About this church
The weekend schedule at St. Philip the Apostle Catholic Church starts with 4 p.m. Saturday Mass, followed by Sunday liturgies at 8 and 10:30 a.m. at 11710 U.S. Highway 64 in Somerville. Spanish Mass is offered at 7 p.m. Wednesday and at 12:30 p.m. on the third Sunday; a Filipino Mass is scheduled for 12:30 on the first Sunday. The parish homepage also publishes noon daily Mass Tuesday through Friday, followed on Wednesday by the Spanish liturgy and a 7:30 Spanish prayer group. Seasonal changes should be checked against the current bulletin.
The parish expresses its purpose as following Jesus and inviting the wider community to encounter mercy and grace. Its Fayette County roots go back to May 1975, when the Catholic mission was established after local families raised the need for nearby Mass; its first liturgy was celebrated on May 4 in space rented from the Episcopal diocese. Parish life now includes sacramental preparation, music, Knights of Columbus, and practical care. The Martha and Mary Ministry assists bereaved families by directing funeral parking, preparing food, making calls, and serving at funeral receptions; two volunteer teams alternate so the responsibility is shared. Visitors can choose among three English weekend times, while Spanish- and Filipino-speaking Catholics have clearly identified recurring liturgies. The parish office can clarify feast-day schedules or language-specific celebrations before a longer trip into Somerville.
