Mission
The Mayor’s Interfaith Roundtable brings together faith leaders, community advocates, and city partners to strengthen Philadelphia through unity, service, and shared purpose. Rooted in collaboration and compassion, our mission is to harness the collective power of faith communities to advance public safety, health, education, economic opportunity, housing stability, environmental stewardship, social justice, and city beautification.
Together, we work to build a safer, cleaner, greener, and more equitable Philadelphia — where every resident has the opportunity to thrive, and every neighborhood reflects the city’s values of hope, dignity, and community.
