  • Food For the Needy:
    Food collected by St. Philip & St. James Church is given to Catholic Charities Food Bank on Jersey Ave, Phillipsburg, to assist local families who are in need. Food is collected the first Sunday of each month in the Church at the Masses. Items should be placed before the altar or in the boxes inside the back entrances.
  • Adopt-A-Missionary:
    Cans are placed at all exits once a month after Masses to collect for Missionaries around the world who are in need of financial support.
  • Second Collections:
    Second collections are separated from first collections and counted. The total amount from the collection is given in one total check to the designated recipient. If the collection is designated to a particular church fund, the total amount is placed into that section of the church's account for the intended use.
  • Online donation system:
    Online donations may be made at any time. You may create a recurring payment if you would like to use the system for your weekly/monthly offertory donation or you can donate a single time. You also have the choice to register or make anonymous donations. Currently, the system does not include holy day collections or second collections. Online donations are credited to your tax statement for the end of the year (except when made anonymously), and each user can change his or her preferences or amounts at any time.

  • About Our Parish Appeal:
    2012 Parish Appeal has now begun. The Building and Grounds Committee, along with the Finance Council, have set our goal for this year's Parish Appeal at $200,000.00 in order to replace the carpet beneath the pews with oak flooring, replace carpet tiles at the doors, add a new carpet runner to the center aisle, and refinish all pews and replace kneelers. This can be accomplished if every family prayerfully gives as much as they can. Remeber, no gift is too small to help - every gift represents a commitment to God and St Philip & St James Church.

  • Parish Appeal Memorial Option:
    During the Parish Appeal, the church is proud to offer our parishioners a memorial name plate which will be mounted on one of our refurbished pews. With a gift of $1,000.00, the whole pew will be dedicated to the name on the memorial plate. Half a pew will be dedicated with a gift of $500.00.
