Hospitality Ministries
At St. Philip Neri Catholic Church, we strive to be a welcoming parish that reflects the heart, mercy and teachings of Christ, the traditions of the Catholic Church, and the spirit of joy manifested by our patron saint, St. Philip Neri. We pray that you find St. Philip Neri Catholic Church a warm, welcoming home and a place where you can deepen your faith and become a special part of faith community.
