Welcome to the Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church!
After receiving authorization to resume public Masses from Bishop Gregory Parkes, and after a prayerful discernment and consultation with the leadership of the Parish Pastoral Council, our weekend public Masses have resumed but are still under strict CDC guidelines.
“Bishop Parkes wants you to understand that the Dispensation from the Sunday obligation to attend Mass remains in effect until further notice and applies to all Catholics. Bishop says that ‘no one should feel guilty for protecting their health or that of their loved ones’.” (Source: OLPH May 24th bulletin)
A Message from Bishop Parkes
Bishop Parkes, diocesan leadership, and a task force studied the Annual Pastoral Appeal (APA), and the process by which the Diocesan Pastoral Center funds its expenses. After much consultation and review, the task force voted unanimously to implement a new financial structure for parishes, donors, and the Diocese. It lessens the financial burden on parishes, allows 100% of donor contributions to go toward ministries instead of administration costs, increases accountability and reduces confusion, that way they will be able to continue providing full transparency.
Synodal Process
Prayer Vigil, February 3rd. 7:00pm
Pope Francis has summoned us to the celebration of the Universal Synod, which on this occasion is entitled: “For a Synodal Church: Communion, Participation and Mission.” The Synod is an opportunity to recover our identity as a pilgrim church, “walking together”. We are called to be a Church that listens attentively to each other, as well as to the Holy Spirit.
If you want to be part of this important stage in the life of the Church join the Local Synod Team in holding a Prayer Vigil on Friday, February 3 at 7:00pm during our regular Healing Mass and Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.
