Thank you to everyone who joined us at the Red Tie Bash to celebrate friendship, community, and to raise money for the school. Bringing this beloved event back after a two year hiatus was no small task and would have not been possible without the tremendous effort of our RTB co chairs Kim and Kevin Delaney and the trust and support of Principal Jennifer Ramirez.
Thank you Kim and Kevin for having the vision, bringing together an amazing group of volunteers and bringing our community together for a hugely successful Red Tie Bash. We are so very grateful for the hard work and dedication of our committee chairs and the countless volunteers. A huge thank you to Henny Andress for working behind the scenes to ensure the event ran smoothly. Thank you to Tricia Ortega, Development Director, Diana Blas and the entire office staff for going above and beyond the call of duty. Thank you to Michael and Linsey Reyes for the entertainment and getting everyone on the dance floor and to our amazing Video Coordinator, Chris Marrs and his crew, Chris James, Timothy Kendall, Cindy McCarthy, Danny Pudi and Lisa Bruchey for once again out doing themselves with an extra special kid’s video. To our VP of Fundraising Susan Harden and our Greater Giving coordinators Shawna Martin and Michelle Alfonso, this event couldn’t have happened without you. Special thanks to Renee Norton for being our behind the scenes advisor. An event such as the Red Tie Bash takes a village to create and make a success, so thank you to all of those who helped plan the party or volunteered to help with the many aspects that went into it, including: Lindsay Sloane, Allison Fuller, Melissa Montoya, Aaron Luna, Admond Fong, Connie Rubke, Nicole Lamb, Briana Flores, Brandi Mathisen, Hayley Boaz, Stacey Almeida, Mary Forrest, Adriene Lynch, Jaime Stoney, Lauren Dooling, Julie Atay, Kristin Kyle de Bautista, Theresa Pranata, Maureen Schimmoller, Christine Saponara, Michelle Handley, Jennifer Dill Kamal, Benjamin Stoney, and so many more who were instrumental in making the evening a success.
Finally, we sincerely thank all of our generous sponsors and donors. Without you the Bash would not have been the spectacular event that it was.
Thank you,
Diane McCullough and Ali Crist

Fr. Joe Moniz Educational Fund |
Fr. Joe served St. Philip the Apostle Parish for 20 years as our pastor. To honor his legacy of supporting Catholic education, we established an endowment in his name at the Catholic Community Foundation of Los Angeles to support tuition assistance and the educational needs of all St. Philip the Apostle School students. As this fund grows, our school will greatly benefit from financial stability in the future years.
If you did not have a chance to donate during last Saturday's virtual Red Tie Ball, you can still contribute today! We understand that not everyone is in a position to donate, but we greatly appreciate your prayers that this fund continues to receive support. You can donate by mailing a check to the school office or by going here.

Children's Liturgy Needs Volunteers |
if you are interested in Volunteering for Children’s Liturgy. The Mission of Children’s Liturgy is “Mass is for All.” This ministry provides the school-age (ages 5-12) children of our parish the opportunity to celebrate the Liturgy in their own language, and in doing so to express and explore God’s unconditional love. Children’s Liturgy is at the 9am Family Mass every Sunday from Sept.-June. The children greatly value this ministry, so we need your help to keep it going.
- We need approximately 3 Volunteers every Sunday at the 9am Family Mass. The Volunteers need to have all the needed Volunteer Requirements met to Volunteer with Kids on Campus: Virtus Trained, background checked & fingerprinted. We will hold a quick training before 9am mass in the next couple of weeks. The best way to train is to sign up to Support the Leader a couple Sundays.
- If you have an older child that loves helping little kids, please also reach out because there is an opportunity for them to help on Sundays as well.
