Faith Formation Calendar

St. Philip Neri Christ in Christmas Program "Give from the heart..." Each year, St. Pius does an outstanding job of providing Christmas to approximately 330 children. We usually assign one child to a red or green trash bag (red for girls, green for boys). The bags will be distributed as follows: Friday, November 11th from 2:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. during SPX School pickup, Saturday, November 12th from 4:30 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. in the Church Narthex, and Sunday, November 13th from 8:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. in the Church Narthex. If you take a bag, we ask you shop for all the items on the list and place them "unwrapped" in the bag. Each bag will cost approximately $150 to complete. While many families will be able to provide all items for a child, some families may choose to join another family to adopt a child. If you are not able to take a bag, we will have envelopes in the parish and school offices for monetary donations. The needs of each child will consist of an outfit (top and bottom), sweatshirt, package of socks, package of underwear, mittens/gloves, hat, and toy. Toys include; art sets, baby dolls, trains, blocks, sports balls, Barbie's, etc... (no battery operated or electric toys please) In addition to the bags, we have Christmas trees up in the Narthex and the school atrium (for those that can't take a bag) and the ornaments include pajamas, diapers, coats, and Legos.
