Saint Philip Parish offers many opportunities for active stewardship of time, talent and treasure! Please notify the Parish Office if you are interested in becoming involved.
Welcome to Saint Philip Parish! We are a vibrant community of intentional disciples in the communities of Crafton, Ingram, Crafton Heights, Sheraden, Elliott, West End and Thornburg.
Our parish includes the parish communities of the former Guardian Angels, Holy Innocents and Ascension parishes. We maintain two worship centers: St. Philip Church in Crafton, and Ascension Church in Ingram, PA. Father James Torquato is Pastor of the parish.
Our Bereavement Support Group meets Thursday, February 19 from 2:00pm to 3:00pm in Conner Hall on the Ascension campus.
We spend about an hour together hearing each other’s stories with compassion and loving support. This is not a psychotherapy group, but fellow parishioners who care for one another and support one another as we travel through the grief process together.
Please consider joining us.
