New to Catholicism?
Please join us for Mass, a retreat, prayer group, bible study or a class. Just because you attend does not mean that you have to become Catholic but once you begin to understand the truths of the Church, you may feel the tug to take that leap and become Catholic. If you are not quite ready, take your time and listen to God’s call. He’ll lead you where He wants you to be on His time.
Our Mission
The mission of Sacred Heart Church & St. Philip Neri Church is to become an evangelizing community of Christian disciples by growing in our personal relationship with Jesus, by deepening our understanding, enthusiasm, and love for the Catholic faith, by increasing our confidence and courage to share the faith with others, and by faithfully living the Gospel in the world.

St. Philip Neri CELEBRATES 100th ANNIVERSARY IN STYLE!
Sunday, October 13, marked a very special day in the storied history of St. Philip Neri in Grand Gorge. The leader of our Albany Diocese, Bishop Edward B. Scharfenberger, and Father Paul Mijas welcomed a full congregation of parishioners to celebrate the church’s 100th anniversary. A mass was held, followed by a festive luncheon that was enjoyed by all!

Faith Formation
As a community of faith, we have an obligation to God and to the Church to pass on that faith to our children. Parents need to show their children, by both word and example, what our faith means and how it should be lived.
