❤️‍🔥 Happy Feast of St. Philip Neri ❤️‍🔥

Last night the men of our group processed with St. Philip for Solemn Vespers at St. Jude. Accompanying our Holy Patron as we honored his transit into Heaven was a moment filled with great spiritual consolations for our entire community.

Special thanks to the Fathers of the Oratory of Pharr, to the St. Jude choir.
