St. Philip Neri Church is pleased to offer a new Wi-Fi Hearing Assistance System to help everyone fully participate in our worship services.

This system allows you to hear the sermon and other spoken portions of the Mass clearly by streaming real-time audio directly to your smartphone or Bluetooth-enabled hearing aids.  The service is designed to provide a clearer listening experience, especially for those who may have difficulty hearing from certain areas of the church.

Using the system is simple.  Follow the instructions provided below to download the free app and to connect to the wifi.

The Seven Sacraments & the Bible

A reflection from March 20, 2023 at St. Raphael's

An excerpt from a letter received from Rev. Kevin Creagh, CM, Senior Vice President, Mission Integration at Catholic Health Services and friend to us here at St. Philip Neri.

"Catholic Health is committed not only to providing medical and surgical excellence at the highest level but also to addressing the social determinants of health, such as food insecurity. Our six hospital emergency departments and numerous affiliated physician practices now regularly screen for signs of food insecurity.  Those identified as food insecure are provided a "food to go" package and are assisted in applying for ongoing support.

There is a lot of positive energy taking place, and we want you to be fully informed of it.  To that end, we've created a new Parish Support webpage: www.chsli.org/parish-support  I invite you to spend a few minutes reviewing it.  You'll see how Catholic Health can provide a diverse range of services to your parish, including volunteer services,  mobile outreach, free health screenings, educational content and more."
