Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish

Heavenly Father, On this Memorial Day, we pray for those who courageously laid down their lives for the cause of freedom. May the example of their sacrifice inspire in us the selfless love of your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. Bless the families of our fallen troops, and fill their homes and their lives with your strength and peace. In union with people of goodwill of every nation, embolden us to answer the call to work for peace and justice, and thus, seek an end to violence and conflict around the globe. We pray this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Bishop Cistone has formally decreed that the parishes of St. Roch, St. Felix, and St. Francis Borgia will merge together, forming the new parish of Our Lady of Perpetual Help. The provisions of this decree are to take place on July 1, 2013. The parish church will be St. Roch, with St. Francis Borgia being an additional worship site/campus. Fr. Robert Par will serve as pastor of the new parish.

A pledge to the Catholic Services Appeal is a great act of generosity. It is an opportunity to participate in the Church beyond our parish. Your continued support will enable our diocesan ministries to reach out to thousands of our brothers and sisters. Our parish assessment is $28,939. We are confident that we will exceed this goal, but we need the help of everyone. To date, 16% of our parishioners have responded THANK YOU! Remember that any amount raised above our goal stays in the parish. Thank you again for your generosity!!

There is a box in the back of Church to collect items to send overseas for our troops.
