My dear parishioners, Since the Imelda storm, we’ve reached out to every registered parish household in different ways. Every time you talk about St. Philip to others in a positive way, you are keeping us alive...

Pray to protect human life. Let Us Pray this Novena Together: January 21—29th “The over 56 million abortions since the 1973 decisions of Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton reflect with heartbreaking magnitude what Pope Francis means by a “throwaway culture.” However, we have great trust in God’s providence.

***Pastor's Important Message *** September 22, 2019 Dear Parishioners, another flood. There are no words for this.  But we give thanks to God for his unsearchable ways and countless blessings.  God's Holy Spirit is our consoler and friend.  Today, Sunday, is for our parishioners' rest.  I am very grateful for all who turned out yesterday to work in difficult conditions. Thank you to Andrea Wight who brought food! Service Master is at work now.  The pews are being removed and elevated.  The dryer trucks will be here this afternoon, and the Church will be cooked for a few days.   Let's all pray one Hail Mary and thank our heavenly Father for his love.   In Christ our Lord, Father Barker
