Our second annual Saint Philip Parish Summer Barbecue has been scheduled for Sunday afternoon, August 24, in Conner Hall.

Once again, our expert parish cooks will be offering a generous combination of meats and side dishes and beverages. You’ll be able to dine with us in Father Conner Hall at Ascension – or order ‘take out’ for dinner at home.

Thanks to our parish volunteers and staff, this will be the perfect meal to celebrate the “end of summer” and the cookout season – without your cleaning your own grill.

Please plan to join us for this special parish event! Mark your calendar now. Information and a Parish Barbecue Order Form will be placed into the parish bulletin in the coming weeks!

MINISTRY OPPORTUNITY
Faith Formation is growing! We are looking for catechists and aides.

We are currently in need of a primary grade catechist, a fourth grade catechist for a small group of 7 children and an aide. Sessions are held on Monday evenings beginning in September. Training will be provided. If you feel called to this ministry, call The Office of Faith Formation at 412-922-6388.

5 Reasons to be a Faith Formation 
Team Member as a catechist or aide:

1. Catechists and aides grow in their own faith as they share it with children and families.
2. You meet terrific people and make new friends.
3. You share a meal each month with parish members at Family Night as you share your faith.
4. You can volunteer each week or as a substitute when your schedule permits.
5. You experience opportunities for deepening your prayer life.
