Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church in Ybor City, Tampa, offers a vibrant array of ministries that serve the spiritual and social needs of its diverse community.
Catholic Young Adults of Ybor, or CYA Ybor, is a regional ministry for Catholics in their 20’s and 30’s. Our home parish is Our Lady of Perpetual Help in the heart of Ybor. Through this ministry we seek to foster community, prayer, and service.
Through the ministry there are a variety of opportunities to help you grow in your faith. We offer weekly Sunday Mass groups, monthly socials, quarterly Theology on Taps, and men’s and women’s groups. We are about to launch small group options as well as a reboot of our men’s and women’s groups.
MDS: The acronym MDS stands for Marriage, Dialogue, Follow-up. The motto of this movement is “With Jesus, everything is possible, and you don’t need to change partners; you just need to change your attitude.” The purpose of MDS is to provide support and assist couples and marriages in their spiritual growth. MDS holds weekly meetings at OLPH that begin at 7:30 p.m. All topics presented are based on the Word of God, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and other books and resources permitted by our church.
