YOUTH MINISTRY promotes all-around activities for teen age youth of the Parish basically in grades 8 - 12.  This includes Apostolic service (gifts for the Forestville Pregnancy Center, other support groups); Social events (camping, parties. dances); Spiritual development (retreats, living stations, March for Life); and Educational events (sharing, discussion, Catholic understandings).  The students participate in what is known as "TIHI" or "Teens in His Image."

ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION

The Athletic Association promotes the athletic and spiritual development of youth in the church and school by offering active involvement in fall and spring sports.  Participants are taught how to play as well as to do so with good, Christian sportsmanship.  There are organized CYO basketball, cross-country track, and soccer in the fall.  Softball, T-ball, baseball, track and field, and soccer are available in the spring for boys and girls.

Looking to the NFL season opening this fall, raffle tickets for the Redskins home games are now available for only $10.00. This activity is one of the major sources of revenue for the athletic programs at Saint Philip the Apostle Parish.  The other major fund raiser for athletics is the annual crab feast.  This will be Friday, August 12, 2011 in the Social Hall.  Check out the flyer for details

Thinking positively that the NFL will play, you can get your raffle ticket from any team member or by calling the Rectory (301 423-4244).  Chances for an opportunity to see one of the eight home games are only $10.00.  _________________________________________________________________________
