Parent Involvement
Parents– please consider being a part of this important ministry! We are always in need of Catechists as class leads and as substitutes. We have amazing resources for your use and a group of dedicated Catechists to help get you started. For more information email Becky at bpursell@stphilip.cc
All parents will be asked to volunteer during 1-2 (more if you’d like!) CCE classes. Your child’s CCE program is run purely by parent volunteers. We CAN NOT be successful without the help of all parents. This is especially true for our Wednesday night class, where your help is especially critical. Religious education is an important class for your child and we need you to be as involved as you are with their daily schooling. We are looking forward to working with all of you. This will be a beautiful way to share your love of Christ and your own faith journey with your children.

We are happy to offer online registration this year! All forms and payments will be completed using the online links provided (you will have the option to pay later by cash or check.) Please use the registration links to the right.
We have included optional VBS registration on the CCE forms to minimize your online "paperwork." Please use this combined form if ANY of your children will attend CCE. You will be able to add siblings and parent volunteers for VBS even if they won't attend CCE.
If your child will not be joining us for CCE, please fill out the "VBS ONLY" registration form.

Christmas Nativity Pageant
This year’s Christmas Eve Nativity Pageant was truly special and a much-needed reprieve from the trials that we have all shared together and endured in 2020. This Christmas Eve was an especially true gift to St. Philip parish as we were back in our Church after recovering from another flood restoration and being amid a worldwide pandemic. To see our children and families healthy, safe, and bringing to life, in a beautiful display, the absolute joy of Jesus’ birth, was truly a Christmas miracle this year!
Our worldwide pandemic did bring about one blessing: more of our parish families were celebrating Christmas at home this year instead of traveling. This allowed for higher participation from our children than in years past. To ensure our Nativity Pageant success, we held two rehearsals, the two weekends prior to Christmas Eve. The rehearsals consisted of casting roles, outfitting costumes, and running through the play multiple times to ensure perfect timing. Our second rehearsal also had the pleasure of having our Music Director, Geri Moulds, attend to enrich our pageant with music, which plays such an intimate part in telling the story. The blend of music, pageantry and our children’s smiling faces illuminated all the beauty of the Nativity on Christmas Eve and in our daily lives.
Special thanks to our Nativity Pageant Coordinators, Heather Wehking and Anne Bednarak, along with their team of helpers: Becky Pursell, Suzanne Burch, and Nikki Metzler for the time and dedication in celebrating Christmas through the eyes of our children! Lastly, big thanks to all our children who participated and made this a cherished gift from our Holy Family and a memorable celebration of the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Nativity Pageant Practice
The young parishioners of St. Philip had their first practice for the Christmas Eve Nativity Pageant. We were so happy to see all their smiling faces. Thank you to the parents who volunteered! We are so excited to watch these kids retell the story of Jesus' birth.
There is still time to be a part of this beautiful event. All youth, grades K-12, of the parish, are invited to participate. Our last practice is Saturday, Dec. 19 from 9:30 am-11:00 am.

Fr. Barker's Visit to First Grade
On Sunday, December 6, Fr. Barker got the chance to visit our first-grade class. We were so excited to have him sit and talk with us. The first graders got a chance to show Father their progress on their Rosary Cross Journey. He prayed the rosary with us at the end of class. Thank you Fr. Barker!

All Saints Day CelebrationThe CCE Elementary students celebrated All Saints Day by dressing up as a Saint of their choosing. The children enjoyed a fun morning learning about the Saints, playing All Saints Day Bingo, and enjoying some time with Father Barker. We believe our students are “MINT” to be Saints and reminded them with a special treat bag of peppermints at the end of the morning. Thank you to all the students (and their parents) and teachers who dressed up and shared fun facts about their Saint.
