Haiti Ministry
Patti & Tom Caprara
HaitiMinistry@StPhilipMinistries.com
One of God’s greatest gifts is the universal character of the Church, blessing and calling us to live in solidarity with our sisters and brothers in faith throughout the world. Sister Parish relationships help parishes to live out Catholic social teaching. St. Philip’s “Sister Parish” relationship with St. Charles Borromeo in LeBorgne, Haiti dates back to the 1970s. On the first Sunday of the month our second collection is for the Haiti Ministry. In addition to raising funds, our Haiti Ministry actively works with the people of St. Charles helping them in many concrete ways. Ministry Description.

Fort Campbell Ministry
Gene Kleiser
FortCampbell@StPhilipMinistries.com
The Fort Campbell ministry was started several years ago by a retired military family who were members of St. Philip Parish. The family approached the chaplain of the Soldier’s Chapel (Catholic Chapel) of Ft. Campbell with an idea to provide some type of support from St. Philip to families of Ft. Campbell. The chaplain liked the idea and thus the St. Philip/Ft. Campbell ministry was born. The chaplain indicated that needs were greatest among the very young families with babies and small children and that diapers, baby wipes, formula/baby food would help fill those needs. That’s where we are today. St. Philip continues its great generosity to the families of Ft. Campbell and your generosity is much appreciated.

Legal Clinic
Adrienne Kittos

Free Legal Clinics are held through out the year at St. Philip in partnership with the Tennessee Faith & Justice Alliance (TFJA). The TFJA is a project of the Access to Justice Commission. It is an alliance of faith-based groups in Tennessee who commit to providing legal resources to their congregations and communities. TFJA was created to align needs seen at the local house of worship level with possible legal resources that are nearby, perhaps even within the same congregation. The notion is to connect with people in need in a place they already go to seek help with a problem. That place is quite often their place of worship. It operates on a referral model that is designed to pair volunteer lawyers with congregants in need.

Children & Youth

Religious education for our children pre-school through high school. Faith formation is a life-long activity. It is important that parents and families recognize the vital role they play in the faith formation of our youth. Pope John Paul II’s “Familiaris Consortio” teaches that the family is the core of all society for the family teaches one to the meaning of love, which is self-giving. That love will spiral out, first, to other members of one’s own family, then to other families, then to society at large. The family is the vital core of society and its school of social virtue.

Traveling Spirits of St. Philip Catholic Church
Christine Moen
Pilgrimage@StPhilipMinistries.com
The Traveling Spirits Ministry provides St. Philip parishioners and their families and friends* opportunities to go on pilgrimages to nourish their Catholic faith and to deepen their relationship with God.
Becoming a Pilgrim in Today’s World
It’s common to be a traveler in today’s shrinking world. Hop on a plane and land in Ireland. Hop off a cruise ship and disembark in South America. Even pack a car and end up on a coast or Canada! Being a traveler, as wonderful as that may be, is not the same as being a pilgrim.
Pilgrims don’t travel; pilgrims “journey.” Pilgrims take journeys to holy places to hear God’s whisperings more clearly and to see more vividly a path through the everyday. Pilgrims who have “journeyed” to holy places rarely return the same.
We hope you choose to become a pilgrim in today’s busy world. It will make a difference in your life!
Vocation Cup
