Archbishop Nelson J. Perez received the American Catholic Historical Society’s (ACHS) 2021 Barry Award Friday evening, Dec. 3 at the Union League of Philadelphia.
Archbishop Nelson J. Perez visited La Salle College High School Oct. 6 for a tour of the school, Mass with the students and an experience of the brotherhood of the community.
Today, we join with others across the nation in commemorating the life and ministry of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This year, perhaps more than ever before, all of us need to deeply reflect on his message of peacefully yet persistently seeking racial equality and justice for all. My sincere hope is that it will lead us to imitate his example through actions of love.
Despite many promising strides over the years, the events that unfolded across the country in 2020 are a stark reminder that the evil sin of racism still infects people’s hearts. As a man who preached the Gospel of Jesus Christ, Dr. King believed that racism could be defeated by active love and the light of faith.
