Spaghetti Dinner: WE'VE MOVED THE DATE!!! and it is coming

soon! our annual Spaghetti Dinner has been moved a month early to October 9 (2nd Sunday of Oct.) to take advantage of daylight savings time and (slightly) warmer weather.

Invite family and friends and have a fun get together at this great event.

Mother & Child Baby Bottle Campaign: As many of you may recall,
St. Philip Neri has been helping to support Mother & Child Education Centers annual baby bottle campaign for many years. The kick-off for this years Campaign is Oct. 2, Respect for Life Sunday. Jeanne McPherson, Business Mgr., volunteered for the organization on the second Saturdays for over a year and saw first hand the wonderful work they do for pregnant moms and families. They visit the center and chose clothing such as nursing bras and baby items such as quilts, soft blankets and diapers. The Exec. Dir. is a very dedicated mom and grandmother herself whose passion has been to make it easier for those needing additional support and assistance with their pregnancybefore, during and after. Thank you, everyone, for your previous support of the Mother & Child Education Center (formerly Birthright). We hope that you will consider supporting this important campaign again this year.
