Our Lady of Perpetual Help Roman Catholic Parish issued the following announcement on July 5

May the good Lord find you with peace.

This second part of my letter has to do with the spiritual life of the parish. After being here for a year, I am a witness to the faith of all of you. Your respectful participation in Holy Mass is admirable. I do not want to pass this opportunity to thank all our volunteers, lectors, EM’s, greeters, and everyone else who are directly involved in the Mass. Also, we would like to thank all our different parish groups who have been the living soul of the parish. In these difficult times, we pray for all our parishioners who have health difficulties and for our donors who help us to sustain our parish. It is my hope that one day we will get back together.

This past year, we focused our attention on bringing back our devotions. I believe that popular piety is one of the best ways to evangelize our younger ones. Among these celebrations was the pet blessing which was very exciting for the children, Día de todos los difuntos, May Crowning, and the consecration of our school and parish to the pilgrim image of Our Lady of Fatima, and the posadas among others.

Let me share a word of encouragement. We purchased the first two external HD cameras that will be installed on campus. These two cameras are the first two of some others to come. Talking about cameras, we also purchased one main HD camera for the parish in order to better serve those parishioners that are not quite ready to come back.

Please keep our beautiful parish in your prayers so that as we enter the next fiscal year we continue to re-open our daily activities such as Adoration to the Blessed Sacrament and the many group activities. Finally, I would like to thank you for your patience as we make last minute changes that have to do with diocesan policies and our parish reality. We are learning on the go but something that you need to be sure is that whatever we are doing is to serve you and your family better.

By the time you read this letter, I will be on vacation and doing a spiritual retreat in order for me to come back stronger spiritually.

May God bless you and may this be the beginning of many blessings for the upcoming year. Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Pray for us.
