Planning Study Results by the Numbers
⁣
In case you missed it: the Catholic Church of Philadelphia recently completed a campaign planning study, and the response from across the Archdiocese was overwhelmingly encouraging.
⁣
With more than 2,000 families participating and strong support for the campaign priorities, Archbishop Pérez has announced that the Archdiocese will move into the preparation phase for an Archdiocesan-wide campaign.
⁣
Thank you to everyone who took part in this important process.

“Take it; this is my body.”
Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them...
He said to them,
“This is my blood of the covenant,
which will be shed for many.”

Every week, Micah Spader opens doors for teens to gather, play, pray, and belong in Chester.
