Philadelphia Yearly Meeting

PYM Logo

Philadelphia Yearly Meeting (PYM) exists to enrich and support the collective spiritual journey of our members and Meetings and their efforts to give tangible expression to their experience of the Divine.  Individual Quakers belong to Monthly Meetings.  However, since our earliest days Friends have also formed Yearly Meetings, coming together in the larger gatherings for worship, fellowship, and to enlarge and extend our witness in the world.

The Philadelphia Yearly Meeting is made up of 100+ Monthly (or individual) Meetings in the tri-state area of PA, NJ and some DE. 

As members of Abington Monthly Meeting, we are also part of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting. We are called "monthly" because we meet once a month to attend to business, even though we meet every week for worship. Our Abington Quarterly Meeting meets four times a year for business, and as the name suggests, our Philadelphia Yearly Meeting meets once a year for business.
