For more information give Jennifer (a parishioner of St. Philip’s and director of Churches United) a call at 444-1380. Presently the office is open to serve from Noon to 4 PM Monday through Thursday. There is hope, with additional volunteers, to expand to Friday as well. Thank you to Dan Walter who serves on the board as our parish representative. Churches United is a great ministry and ecumenical effort to meet the needs of people who need help.

St. Philip’s Mission Statement: To Accomplish God’s Work
Relic Tour to Visit St. Philip’s Venerate the relics of St. Thomas More and St. John Fisher, the relics of these two saints who exemplified courage and conviction in the face of persecution are coming to the Diocese of Crookston. St. Thomas More and St. John Fisher were prominent 16th century Englishmen who stood against King Henry VIII’s attempted supremacy over the Catholic Church, and accepted martyrdom instead of abandoning their faith. This witness is especially compelling to American Catholics today, as we face threats to our religious liberty and rights of conscience. The relics of St. Thomas More and St. John Fisher will be at St. Philip’s Church on Monday, June 27. The program with presentation of the relics will be from 2:30 to 3:30 PM.
Thinking about spring cleaning or having a garage sale this summer? Why not donate

proceeds help sponsor youth mission trips. Donations can now be dropped off at the Parish Office during business hours.
Booths are available to rent / $25….contact Paula in the Youth Office for more information.
Sale is Saturday, June 25, 8 AM - 4 PM
St. Vincent de Paul, St. Philip’s Conference, Hosting Bridges Out of Poverty
Pope Francis continually reminds us to seek out and minister to the poor. In order to help, we must first seek to understand the causes and impact of poverty. In this Extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy, join us for a one-day workshop discussing Dr. Ruby Payne’s research on poverty through the lens of economic class. We will look at the research, learn about hidden rules and mental models, explore the roles of family structure, language and story, and examine the resources needed to break the cycle of poverty. The workshop will be held on Saturday, June 18, 2016 from 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM at St. Philip’s. There will be a $20 fee to cover cost of materials and includes breakfast and lunch. Register by Wednesday, June 15 by calling 218-368-6606 and leave your name, phone number, and mention Bridges Workshop.

Items from Holy Land for Sale at St. Philip’s
Representatives from Catholic Bethlehem Christian Families will be with us on the weekend of June 25 & 26, 2016, to ask for your help and blessing for the native people of the Holy Land in Bethlehem. These families, sixty years ago, made up 18% of the population. Due to recent events in the Middle East, it has caused these families to face devastating economical strain, and caused the population to decrease to less than 2% in the Holy Land. These families have relied on the income from their religious hand carved olive wood artifacts to tourist. So we have come to the USA to try to help support these families by bringing their artifacts here to sell in the USA. All the proceed from sales will be send back to the families of the Holy Land so that they may be able to keep their homes and provide their families. The last few years were very tough for the Christian families, and this is the only source of income for them. Please browse their items and have something from the Holy Land.
