On Holy Thursday, April 6, Most Rev. Nelson J. Pérez, Archbishop of Philadelphia, announced his intention to appoint our executive director, Father Philip G. Bochanski as Vicar General and Moderator of the Curia for the Archdiocese of Philadelphia.

Father Bochanski will step down as executive director on June 3, 2023. At that time Father Kyle Schnippel, the chair of the Board of Directors of Courage International, will be appointed acting executive director. We are hopeful that a new executive director will be appointed in the next few months.

As we have more details about the transition and await the appointment of a new executive director we will share them with you here. Below are a few resources and explanations about Fr. Bochanski’s new role and the role of the executive director of Courage.
