Our Parish’s History
The Early Days
Our Catholic community is closely connected with
the early history of this area. Just over 150 years ago,
Indians roamed the land where we live. They hunted
its prairies and fished the stream that wanders
through the village.
In 1854, John Happ sold the blacksmith shop he had
opened in Winnetka after arriving from Trier, Germany in 1843, and moved with his nine sons and
one daughter to a farm in Northfield. During the latter half of the century, the area was farmed for hay,
grain, alfalfa, mushrooms and horseradish. John was
a Catholic and attended St. Joseph Church in Wilmette. The Happ, Levernier and Seul families were
among the first settlers in the area.
In the early 1920’s, this little community was dramatically changed when the Skokie Valley Line of
the North Shore Railway was built. The village got a name in 1926: it was called Wau-Bun, an Indian word meaning dawn, which was also the name of a Potawatomi chief who had camped there in
the 1700s. The name didn’t last very long. John Happ, the grandson of the original pioneer and first
village president, presided over its change to Northfield in 1929—more euphonic it was thought.
There were almost 280 residents at the time. The village had a burst of progress and growth, and
then hibernated during the Great Depression. In 1930 the population was 320.
Formation of the Parish
At the end of the Second World War, America’s population exploded as expected, but unlike other
areas, Northfield didn’t experience amazing growth. By 1947, restrictions and price controls were
ending. Soldiers and sailors were back in civilian life; families were reunited. The Yankees won the
World Series; Notre Dame was undefeated; Ben Hogan was the golf champion; the Marshall Plan
was begun to rehabilitate Europe, which experienced intolerable cold and hunger that year. President Truman was proving a surprising leader. People cried that prices were skyrocketing. Pope Pius
XII was the leader of the Church. Here in the Chicago area, after a long moratorium on any new
building, Samuel Cardinal Stritch finally lifted the ban and founded a number of new parishes.
The archbishop knew that the need for housing was bringing thousands of Catholics to the suburbs.
In 1947, he and his advisers chose ten places that most needed a parish. Fr. Donald Temple was finishing eighteen years as a professor of Greek and English at Quigley Seminary. He was asked to take
charge of forming a parish in the little village of Northfield, twenty miles north of the Loop, three
miles west of the shores of Lake Michigan.
The parishioners were grateful to Sacred Heart, St. Joseph, St. Norbert, and SS. Faith, Hope and
Charity Parishes, but they wanted their own spiritual home. The first Mass was offered on the last
day of August 1947 by Father Temple in the basement of Sunset Ridge School. A house for Father
Temple was later acquired at 2111 Old Willow Road, where the spiritual and temporal affairs of the
parish were administered for sixteen years. Sunday Masses were offered on the porch during the
spring, summer and fall, with the people on the lawn and a tent to cover them from sudden rain and
the beating sun. Father Temple purchased a school bus so that Catholic children in Northfield could
attend classes at Sacred Heart School in Hubbard Woods. Al Levernier, a pioneer in the Northfield area and trustee of St. Philip’s
Church, purchased five acres of land from the Wagner family and
donated it for the use of the new parish. Because parish revenues
for 1947 and 1948 were limited, the archdiocesan consultors turned
down plans for a $152,000 combination church-school building,
reasoning that it was unrealistic to think parishioners could carry
such a large debt. However, permission was granted for a simple
church structure, minus the classrooms. It was for lack of numbers,
not of spirit. In September 1950, ground was broken at Old Willow
and Happ Roads for St. Philip the Apostle Church. Mass was offered
for the first time in the new temporary church (now the gymnasium) on Christmas 1950. To meet the interest payments on the
mortgage, parishioners held card parties and social functions. Still,
they dreamed of a parish school.
When the people heard there would be no school, they were dismayed and the pastor was discouraged. Other parishes were growing and building, but St. Philip was not, at least not much, not
enough. Father Temple had said, “Some day we’ll have a real church.” His final appearance as pastor took place on October 21, 1951. On that day, Auxiliary Bishop William E. Cousins dedicated St.
Philip the Apostle Church, which had been completed according to the plans of Barry Byrne, a protégé of architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The day also marked the 25th anniversary of Father Temple’s
ordination. He died on December 23, 1960, at the age of 58.
Parish Growth
Fr. John Henry, a former assistant at St. Thomas Aquinas Church in Chicago, was named pastor of
St. Philip’s on December 10, 1951. He was convinced that the parish would never grow without a
school, so he pleaded with the archdiocesan consultors for permission to build one. Although the
weekly collection amounted to only $200 at the time, permission was granted after a successful
fund drive in which $37,000 was pledged by the parish’s 109 families. An eight-room school with
temporary convent quarters was built at 1980 Old Willow Road.
Three Sisters of St. Dominic from Sinsinawa, Wisconsin opened St. Philip the Apostle School on
September 10, 1953, with an enrollment of 87 students in grades one through six. When school reopened in the fall of 1954, 168 students were in attendance in grades one through eight.
In 1954, four more adjoining acres were purchased
by the parish, confident that its membership would
increase in the coming years. The story of Father
Henry’s dedicated efforts has been told and retold.
The Women’s Guild and the 500 Club put aside their
personal plans and worked many days far into the
night to see that the dream became a reality. On December 14, 1962, the sisters moved into the new
convent, which had been built at 1976 Old Willow
Road according to the plans of architect Larry
Schwall. Before long, the present rectory at 1962 Old
Willow Road, also designed by Schwall, was completed. The priests’ former residence at 2111 Old
Willow Road was sold to the John P. Gallagher family. Of course, there was a sizable debt in the hundreds of thousands.
The Dedication of the Church
The temporary church had been built according to the drawings of Barry Byrne. For the design of the new church, Father
Henry turned to parishioner Alex H. Bacci of Schmidt, Garden
and Erickson. They put their heads together and harmonized
the new structure with the existing buildings, resulting in a
striking unity with the apex at Happ Road. Beautiful panels of
faceted and stained glass form the frontal fenestration. The
Holy Trinity and our heavenly patron, St. Philip, are symbolically depicted. Note the triangle, symbol of the Trinity, and
the color green representing the hope of salvation in Christ. In
the two lower panels, blue for heaven and brown for earth,
suggest God’s creation.
There is a beautiful baptistery, a circular staircase leading to the choir and, originally, a bell tower
supporting a stainless steel cross. The interior of the church makes a remarkable impression with
its simple, chaste beauty. It is unmistakably a church, with the tall, concrete arches supporting the
roof beams and calling the people to lift their hearts and minds to God. The serpentine masonry
walls of the side aisles faced with gold and white mosaic are striking. But it is the sanctuary that is
eye-catching for its white and green-veined marble, with everything focusing on the beautiful marble altar, where the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is offered. It is surmounted by a high oak cross with
a lindenwood corpus carved in Florence, Italy by Rinaldo Senoner.
Mass in the new church was celebrated for the first time on Thanksgiving Day, November 28, 1963. On March 8, 1964, Albert Cardinal
Meyer dedicated the new parish church, convent and rectory. At the
time of the dedication, St. Philip’s Parish numbered 475 families,
with an enrollment of 371 children in the parish school. On the first
day of 1967, Father Henry’s great heart broke, and God called him
home. He had finished his work.
Fr. William Dorney, from St. Thomas the Apostle Parish in Hyde Park, was appointed pastor by
John Cardinal Cody. One of his first concerns was the parish school. The faculty was increased,
and a new library was added at a cost of $25,000. Under Father Dorney’s leadership, the reforms
called for by the Second Vatican Council were implemented at the parish.
The silver jubilee of the founding of St. Philip the Apostle Parish was celebrated on November 26,
1972. Following the retirement of Sister Joseph, O.P., Margaret McMahon became the first lay
principal of St. Philip the Apostle school, which celebrated its twentieth anniversary in 1973. The
Sinsinawa Dominican Sisters left the school in 1975 and were followed by a community of Servite
Sisters, who taught until 1987.
At the time Father Dorney began his work in Northfield, the parish debt stood at $304,200, with
annual interest payments of $18,000. Although the parish numbered only 500 families, the Sunday collections averaged $1,800 per week. Through the generosity of the parishioners, the parish
debt was retired by the end of 1974.
Father Dorney retired in 1981 and was succeeded for four years by Fr. Richard Saudis. In 1985,
Joseph Cardinal Bernardin appointed Fr. Laurence Dunn, who had previously served here as an
associate pastor, as the new pastor of St. Philip’s. By 1987 it was clear that the parish facilities
were in need of an overall refurbishing, so $300,000 was raised for this purpose by the “No Frills
Campaign.” When the archdiocesan-wide Millennium Campaign began, St. Philip’s parishioners
pledged over $1 million to upgrade all our facilities with new roofing, electrical wiring, tuckpointing, landscaping and improvements to the heating and air conditioning system. However, due
to declining enrollment and increasing costs, St. Philip’s School had to close in 2003 after providing
excellent Catholic education for 50 years. That same year Francis Cardinal George appointed Msgr.
Robert J. Dempsey as St. Philip’s sixth pastor.
Where We Are Today
Today St. Philip’s is going strong. Our parish includes 570
families and continues to attract new parishioners each year.
Our Parish Religious Education Program (PREP) educates
over 105 children each year in the Catholic faith. With the
closure of St. Philip’s School, the parish enjoys good financial footing by leasing the school building to the Hyde Park
Day School. Long-standing organizations, such as the
Women’s Guild and the Men’s Club, continue to be strong, providing social and educational programs for the parish and our local community. Our parish gives generously to our sharing parish, St.
Benedict the African, which relies on our help to offer their parishioners faith formation and to support their everyday needs.
In honor of the parish’s sixtieth anniversary seven years ago, plans were
initiated to enhance our facilities. The Buildings and Grounds Committee,
together with the Parish Finance Committee, developed a plan to provide
more accessibility for our handicapped worshipers. A bathroom has been
installed in the front of the church in the space between the rectory and
the church building. A new addition was constructed along the east wall
of the church. This room provides more meeting space for our many parish activities. A new bell tower has replaced the old one that had to be
torn down several years ago. Thanks to a donation from the Women’s
Guild, a new parish sign has been erected on Old Willow Road.
We are sixty-seven years young and have come a long way. We pray that
the Lord will continue to bless the success of our parish for many generations to come.

Saint Philip the Apostle
The Patron of Our Parish
Feast Day: May 3
The patron saint of our parish, St. Philip, came from
Bethsaida in Galilee and was called by the Lord to follow
him the day after St. Peter and St. Andrew. He may have
been a disciple of John the Baptist and is mentioned as
one of the apostles in the lists of Matthew, Mark, Luke,
and in Acts. Aside from the lists, he is mentioned only by
John in the New Testament. He was called by Jesus himself and brought Nathanael to Christ. Philip was present
at the miracle of the loaves and fishes, when he engaged
in a brief dialogue with the Lord, and was the apostle approached by Hellenistic Jews from Bethsaida to introduce
them to Jesus.
Just before the passion, Jesus answered Philip's query to
show them the Father, but no further mention of Philip is
made in the New Testament beyond his listing among the
apostles awaiting the Holy Spirit in the Upper Room.
Later stories about Saint Philip's life can be found in the
anonymous Acts of Philip. This non-canonical book recounts the preaching and miracles of Philip. Following
the resurrection of Jesus, Philip was sent with Bartholomew to preach in Greece, Phrygia, and Syria. Included in
St. Philip the Apostle, Albrecht Dürer c. 1526
the Acts of Philip is an appendix entitled "Of the Journeyings of Philip the Apostle: From the Fifteenth Act Until the End, and Among Them the Martyrdom." This appendix gives an account of Philip's martyrdom in the city of Hierapolis. According to this account, through a miraculous healing and his preaching Philip converted the wife
of the proconsul of the city. This enraged the proconsul, and he had Philip and Bartholomew
tortured. Philip and Bartholomew were then crucified upside-down, and Philip preached from
his cross. As a result of Philip's preaching the crowd released Bartholomew from his cross, but
Philip insisted that they not release him, and so he died on the cross. The Church regards the
accounts of his death as legendary.
Prayer for St. Philip the Apostle
O glorious Saint Philip, at the Last Supper you said to Jesus, “Lord, show us the Father and
it will be enough for us.” Help us to make this our prayer also and to seek God in all
things. Obtain for us the grace to know the Father and Jesus Christ whom he has sent―for
in this does eternal life consist.

Our Parish Religious Education and CARE Programs
St. Philip the Apostle’s Religious Education Program is led by faith-filled
people, guided by the Holy Spirit and the Gospel, striving to share the
Good News of Jesus Christ…
to CELEBRATE together because the Lord is in our midst and dwelling
within us, to CARE about each other, sharing our joys and sorrows, to
GROW in awareness of Jesus, alive and active in our lives, to HELP our
children learn Christian values and set goals, to INVITE everyone to
share in one another’s goodness, talents, hopes and visions.
The people of St. Philip the Apostle REACH OUT to ALL because we are
sisters and brothers in Christ!
St. Philip the Apostle’s Parish Religious Education Program (PREP and
CARE) recognizes that parents are indeed the primary religious educators. It is through parents, together with and supported by other members of the faith community, that the Gospel of Jesus is proclaimed and
celebrated.
Our parish program, cooperating with the parents of our students, endeavors to reinforce the faith life of our young people in three important
ways:
First, PREP/CARE attempts to build a community of faith among the
catechists and students through regular Mass attendance, shared prayer,
and other activities.
Second, PREP/CARE encourages and enables its participants to become
like Jesus, persons of loving service to others.
Third, PREP/CARE seeks to help not just the students, but their parents
and catechists as well, to grow in their knowledge of Church traditions,
teachings and doctrine, and the unconditional love of God for us all.
Based on the primacy of parental involvement and supported by the
cooperative efforts of the total parish community, the Parish Religious
Education Program of St. Philip the Apostle has for its goals the forming
of a Christian attitude and the development of faith in each individual –
parent, child, catechist.
PREP is offered to elementary and junior high school students who do
not attend Catholic school. The sessions are held on Sunday mornings
from 10:30 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. in the school building, led by our generous
volunteer catechists.
CARE (Children and Religious Education) is designed for kindergartenage children (five years old). It uses stories, poetry and hands-on activities to help children tell their own stories and reflect on their feelings
and choices as filtered through the Gospel message of Jesus. The program also meets Sunday mornings from 10:30 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. in the
school building.
For more information about either programs, contact our Director of Religious Education, David Retseck at (847) 446-8390.

Parish Transformation
Initiative
Our parish recently went through the Parish Transformation initiative as part of the archdiocesan strategic plan. Through prayer, discussion, a lot of
dedicated time, and a tremendous amount of hard
work, objectives and an action plan were created
for the parish. Below is the mission narrative that
was written as the foundation of the objectives and
action plan that will be put in place in the shortand long-term future.
Mission Narrative
“Come and see.” (John 1:46). With those words our patron saint, Philip the Apostle, invited Nathanael to come and meet Jesus, the Messiah. A personal invitation – followed by a connection to
Christ – delivered awesome rewards on earth and even greater ones in heaven.
St. Philip the Apostle Church in Northfield also extends a personal invitation to Catholics looking for a parish home and to our current members – children, teens, and adults. We invite you to
connect more deeply – or if you have been away for a while – to reconnect to our faith, to our
God, and to one another across our parish community. Ultimately we hope that what unites us
will be a shared commitment to love of neighbor, the sacraments, and the truths and traditions of
our Catholic faith.
Although we are small in size, we are big in heart and welcoming in spirit. It’s easier to meet
people at St. Philip’s, to find opportunities to use your gifts to help others or be enriched yourself, and to grow in faith and love of the Lord. Some parishioners have been here since our
founding 67 years ago. We have second- and third-generation families. Many others have joined
over time. We welcome one and all, including those who are interested in exploring the truth
that the Catholic Church offers and joining our family of faith.
We’re on a journey to help transform our parish. We want to become a more vibrant Catholic
community that grows in size and in love and service to our God and to each other. At the heart
of who we are as a parish are our prayer life and worship – most especially the Holy Eucharist.
Because we must understand our faith in order to grow in faith, we offer many catechesis opportunities that discuss and explain our Catholic beliefs. We also believe in reaching out to others to
evangelize about the Good News of Christ and share his promises of love, mercy, and forgiveness.
Prayer and Worship. Catechesis. Evangelization. These are the building blocks of St. Philip’s today. They help us hold fast to our faith, in a spirit of peace and love, amid the challenges that the
secular world presents. They are also key to successfully transforming our parish so that we become a more dynamic, energized, and engaged family of believers.
Together – and through the grace and power of the Holy Spirit – we can transform St. Philip’s,
our community, and even the world around us. The rewards are great. The choice is yours. Won't
you "come and see"?

Finance Committee
The St. Philip Finance Committee has been an invaluable resource for the parish over the last three decades. According to canon law, a parish’s Finance Committee is to serve in an advisory and consultative capacity to the pastor in ensuring the responsible and forward-looking stewardship of the parish’s resources for the continuation of
the parish’s mission and goals. The Finance Committee schedules quarterly meetings throughout the year and
other specific meetings as necessary. Meetings focus upon quarterly reports, the end-of-year statement and projection reports; the Finance Committee also attends to extraordinary expenditures and to the parish properties’ maintenance schedule.
