The Parish Register, kept by the Rector, contains several sections describing the communicants, historical data, baptisms, confirmations, and marriages of St. Philip's members. This ledger spans the rectorship of several ministers beginning with Mark H. Milne and extends throughout the tenure of the Reverend Edmund Robert Bennett. The communicant records list the names, date, and status of removal, marriage, or death. The baptismal records list the name of the baptized member, along with their birthplace, birthdate, sex, baptismal date and location, up to three sponsors, and the officiating minister. The record of confirmations lists the confirmed member, along with their date of birth, birthplace, date and location of confirmation, the rector presenting the confirmation and the bishop confirming. The marriage records list the date of the marriage, the groom and bride, and their ages and status’ of either bachelor, maiden, widower, or widow. In addition, the marriage records list the residence of the groom and bride, their parents, signatures of witnesses, and the officiating minister. Several of the sections throughout the ledger remain either blank or incomplete.
