The Retreat for the men of Saint Philip will be held at St. Paul of the Cross Retreat Center on the Southside from Friday, March 27 to Sunday, March 29. The retreat begins with Mass at 5:15pm on Friday and concludes at noon on Sunday.
If you have any questions, please call Al Bannon at 412-853-1341 or Joe Hoover at 412-310-6691.
If you have never attended here are five reasons to consider attending the retreat
1. Time to reflect in quiet prayer
2. Time to enjoy good food and great dining
3. Time to meet and network with others
4. Time to celebrate the Sacraments even if it has been a while
5. Time to renew your faith and strengthen your relationships
Mark your calendars for our annual Saint Philip Parish Fish Fry!
Join us for these excellent dinners and gatherings every Friday of Lent through April 3 from 4:00pm until 7:00pm.
If you and your family members can lend a hand, or two, please join our team of Fish Fry volunteers. Call the parish office this week, and speak with our parish staff about your interest in volunteering!
