Our Lady of Perpetual Help Roman Catholic Parish issued the following announcement on June 21

Dear Parishioners:

I hope that you are doing great during this challenging times. Today I would like to share some encouraging news.

Today, I would like to talk about the tangible/ material things. It is almost one year since Fr. Christopher and myself arrived at this beautiful community. We, along with Fr. Mario, all our deacons, parish and school staff, committed parishioners, donors and volunteers began last year with all the energy to make our parish a better house of prayer for giving Glory to God. Even in the midst of this pandemic, we haven’t stopped working for you and we continue making improvements for our beautiful parish.

The following is an end-of-year review of some of the material things that we have done for better serving you. First days after arriving we began fixing five A/C units: Parish [ main A/C unit], Parish Hall [2 units], and school [4th grade and 6th grade units]; We also renewed the parish hall window blinds; installed a modern lighting system at the exterior of the parish for a better look; planted new agaves and flowers on the exterior of the parish to improve our aesthetics; painted almost all the property: Parish top sides, interior and exterior of the parish hall, Notre Dame Center, remodeled parish offices and rectory, upgraded our obsolete computer systems for providing better services to our parishioners, renewed and fixed many doors, added ten notrespassing signs around the property for the security of our parishioners; wired the top of the basketball court for avoiding pigeons, some of the pews of the Capilla were restored, created a new office for our new assistant principal, lowered expenses with companies we hired [in progress], and other small improvements.

Finally, I think you will be excited for some of the upcoming projects that are coming and which I will share with you in the next letter.

So I would like to thank you for your love, support and generous heart. Together we are doing the impossible and working hard for bringing people back to God.

We are joyful in the midst of these challenging times because we want to make our parish ready for your return.

May God bless you; may our blessed mother intercede for you and take some extra precautions.

In the name of all of us, God bless you.

Padre Ernesto Reynoso, JCL.
