Our Lady

Prayers to Our Lady of Perpetual Help
Feast Day - June 27

O Mother of  Perpetual Help, grant that I may ever invoke thy most powerful name, which is the safeguard of the living and the salvation of the dying. O Purest Mary, O Sweetest Mary, let thy name henceforth be ever on my lips. Delay not, O Blessed Lady, to help me whenever I call on thee, for, in all my needs, in all my temptations I shall never cease to call on thee, ever repeating thy sacred name, Mary.
 

O what consolation, what sweetness, what confidence, what emotion fill my soul when I pronounce thy sacred name, or even only think of thee. I thank God for having given thee, for my good, so sweet, so powerful, so lovely a name. But I will not be content with merely pronouncing thy name: let my love for thee prompt me ever to hail thee, Mother of Perpetual Help.

OLPH Wall of Honor

At Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish we created a "Wall of Honor", which is located next to the Blessed Mother's Altar of our Church.  Photos of our loved ones who are serving in the military throughout the world are displayed there and remembered in the Prayer of the Faithful at our weekend Masses.  As the service men and women return they will are welcomed home at Sunday Mass and invited to take down their picture.

   

You're welcome to submit your photos  - properly identified, by mail or in person to the rectory, or drop them off in the boxes on the sanctuary steps.  Let's look forward to this wonderful way to honor and pray for our troops!
