Ministry Program |
St.
Philip's Parish has an active youth ministry program.
Since its inception in 2000, our youth have particpated
in service activities, social events, spiritual experiences,
and a varitey of short trips. Over 100 students have
been involved over the years.
Beginning September 21, 2003, youth will meet at the
end of their Sunday night Religious Education class
twice a month to plan events, socialize and pray. We
are fortunate to have both a Youth Lounge and a Game
Room, complete with furniture (donated by members of
the parish), ping pong table (donated by Women's Auxiliary),
fooseball tables and air hockey (all donated by parishioners),
and a computer system (also donated by a parishioner).
During the summer of the past three years, youth of
our parish have participated in a week-long Work Camp.
The youth live at the parish for the week and go out
each day in teams to do volunteer work in the community.
Organizations served to date include: PAI, YWCA, YMCA,
Conestoga View, Office of the Aging, Milagro House,
Clare House, and various private residences. At night
the youth go to Eagle Falls (water slide, mini golf
and go carts), Outdoor World and Hershey Park. There
is also one night where we hold an Open House for parents,
friends and parishioners. More parish involvement and
support is a goal for the coming year. |
