Thank you to all those who have pledged to this year’s Blessed Are the Children campaign! All donations go towards filling the gap of what it costs to educate each child and what we charge in tuition. This year, the gap is $1500 per student and we have a overall goal of raising $365,000. Your contributions to this campaign will go towards ensuring your child(ren) receives an outstanding Catholic education. 

Please check with your employer if they have a matching gift program. Many companies do and will help us meet our goal!

For those who have pledged a Gift of Prayer, and to all our parents, we ask that you continuously keep us in your prayers so that we meet our goal of $365,000. 

Eternal God, You are worthy to be praised because You are able to bless others abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that they need, they will abound in every good work! I thank You in advance for blessing Your children and uplifting them, for in doing so their time on earth has become more endurable. I thank You for being gracious to Your people by allowing them to experience joy in You, Amen.

2 Corinthians 9:8

The Used Uniform Committee will be holding office hours the 1st Friday of each month starting October 7, 2022. Stop by the PTO Closet, outside of the Ministry Center (at the TK parking lot), on Friday 10/7, 11/4 and 12/2 from 7:45 am to 8:30 am if you are in need of used uniforms or would like to drop off donations. If you have any questions, please reach out to the Used Uniform Committee at uniforms@stphiliptheapostle.org.

If your family is on tuition plan A or C, volunteer requirements must be up to date for both parents before service hours can be earned. If you are on a non-service plan but would like to volunteer you must satisfy all volunteer requirements.

We must have the following on file : 

• Current TB

Proof of covid vaccination and/or negative covid test is not currently required to volunteer on campus. 

As a reminder, you must be feeling 100% healthy to volunteer on campus. We thank you for your efforts in helping keep our campus safe and healthy. 

The service hour requirement has been reduced by 4 hours. Tuition plans A and C are no longer required to perform parish service hours. Instead, we encourage you to volunteer at the parish and a maximum of 4 hours will count towards regular school service hours. 

30 hours school + 4 hours Fall Fest + 2 Red Tie Benefit hours (when applicable) = 36 service hours total per school year.

If your child is late because of a doctor or dental appointment, please bring a note to the office from the professional for an excused tardy. 

If you pick up your child early, please sign them out at the front desk. If someone other than the parent picks up a child during the school day, we need a note signed and dated by a parent giving that adult permission to take the child out early. This is the case even if they are on the carpool and/or the emergency list. Thank you for understanding that this is to keep your child safe!

Popsicle Fridays are back! Be sure to send your child to school with $1.00 for a cold treat that will benefit the 8th grade fundraising efforts for the DC trip.

When reporting your child out, please state the reason for the absence. Thank you for being a partner in keeping everyone safe!

You can report your attendance to Karen Conley at kcconley@stphiliptheapostle.org.

The Food Drive to support our Special Needs Ministry is THIS WEEK!  

How You can Help: we are asking for the following donated items:

• canned goods, if possible please purchase those with a pull-up ring on the lid because many of the homeless do not have can-openers.
• peanut butter
• rice
• non perishable foods

When to Bring:  Thursday and Friday morning

Where to drop off: we will be collecting at the drop off car line

Volunteers for Hours: We need a couple of parents to help collect the donated goods and transport to storage.Please sign up here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20F094CADA92AA1F58-food

Why participate:  Due to the ongoing pandemic effects, the need for food is greater than ever. Many in our very own community do not know from where their next meal is coming. This year we are supporting three organizations: Friends In Deed, Mater Dolorosa and Shepherd’s Pantry. 

OPTION for perishable good donation: The Special Needs Ministry will be collecting perishable goods (frozen beef, pork, chicken) on Saturday morning.

Questions? please contact Heather (heatherceron@gmail.com) or Adriene Lynch (Adriene.Lynch@alston.com)

The Touching the Divine Bible study focuses on qualities of Jesus revealed through the Gospel of John. This study draws us into a deeper, loving relationship with Jesus as

we reflect on His life and personality. Saint John referred to himself as “the disciple whom Jesus loved,” and as we study, John will teach us how much Jesus loves us and how His love is the true satisfaction of our souls.
