Frequently-Asked Questions
Where can I park?
​
While St. Philip’s does not have a dedicated parking lot of its own, there are many places to park nearby: Wilson Avenue, the gravel lot next to the Oddfellows’ Hall, Progress Street (on Saturday and Sunday only), and the city lot (free after 5 pm Monday – Saturday and all day on Sunday). It’s important not to park anywhere marked as Town of Blacksburg permit parking only or blocking driveways; cars parked in these spots without proper permits may be towed. On Wednesdays, parking on Wilson Avenue is allowed for church events, and the city lots are free after 5 pm.

Do you have a student ministry?
​​
Yes. The Society of St. Alban is a Christian ministry for college-aged young adults. We welcome you to come worship the Lord in the beauty of the Anglican and Catholic faith. If you are seeking God, looking to grow deeper in faith, or if you are curious about our faith, we welcome you with open arms. Our namesake, St. Alban, was the first English martyr who died for the Christian faith. Like St. Alban, we are firm in our faith and seek to worship the Lord Jesus and proclaim his Holy Gospel with others.
In addition, students may be especially interested in our Wednesday noon Eucharist, Life Together (Wednesday evening dinner, prayer, and Bible study), Theology on Tap, and Christian Formation (Sunday morning before Mass, 10AM). For more information please click here and check out our calendar.
