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 2nd 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 2 is Renewing and Refreshing our School
Our school is our largest ministry and it is clear that our parishioners love the school. This was the 2nd of the top 2 priorities identified by the parish survey. Many of us consider the school “new” but its been over 15 years since we had our last major capital project to build the current campus. The staff has done a great job taking care of the school but 500+ kids running around all day can cause some wear and tear: Just think of your own house!
We would like to do some basic care and maintenance which would include the following:
- Replace the linoleum flooring
- Paint the interior and exterior of the building
- Completely overhaul the parking lot
- Identify a more elegant storage solution for the containers in the back of the parking lot
These aren’t extravagant steps – but they are necessary to keep our school as the best parochial school in the San Gabriel Valley (says an ex-parent 😊 )
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.
