Most Catholic parishes are territorial parishes, existing to serve all Catholics residing in their geographic boundaries. However, personal parishes exist to serve an explicit need or purpose without regard to geographic boundaries. St. Philip Neri is established to serve the students, faculty, staff, and other supporters of the Catholic Center.
