- Hospital/Nursing Home/Homebound Ministry offers Communion visits to those who cannot attend our regular Masses. They bring Christ himself in the Eucharist and in gifts of compassion and friendship that we have all received from God.
- Grief Support is open to anyone who is experiencing the loss of a loved one. Please contact Deacon Sean for a current meeting schedule.

- Adult Education is ongoing formation for adults in the parish. This can range from Bible studies, book discussion groups, evenings of reflection, and so much more. The purpose of these opportunities is to grow in our faith and deepen our relationship with the Lord.
- Senior Socialites meet the second Thursday of every month for lunch, conversation and prayer from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. in Room 1.
- RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) is the process for welcoming new members into the Catholic Church: those who are not baptized, those who are baptized in another Christian denomination but who wish full initiation into the Catholic Church, for baptized Catholics who have not had the opportunity to receive the Eucharist and/or Confirmation, and or Catholics who would like an update in the understanding of the Catholic faith. (Contact Deacon Sean McGreal at 630-628-0900 x111 or e-mail smcgreal@st-phil.org for more information on RCIA.)
