Archdiocese of Philadelphia welcomes five new Culture Project missionaries

The Archdiocese of Philadelphia has welcomed five new missionaries from Culture Project International to serve young people across its five-county region. Bernie Senger IV, Laura Hilkert, Jenna Espiritu, Carlos Hernandez, and Sabrina Vizurraga will spend the next year working in schools, parishes, and PREP programs.

The missionaries will give presentations to high school students, middle school students, and young adults. These sessions cover topics such as human dignity, virtue, authentic love, and the value of living chastely.

Archbishop Nelson J. Pérez approved the creation of an official Culture Project chapter in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia in 2021. The missionary program uses Catholic social teaching and the Theology of the Body to help young people recognize human dignity. The Archdiocese provides biographies of the missionaries and information for scheduling presentations on its Culture Project webpage.
