Statement of Archbishop Nelson J. Pérez Regarding Safety As Mass Obligation Resumes
Ensuring the health and welfare of those entrusted to the pastoral and temporal care of our Church, especially as we navigate a global pandemic, is a paramount priority as the Archbishop of Philadelphia. During this time of acute hardship and struggle, I have worked in conjunction with the Catholic Bishops of Pennsylvania and the senior administration of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia to implement best practices intended to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and protect those most vulnerable.
As the COVID-19 landscape evolved, we continuously re-evaluated those efforts in consultation with public health officials and based on data.

Dear St. Charles Family and All Friends in Christ,
On Sunday, February 5, with a group of about 20 priests, I will set out for an 8-day pilgrimage to the Holy Land to pray and to spend time reflecting on the profound mystery of the Incarnation. Here, in this place, is where the Word became flesh and dwelt among us! We will walk and pray in the same places that Jesus walked and prayed and manifested God’s love to the world through his ministry, passion, death, and resurrection. I will bring all of you with me in my heart and invite you to share with me your prayer intentions. The intentions will be placed on the altar at all the sites where we will celebrate Mass: Mount Carmel, Nazareth, the Mount of the Beatitudes, the Mount of the Transfiguration, Bethlehem, the Basilica of the Agony in the Garden, and the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. Please email me any prayer requests at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. I will be posting photos and commentary during the pilgrimage at fr-forlano.blogspot.com. I ask for your prayers for safe travel and return and look forward to sharing the fruits of this experience with you all!
Sincerely in Christ,
Fr. Forlano

Estimada familia de San Carlos y todos los amigos en Cristo:
El domingo 5 de febrero, con un grupo de 20 sacerdotes, emprenderé una peregrinación de 8 días a Tierra Santa para orar y reflexionar sobre el profundo misterio de la Encarnación. ¡Aquí, en este lugar, es donde la Palabra se hizo carne y habitó entre nosotros!. Caminaremos y oraremos en los mismos lugares donde Jesús caminó y oró y manifestó el amor de Dios al mundo a través de su ministerio, pasión, muerte y resurrección. Los traeré a todos en mi corazón y los invitaré a compartir conmigo sus intenciones de oración. Las intenciones se colocarán en el altar de todos los sitios donde celebraremos la Misa: Monte Carmelo, Nazaret, Monte de las Bienaventuranzas, Monte de la Transfiguración, Belén, Basílica de la Agonía en el Huerto y Santo Sepulcro en Jerusalén. Por favor envíeme un correo electrónico con cualquier solicitud de oración a This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Publicaré fotos y comentarios durante la peregrinación en fr-forlano.blogspot.com. ¡Pido sus oraciones por un viaje y regreso seguros y espero poder compartir los frutos de esta experiencia con todos ustedes!
