On Saturday, January 11, I met with the Pastoral Council to discuss the Letter and Invitation from Archbishop Perez for the faithful of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. The discussion centered on the call for Parish Renewal and reimagining ministry in the coming years.
Further information will be provided about opportunities for parishioners to read and discuss the Archbishop's pastoral letter and the vision. Your participation in the process is encouraged.
You may go online to trustandhope.org or, if you do not have computer access, please call the Parish Office to obtain a paper copy of the letter.
Blessings,
Fr. Jerry Wild
Dear Parishioners,
​
Over the past several months, as your pastor, I have engaged you in a discussion from the pulpit, in the bulletin, and in an open parish meeting about the state of our Parish in these changing times.
​
As believers in Christ and the Holy Spirit, we are to embrace the times that we are given. We are called to recognize Christ's presence and join in His mission to bring people to Christ and the news of the Gospel.
​
Archbishop Nelson Perez has published a Pastoral Letter outlining his hopes for the Church of Philadelphia over the coming years. He is asking for your help in being part of the process.
​
Please visit https://trustandhope.org to read the letter. You are invited to participate in an Archdiocesan consultation session to learn more.
​
In the coming weeks, I will be sharing further information as we go forward with this process for the good of our parish and the Church of Philadelphia.
​
Blessings,
Fr. Jerry Wild
