See scenes from Aug. 7, when Brian and Barb Riley of the Riley Family Foundation welcomed Archbishop Nelson J. Pérez, leaders from the Archdiocese of Philadelphia’s Strategy and Development Offices, and partners for an evening of fellowship, faith, and conversation. The gathering focused on Archbishop Pérez’s vision for the Church’s future through the Trust and Hope initiative, including efforts to support priests, grow evangelization, and invest in vibrant Catholic communities. The evening highlighted a shared commitment to carrying the hope of Christ forward through missionary discipleship rooted in faith, belonging, and service.
