St. Philip Benizi Catholic Church
Mission Statement

St. Philip Benizi Catholic Church
is dedicated to continuing the Mission of Jesus Christ. 
Endowed with the gifts of the Holy Spirit,
we experience and express the presence of God through prayer,
the celebration of the sacraments and communal life. 

We are a multicultural and diverse community
united by our faith in God,
by our desire to live the Gospel Message
and by our Roman Catholic  Tradition. 

Aware that Baptism calls us all to active participation,
we commit ourselves to the development of lay leadership and lay ministry.

We strive to be a strong and joyful sign of the Kingdom of God
by spreading the Good News, serving those in need, growing spiritually
and living Christ’s Commandment of Love.

Our parish is blessed to have more than 100 volunteers to help staff all of our Faith Formation Programs.  Together, we work to offer the best faith formation and religious education for all ages – from pre-schoolers through adults.  In July 2010, our Education Building was named for our eighth Pastor, Fr. Gregory Hartmayer, OFM Conv., who was instrumental in its design and completion.  It is now called the Hartmayer Education Building.

A quick tour of the building includes Pre-school and lower Elementary classrooms on the lower level.  Our large Adult Faith Formation room (108/110) seats 70 people and is also located on the lower level.  This is where most of our Adult Faith Formation and Confirmation sessions meet.  Older Elementary students generally meet on the upper level.  The Faith Formation Office is just inside the foyer of the upper level entrance where our Administrative Assistant is present to assist you. The offices of the Director of Faith Formation, the Religious Education/Edge Coordinator and the Youth Minster are located in the old Education Building on the upper level.

Middle and High School students in the EDGE and F.O.C.U.S. programs meet in the “Upper Room", which is equipped with video and sound equipment, a stage for bands, and is creatively decorated with EDGE and F.O.C.U.S. art and T-shirts.

All parishioners are invited to visit our classrooms before or after class times.  Our staff is here to serve you!
