===100-year celebration in 2006 ===
St. Philip Roman Catholic Church members celebrated the 100th birthday of the Gothic-style church building -- with its proud steeple overlooking Crafton -- in February 2006.
Bishop Donald Wuerl celebrated mass with the congregation, and a festive dinner at Chartiers Country Club followed.
St. Philip's centennial committee spearheaded fund-raising efforts and managed to raise 75-percent of the $125,000 needed to restore their beloved church in honor of the centennial over two years.
Renovations included newly glazed and gold-leafed detail on carvings inside the church. The ceiling was changed to a lighter caramel color that matches the sanctuary, and the existing blue over the alter was repainted and the curvaceous vines up the alter's sides were re-touched.
