Our Parish Vision Statement
St Philip Neri Parish will be grounded on the ideals of our Patron Saint; charity, cheerfulness
and humility, as we foster encounters with the transformative love of Jesus Christ. We
envision a welcoming community and joyful liturgical celebrations, characterized by
inspirational homilies, beautiful music and conscious participation by all parishioners. We
will listen and respond to the needs of the faithful and disengaged. We will provide lifelong
faith formation for all ages, focused on deepening a personal relationship with Jesus. We
will be the hands and feet of Christ as we actively perform corporal works of mercy and
serve those in need in the Upper Perkiomen Valley.

Our Father, 3 Hail Marys, Glory Be
Reflect
The month of February has traditionally been dedicated to the Holy Family who provide for us a model of marriage and family life. Mary and Joseph perfectly witness to the gift of new life, welcoming the infant Jesus amidst difficult and challenging circumstances. God designed the love of husband and wife to be so complete, so ordered to a lifetime of communion with Himself and each other, that it is open to creating a new human being whom they will love and care for together. Part of God’s gift to husband and wife is cooperation with His creative power. In participating in this “great mystery” of love that is total, faithful, and fruitful, married couples become a sign of the love between Christ and his Church (Eph 5:32). Couples who cannot bear children still share in this cooperation. As St. John Paul II affirmed to such couples, “you are no less loved by God; your love for each other is complete and fruitful when it is open to others.” While a couple does not need to seek to have a child in every act of intercourse, they should never act to reject the life-giving power granted by God through the use of contraception. In deliberately acting to suppress their fertility couples harm their unity. For serious reasons, couples may choose to avoid pregnancy for a time or indefinitely. Natural Family Planning (NFP) can help married couples identify and utilize the naturally infertile times in a woman’s cycle, all while cooperating with God’s design. In today’s culture, living out God’s plan for married love and opening our hearts to the gift of children can be difficult. It can often require great generosity and trust in the Lord. But as Christ repeatedly exhorted, “Be not afraid!” The Church’s teaching on married love is an invitation to let God transform our hearts, knowing God’s plan is far richer than anything the world can offer us.

Due to the situation with the hall and the continued set-up and take down of
chairs, the Senior Club luncheons are cancelled for January and February
2025. Hopefully, we will be able to return in March.
Wishing everyone a blessed and Merry Christmas and healthy and Happy
New Year.
