Celebrating Interfaith

Holy Family has also embraced its role in realizing the Culture of Family by organizing forums that can develop connections and promote the common good.

Holy Family University Interfaith proudly presented its Inaugural Interfaith Symposium, “Honoring our Neighbor’s Faith: How Interfaith Conversations Build Community.”

To focus on how faith connections could help resolve community issues, the event featured a panel of community leaders representing different faith traditions who shared their beliefs and worldviews and acknowledged the need for interfaith cooperation to counter the strains and difficulties being felt by communities in Philadelphia, the surrounding region, and in society at large.

• Rabbi Claire Green, Old York Road Temple-Beth Am
• Fr. Andrew Labatorio, Our Lady of Hope Parish
