Remember to get Mom a carnation or a dozen on Mother’s Day! 

All proceeds go to Mother & Child Education Center (formerly Birthright) in Portland .  The Center protects our deepest Catholic belief in the dignity and sacredness of life….”It is the right of every pregnant woman to give birth and the right of every child to be born”  .St. Philip Benizi has always strongly supported Birthright and its Mother’s Day Carnation Sale.  Let us continue to do so.  Carnations are only $1.00 each and will be available after all Masses on Mother’s Day weekend!

Treat that special lady in your life to our

Mother’s Day Breakfast next Sunday,

May 11th from 9 to Noon in the Hall! Mom’s eat FREE! 

Next Sunday, our parish will be taking up a collection for the Catholic Home Missions Appeal.  This Appeal supports missions here in the United States .  The Catholic Home Missions Appeal  offers Catholics across our country a wonderful opportunity to help fellow Catholic practice their faith in such rugged areas as Alaska , Appalachia, the deep South, the Rocky Mountain states, the Southwest, Puerto Rico and island dioceses in the Pacific and Caribbean .  Please give generously to assist fellow Catholics here in America .  It’s one practical way our parish community can be good stewards of God’s gifts and make a difference.
