Archdiocese of Philadelphia | 3,705 followers on LinkedIn. We, the faithful of the Roman Catholic Church in Philadelphia in communion with our Holy Father, shepherd of the universal Church, and our Archbishop, shepherd of the Church in Philadelphia, proclaim to everyone the Good News that Jesus Christ is the Light of the world, who offers to all who follow Him the light of life. Baptized into Christ Jesus and confirmed by the gift of the Holy Spirit, we desire to share this Light with all by proclaiming the Gospel of forgiveness and reconciliation to every person. We are one in our Church’s teachings and in the variety of the gifts, services and ministries that we employ to help build up the Kingdom of God.
