Next week - Parish Picnic!We have scheduled our annual parish picnic for June 22nd after our 9:30 AM worship service. This is a relaxed and fun opportunity to bring family, friends and neighbours to celebrate the wonderful community we share at St. Philip. We look forward to giving a warm St Philip welcome to some of the community from St Matthias Fairfield at our service and picnic as well. If you would like to organize activities and games, please contact Allen (incumbent@stphilipvictoria.ca), Larry (lanthony@stphilipvictoria.ca) or Judith (jarmstrong@stphilipvictoria.ca). Please send Fr. Allen any names for the list of graduands and educators (any program or level) for a special blessing during the service on the 22nd: incumbent@stphilipvictoria.ca Please note: we will be taking photographs throughout the picnic time that may be posted on our church website or social media. |

Hearing Loop SystemThe Church has a loop system that may assist people with hearing loss by diminishing background noise. This system has been disconnected for an extended period of time. For people wearing older hearing aids, they would have to turn on the T function. For people with newer hearing aids, they should discuss with an audiologist if their hearing aid can be adjusted internally to benefit from a loop system. If people learn that could in fact benefit, please let me know and arrangements will be made to get the system operational. Island Deaf and Hard of Hearing, a non-profit society, employs two audiologists. For people in financial need, donated hearing aids can be made functional for their hearing needs at no cost. For people that purchase hearing aids through IDHH for the same price as commercial retailers, all funds are used to support the numerous programs offered by the Society. - Karen Van Rheenen |
