Our Lady of Perpetual Help

Welcome from the Pastor and Deacon

Welcome to our parish. 

Two years ago I came to Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish as its new pastor.  I remember the day well.  I didn't know anyone and was nervous about how I would be accepted.  What I encountered was a wonderful, warm community of Faith that welcomed me with open arms.  Since then I have discovered that I was treated the same way as anyone who comes through the door of our Church.  This is a community that celebrates the presence of Christ through love of God and neighbor.  It lives the works of mercy, especially welcoming the stranger.  It cares for the poor and neglected.  It is alive with a spirit of generosity.  Join us, but do more than that, participate in our worship and community life.   Discover what I discovered that day two years ago.  At Our Lady of Perpetual Help there is always room in the pew and at the table.

My telephone number is 410-798-5161 and e-mail address is olphpastor@msn.com. I would be glad to hear from you.
