| The Call to Conversion and Holiness |
|
Cardinal Justin Rigali recently published a Pastoral letter for
all the faithful announcing a planning initiative in the Archdiocese of
Philadelphia. This Pastoral
document entitled “Called to Conversion and Holiness”
stresses three major priorities for our Archdiocese as we
plan for the future so that “we might be more effective in advancing the
mission of Christ.”
These super-Priorities—the Holy Eucharist, the Sacrament of
Confession and the Special need for Priestly Vocations in the
Archdiocese of Philadelphia—will ensure that “our Catholic faith will
more deeply take root in our daily lives” and that “we are faithful to
the mission entrusted to us by Jesus Christ.”
There must also be other evangelizing and sanctifying initiatives
as we support the vocation to Christian Marriage, consecrated life and
all called to the dedicated single life.
The letter also announces strategic planning for our Archdiocesan
Office structure, our Parishes and Catholic Education.
To learn more about how and when this will all unfold, read
Cardinal Rigali’s pastoral letter on the Archdiocesan Website at
www.archphila.org. Also,
look for periodic announcements as together we strive daily to respond
faithfully to the “Call to Conversion and Holiness.”
