2022-2023 Room Parents Needed |
We are looking for room parents for the upcoming school year!
This is a great opportunity to get involved in your child's class! Serving as a room parent fulfills the regular service hour requirement for Tuition Plans A & C (Red Tie Bash, Fall Fest, and Parish Hours are separate from regular service hours).
Please don't hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions about the form or room parents duties at mlhmastro1315@gmail.com.

Parish- Call to Renew Campaign |
|
We are so excited to announce the projects we are working on that will launch St Philips into the next 100 years so that we can continue to be a Sacramental community alive in worship that inspires each parishioner to grow closer to God, become Christ-like disciples, and to go forth to serve others.
This is the 4th of 5 newsletters because we have 5 projects! Remember if you want to get an overview of all 5 projects in one shot, you can click here to access a short You-Tube video recapping all of our projects.

Project 4 is the Exterior Upgrade for the Newman Center
We are thrilled to have the Newman Center back operating on the St Philip campus. In fact, the current Parish Office used to be a Newman Center! Archbishop Gomez recently came to officially open the Newman Center and celebrate our Grand Opening Mass.
If you haven’t seen the Newman Center – just swing by the next time you are at the Parish Office. The Newman Center replaced the St Vincent de Paul storage area/pantry and a classroom to create a vibrant and welcoming interior space for college aged Catholics (including a lot of our own kids!) to meet with like minded young adults. There is no official Catholic support between Confirmation and Marriage and the Newman Center can fill this gap for the 30,000 local students in our immediate area.
Unfortunately the exterior of the building doesn’t offer the same curb appeal and we need to fix this.
- We will build out a welcoming exterior on Hill Avenue to welcome in young adults
- This will include indoor/outdoor space with a patio to bring the exterior to life
- Young adults thrive when they can connect and engage with other young adults
Remember – even a perfect worship experience in our church won’t necessarily bring one more person into our community. This is a critical outreach to evangelize to our young adults at a critical time in their faith formation.
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
On behalf of Fr Tony, please be open to the calls and emails from our ambassadors. We will be calling to set up appointments to share the good news on our projects and discuss how you can support us. Please prayerfully consider your financial support.
Even better – you can request an appointment by calling the parish office or by emailing the Parish Finance Council at PFC@stphiliptheapostle.org.
