Archbishop Nelson J. Pérez invites everyone to read his pastoral letter of Jan. 5, 2025 on planning a new way forward as the Catholic Church of Philadelphia. Read the pastoral letter in English and in Spanish.

This year the Archbishop encourages everyone in the Philadelphia region to join him in a conversation about the trail we will blaze together for our local Church in the years to come. Everyone’s voice and presence are essential as we navigate our way forward. It will lead to a bright future for the good of souls and the glory of God!

Learn more at the website TrustAndHope.org — read the text of the letter, watch a video, explore frequently asked questions, and sign up for one of dozens of discussion sessions in all five counties of the region this spring.
