Join us for the 4:30 p.m. Mass on Sunday, August 3oth in the meadow behind St. Philip the Apostle Church, followed by a potluck BBQ afterwards.  (There will be NO 4:30 p.m. Mass at Sacred Heart Church that day.  We’ll also gather inside St. Philip Church in the case of rain.) 
 
We’re asking everyone to sign up for the needed BBQ items by clicking here, which can be dropped off at the John Paul II Room (the east side of the church itself) before the Mass begins. 
 
We’re also looking for volunteers to help set up, greet in the parking lot, help unload cars, serve as greeters or ushers at Mass, and clean up.  If you can volunteer for one of those service spots, please click here.
 
Join us and help make this parish-wide event a wonderful experience to remember!

The Environmental Ministry is tending the Bill Doll garden behind St. Philip’s, raising vegetables for the Northfield food pantry.
 
We need your help.  All are welcome.  Every Tuesday night at 5:30 p.m., we water, weed and harvest.  Wear gloves, prepare to get dirty and have fun!

Look for this banner/flag at community events in Northfield, Winnetka, and Glencoe this summer.  You'll find other Divine Mercy and Sacred Heart School families to gather with!  Pictured above is the group that gathered at the first Wednesday night concert in Clarkson Park in Northfield.  They also have food and kid activities, so join the group any Wednesday evening this summer!
