Health and Safety Procedures at St. Philip

Under current Virginia and Fairfax County regulations designed to slow the spread of Covid 19, you must practice social distancing practices while inside St. Philip buildings. This includes the church, meeting rooms, restrooms and all public spaces, at all times. The regulations require wearing a mask, maintaining at least 6 feet between non-family members, and not congregating in groups before or after Mass or other events. Anyone who does not observe these requirements will be asked to leave the building. Groups that do not observe these restrictions will have their meeting privileges revoked. Thank you for your observance of these important health and safety procedures.

Statement on St. Philip Early Childhood Center

St. Philip Parish has recently had to make a very difficult decision regarding the Early Childhood Center. Weshare this decision here with a heavy heart. In this month of the Sacred Heart, we ask that you join us in entrusting all our endeavors – past, present and future – to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, confident that He will bless us at St. Philip Parish.

Baptisms

In spite of the disruptions of the past months, we are still conducting Baptism classes – via Zoom or phone – and we are doing Baptisms. If you would like your child (0-7 years old) baptized, just call the rectory and either Kim or Sandra will get back to you with details on the preparation process. Children 7 years and older have their baptism preparation in our Religious Education Program. For details on that, contact Mrs. Pamela Copley, Director of Religious Education.

Class on Vocations

Here is something to consider: a Class on Vocations assembled by Mrs. Pam Copley, our Director of Religious Education. Mrs. Copley has gathered various videos and testimonials coupled with discussion questions to help young people discern God's call. While ideal for families with teenagers or for young adults, it would benefit everybody seeking to know more about vocations, whether to marriage, priesthood or religious life.
