A 50/50 Raffle, Drive-in Bingo, an online silent auction, a parking lot sale and other activities will make up St. Philip’s first UnBlock Party Oct. 2, 3 and 4.

Bingo games begin at 6:30 p.m. The cost is $10/person (Includes one bingo card, hotdog, chips, beverage and scoop of Culver’s custard—additional bingo cards are available for $2.00 each). Thanks to generous parishioners and local businesses there are a wide variety of prizes available (gift cards and more). SPACE LIMITED—REGISTER IN ADVANCE TO ENSURE YOUR SPOT!
