Welcome to St. Philip’s! Thank you for looking in on us.
St. Philip’s is a relatively small, but growing Episcopal congregation in the
Pioneer Valley of Western Massachusetts. We welcome new people, and are quick
to incorporate them into the life of the church.
St. Philip’s has a
strong youth ministry (especially for the younger children), a solid and
generous program of outreach to the community and the world, and a fine music
program, as well as a passion for ministering to the needs of our own
congregation.
One of my goals is to live a life of prayer and to lead
this congregation in a life of prayer. A doctorate in parish ministry (1987),
a thirty-day silent, directed Ignatian retreat (1995) and the two-year program
through The Academy for Spiritual Formation (2007) have been spiritual high
points for me, as well as resources toward this goal.
