St Philip Commissions LifeTouch to Produce New Photo Directory

Dear Parishioners and Friends,

We need YOU to make our directory complete!

To celebrate and strengthen the bond within the St Philip parish community, we have made the commitment to produce a new pictorial directory.

A pictorial directory is our parish family album.  A new directory:

• Preserves this special time in the life and ministry of our parish
• Becomes a lasting record of our current parishioners
• Introduces our parish to friends, the community and new parishioners
• Enhances connection by helping us visually put faces and names together
• Becomes an important communication tool

 

We have selected Lifetouch Church Directories and Portraits to work with us on this important project.  Lifetouch is providing the directory at no cost to our parish.  Plus, every family photographed and only those families photographed receives a complimentary directory and an 8x10 portrait!  You can sign up at the parish at weekend Masses or sign up right now online here.  I am encouraging 100% participation!  No Whining.  No Complaining.  No Excuses! 
 

In addition, for every family photographed Lifetouch will donate the value of 4 meals (approx. $2.00) to St. Philip.  These funds will be given to Loaves and Fishes and Meals on Wheels to aid in their ministry efforts.
 

For your convenience, all photography and portrait viewing will take place at our parish.  You will have a variety of poses taken, and Lifetouch never charges a sitting fee!  One pose will be selected for the directory.  In addition to your complimentary 8xl0, you will have the opportunity to purchase additional portraits at very attractive prices on the day of your portrait session.  But of course there is never an obligation to buy.  That is up to you.

You also have the opportunity to invite your extended family and have portraits made with everyone together.  Just schedule together and add additional time spots for each of your extended family units.  Each family unit will be photographed and receive their own complimentary 8x10 portrait.  Lifetouch will then photograph generational poses with everyone together, grandparents and grandkids, or any special poses you would like to have.  The additional families count towards our program but will not necessarily be included in our directory.
 

Be sure to take advantage of the opportunity to be professionally photographed.  Lifetouch offers so many ways to capture the memories.  Your portraits are sure to become valued family keepsakes...  treasured now and for generations to come.

P.S. This is a professional portrait session.  What you wear has a major influence on how satisfied you will be with your portraits.  Be sure to pick up your Portrait Sitting Guide at sign-ups with tips on how to prepare for your session.  We also ask that you allow one hour during which time you will check-in, be photographed and select your portraits.  You will also receive a copy of the price sheet at sign-ups to give you plenty of time to become acquainted with the Lifetouch Point Pricing Program and not feel under pressure when you come.
