The Scrip buying year for tuition ends on May 31, 2019. Purchases made on or before this date will be credited toward your tuition for 2019-20. Purchases made after that date will begin accumulating for 2020-21. If you have questions, contact the parish office or stop at the Scrip table after Mass. Rebate amounts will be available by July so you know your tuition adjustment.

Scrip buyers: If your last child is graduating from SPS and he/she is attending PND, please let us know so we send the rebate to PND. Or, if your last child is graduating from PND, contact us to send the rebate to your child’s college. Remember, you can also designate your rebate to another family from St. Philomena if you no longer have children in school.

Sr. Mary Rose Bingham, OP, from the Nashville, Dominicans will return to St. Philomena Parish in June 2019 to offer Catechesis of the Good Shepherd training for parents, teachers and catechists. The training will be offered for both level I and level II. The level I training is for those working with children ages 3-6 years of age and level II is training for those working with children 6-9 years of age. The training is open to non-St. Philomena parishioners and often draws a diverse crowd allowing for a fruitful collaboration with other programs. To learn more about or register for either training, please visit our website https://www.stphils.com/church/catechesis-of-the-good-shepherd-training/ .

Uniform sale drop off boxes are located inside the doors of school and in the parish center link. Items accepted: St. Philomena uniforms, school shoes, book bags, spirit wear, sports uniforms (soccer shirts, etc), sports equipment. Please be sure to put your name on your donation bag so you get the chance to shop the sale early. Sale will take place in July in the parish center basement. Questions, contact Mandy Meier 369-8940.

If you are an Amazon shopper, consider using the URL smile.amazon.com/ch/37-0794772. It’s the same as shopping on the “regular” Amazon, except AmazonSmile then donates to St. Philomena Church & School. Don’t forget to purchase your Amazon Scrip, too. Amazon Scrip works on AmazonSmile.

Have you made a pledge for the 2019 Annual Diocesan Appeal? There is still time. A gift to the ADA, large or small, can go a long way. Consider a one-time gift or a monthly pledge through February. There are cards at each entrance by the bulletins and in the parish office. Every dollar raised to make our goal supports important diocesan ministries. Every dollar raised over our goal will be kept in the parish. See the bulletin for an updated showing of our progress.

See the bulletin to order your Festival tickets at pre-sale prices. Or, click here to download the form on the website.

Would you and your family like to take up the gifts at the offertory during weekend Mass? If you attend the 4:30pm, 9am or 11am Mass and are interested just stop and see an usher on the way in or sign up in the offertory binder located in the main vestibule of church. We are always looking for families who would like to participate in Mass.
