Saint Philip's Priest in Charge - Father Ray Howe

Father Ray Howe

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.
