Our Plan
With each step we take, we get closer to fulfilling God’s vision for Our Lady of Perpetual Help. Imagine what a new church will mean to our families, to the community, and to those whom God will bring to us in the future.
- A new church will help us make room for you and others. We’ll have almost twice the amount of seating (1,200) that we currently have. With many parishioners more than occasionally standing throughout some of our Masses, it is imperative we create more seating for them, for you, and for others. It will also allow us to schedule Masses at wider intervals and to deal better with the impending shortage of priests.
- A new church will provide you with a centralized Blessed Sacrament Chapel. What could be more important than this in our celebration of the presence of Christ?
- There will be a Fellowship Plaza large enough to actually accommodate you and your family as you visit with other parishioners both before and after Mass. Currently, we utilize a garage and a driveway for this purpose
- Our new church will have a tall Bell Tower along Lyons Avenue that will be visible to people in all directions. It will serve to invite them to come and worship with you and your family at Our Lady of Perpetual Help. A Bell Tower will enhance our presence in the community, serving as a “Lighthouse” to guide those in need of Christ to our spiritual home.
- A new church will make it possible for us to convert our current worship space into a Parish Hall for social gatherings, parish wide lunch or dinner functions, wedding receptions, athletic events, Bible study groups, Men’s groups, Women’s groups, children’s and youth events, PTO and our school-related functions. The list is endless.
- Most importantly, our new church will enable you and me to better fulfill our purpose from Christ to share the Gospel with our community and the world (Matthew 28:19-20).
