Message From Fr. Bala and the Finance Council

​Dear Parishioners,

With the unprecedented changes that have occurred in our lives the past few weeks, our spiritual needs have become more difficult to meet. Masses and other public services as you know are cancelled. Except for some donations through our online account and mail, our parish is deprived of regular offertory collections.

But, the utility and other expenses continue nonetheless. We have taken action to reduce costs. We are aware too that all of us are hurting right now as a result of the Coronavirus. Yet, we would like to appeal for your generous financial support. You may send your donations through our online account or by way of checks to the parish office: St. Philip's Church, P.O.Box 339, Occidental, CA 95465. 

Thanking you in advance.
Father Bala & Finance Council
