AUGUST 2025
Each year, we have the honor of hosting the Cardinals’ Forum—a gathering dedicated to thoughtful conversation and shared reflection. This year’s theme, “Unity in the Church,” invites us to come together as one community of faith. We warmly invite you to join us for this special evening as we explore the meaning of unity in today’s Church and renew our commitment to communion, understanding, and mission.

And the survey says …
In February, CPI opened separate surveys to pastors and parishioners to understand the homiletic experience of both clergy and the Catholic faithful of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. THANK YOU to all who participated in the surveys!
The responses have been collected, collated and interpreted – click here to read more on the Research Page.
Now we’re on to creating vibrant programs with what we’ve learned. We encourage you to visit this site often for updated information about these programs – and how you can contribute your time and talents!

FROM THE BOOKSHELF (for August)
This month’s “Preacher Feature” honors the Blessed Virgin Mary in celebration of her feast day on August 15. Celebrated for her unwavering faith, humility, and courage, Mary responded to God’s call with a wholehearted “yes,” becoming the model of discipleship and mother to us all.

Throughout this our inaugural year, we have celebrated each month the feast days of remarkable preachers who helped shape a fledgling Church, and who still influence how we celebrate our Catholic faith today. You will find curated reads about each in our Bookshelf Archive.
As 2024 ebbs to its end, this Advent we remember the CHOIRS OF ANGELS, those celestial beings created by God for his kingdom. Especially during this season, we remember those heavenly hosts – named and unnamed – whom God selected to break into human history to announce the coming of the Saviour!
The Angels of Christmas: Hearing God’s Voice in Advent explores the four angelic visits to Zechariah, Mary, Joseph and the shepherds. May we never forget these first “preachers” of the Good News.
A blessed and transformational Advent and Christmas to you and yours!
