVID-19 relief funds for the benefit of our young people. They hope to count on you when that time comes. May God continue to bless you abundantly as you care for those entrusted to your pastoral care in these trying times.

 

Sincerely in Christ,

Rev. Msgr. Daniel J. Sullivan

Vicar for Clergy

Time Sensitive Legislative Advocacy Request–Keep Equal Access to COVID-19 Federal Relief Funds for Private Schools

A Request for Assistance from Monsignor Sullivan:

I am writing with a time-sensitive request for assistance. Under the CARES Act, the United States Senate is currently considering an expansive Federal relief package to assist individuals and institutions in need, including K-12 schools, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Currently there is language in the legislation that allows non-public schools to benefit from the relief package. However, some legislators are seeking to disqualify private schools from eligibility. It’s critical for schools like ours to have equal access to Federal funds so I am asking you to take a moment to contact your United States senators and urge them to make sure private schools remain included in this important legislation.

The Council for American Private Education (CAPE) is providing a simple and efficient way to contact your elected officials online. By clicking the link below you can reach out to their offices and voice your support for Federal relief funding for private schools.

Please join with me to ensure equal access to Federal relief funds for the benefit of our young people and please consider sharing this request as broadly as possible. Thank you.

Sincerely in Christ,

Rev. Msgr. Daniel J. Sullivan

Vicar for Clergy
