November 8, 2017
St. Philip the Evangelist Episcopal Church will celebrate their 110th anniversary with Homecoming Day on Sunday, November 19, at 9:45 a.m., in the sanctuary at 2800 Stanford Ave., in Los Angeles. The Rev. Dr. Glenn M. Libby, priest-in-charge said, “St. Philip’s can trace its earliest worship services to 1907. It became the first African American congregation in the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles, and today at 110-years-old, is the oldest, historically African American parish still standing west of the Mississippi River. The church building has stood at this corner since its dedication on June 23, 1929. Many who worship here
