Archbishop Nelson J. Pérez is asking parishes, religious communities, and institutions throughout the Archdiocese of Philadelphia to include a special prayer intention for Catholic school and religious education administrators and teachers during Sunday Masses Aug. 16 and 23. The prayer is being offered in preparation for the Archbishop’s Days for Educators, scheduled for Aug. 25-27. During the three-day gathering, the archbishop will meet with administrators and teachers from the archdiocese’s high schools and elementary schools, as well as directors, coordinators, and administrators of religious education programs. The theme of the gathering is “Reclaiming in Christ, Our Hope, Our Light and Our Joy.” The faithful are encouraged to pray for the spiritual fruitfulness of the educators’ gathering and for those entrusted with forming students in the faith.
