Our Faith Formation prayed the Living Rosary Wednesday to honor Our Blessed Mother, Mary.  8th grade through High School formed the "beads" and led the Rosary.  Several parishioners joined the students.  It's good to pray as a parish family.  

The rectory front lawn was host to a wonderfully well-behaved group of animals seeking a blessing.  In honor of St. Francis of Assisi's feast day, Fr. Kieffer offered the Pet Blessing on Saturday, October 5th at 9:00 am.  An enjoyable time was had by all.

The Life Chain was a peaceful / wonderful event promoting the sanctity and dignity of life.  Our Lady of Perpetual Help joined thousands across the United States on Sunday, October 6th 2024 to fight for the rights of the unborn and those elderly or infirm unable to speak for themselves.  Signs were held by paishioners along the highway to support life.  Thank you to all who participated. 

Parents and Kiddos join us for the Faith Formation Kick off!  Meal at August 30th at 6:00 pm, with parent meeting afterwards.  Child care provided.  Kids can check out their classroom and meet their teachers!  It's going to be a blessed year!

Tithing is an essential aspect of being a Christian.  We are asked to give 10% of our earnings to charity.  One of the precepts of the Church is to contribute to the support of the Church.  We are giving you an opportunity to make this easier for you.  We are now offering online and automatic tithing.  Many times we come to Church and only have a couple dollars in our wallet.  Now we can go online and quickly set up our automatic giving so we never forget to support our own church.  Here is the link that allows you to sign up and begin supporting the church in an easy, time-saving, and safe way.
