Ubi caritas et amor Deus ibi est. |

Where love and charity is, there is God. |
The mission of the St. Philip Women’s Group is to enrich the faith of all women parishioners through Catholic formation and education and to serve God and the parish community through prayer and good works. Through the Women’s Group, we hope to create a place where supportive friendships are formed and women are uplifted. Most importantly we seek to bring all women to a personal knowledge and experience of God’s love as given to us through His Son, Jesus Christ. We seek to be a source of prayer and support for our sisters in Christ, especially when they are struggling.
