Who We Are
We are a group of parishioners joined by the common experience of belonging to the Parish of Saint Agatha and Saint James. For us the Parish is not just a “church where we attend mass” but rather a community that feels like family. We want to invite more people to become part of our Parish community and make this family grow around Christ under the protection of Mary.
Our Vision
As members of the oldest Parish in West Philly located in the heart of a fast growing University Campus we embrace the challenge of building true community centered in Jesus Christ and we express our feelings and convictions through the Hospitality towards those who want to join us.
Our Mission
We look forward to serve our brothers and sisters following the example of Jesus. Our service is to make everyone feel welcome in our community and nobody feel left out. We work inspired by the Gospel building bridges and bonds of faith and charity setting a Parish environment where each one can learn to see his neighbor with the eyes of God.
