More than 230 archdiocesan priests joined Archbishop Pérez and Philadelphia auxiliary bishops May 18–21 at a conference center in Hershey, Pa., for the annual Priests’ Convocation, a four-day gathering of prayer, reflection and fellowship. This year’s theme was “Keep Them in Your Name” (John 17:11).
In a March 20 Facebook video, Archbishop Pérez asked for prayers as priests celebrate their priesthood and deepen their relationship with the Lord, one another and the faithful of Philadelphia.
