The Saint Philip Neri
Parish Community begin in 1960 with the
creation of the Parish by Archbishop Rummel.
Father A. Charles
Kenney celebrated the first mass on July 3,
1960 in "The Tent". The Tent was the
Parish's spiritual home for 27 months.
On October 29, 1962, the Parish celebrated
the inaugural mass in the "Original Church".
In 1964-65, School Buildings 2 & 3 were
constructed and in 1972, the Assembly Hall
was built. The "Original Church" served the
Parish needs until 1979.
The dedication of the "New" Church was
celebrated on July 2, 1979. The church
continues to server St. Philip Neri as the
spiritual center of the Parish.
Since 1991, many projects have been
completed to improve the facilities
available to the Parishioners. The modular
buildings were added and the fence was
erected around the school complex (1992-93).
Since 1994, the parking lost was expended,
the Porte Cochère erected, and School
Building 1 (the "Old" Church) was renovated.
These serve as a sign of improvements to
come. |
