Archbishop Of Philadelphia Is Coming To Phoenixville

PHOENIXVILLE, PA — The Archbishop of Philadelphia will make a special visit to a Phoenixville church this Sunday.

Archbishop Charles Chaput will participate in St. Ann's 11:30 a.m. mass on Sunday, Sept. 10, the parish announced on Thursday afternoon.

Chaput is a noted conservative who has been vocal on his anti-abortion stance, among other issues.

He is quick to offer his opinion on current events, most recently decrying the Trump administration's intent to reply the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals Program (DACA)

"Part of being prolife and pro-religious freedom -- both of them vital issues that need our strong support -- is a willingness to look past these specific struggles to the dignity of the whole person," he wrote in a column. "It's one thing to tighten the security of our borders and to deport violent criminals here illegally. It's a different and much uglier thing to punish young people who've grown up in the United States as their home, but whose parents entered the country with them illegally."

Chaput was named Archbishop in 2011.

St. Ann's Catholic Church is located on 502 Main Street in Phoenixville.
