Our Parish Picnic 2026 and Backpack Blessing is still bringing blessings now that school has been established and the parish ministries are blossoming. We wanted to be sure to share a few more photos. ☀

The gathering brought our parish and school community together for Mass, fellowship, shared meals, outdoor games, bingo, and meaningful memories. We’re grateful for our families, friends, coworkers, volunteers, and local fire department for helping make the day so special. 🎒⛪️❤️

📷Enjoy the collage and let's keep making more memories! Be sure to check out our new website ministry page so you can find a place to get involved and get connected. st-phil.org/ministries
