Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish
A Parish of the Diocese of Scranton
We will have a mission appeal next weekend, May 20th & 21st, for Father Jose’s home diocese of Kottappuram in India. Please make checks payable to Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish and note that it is for Father Jose’s home diocese. We will not have a special envelope for this collection.
Our Happy Wagon is ready to be filled! Please bring in your spirits, wine, soda, or snacks to the Parish Office. Our annual Parish Picnic will be held on Sunday, July 16th. Any questions, please contact Joe or Mary Ann.
St. Mary’s will be open 7:00 am to 2:00 pm weekdays for you to continue celebrating the resurrection throughout the Easter season. What a perfect way to start your day in front of the tabernacle where Jesus continues to wait for us to spend time with him.
Our website is now active once again! Please contact the parish office or Alice Berger for any updates to the website or calendar.
Beginning Holy Week, Father Jose has requested Eucharistic Ministers to once again serve at Mass. We are presently looking for volunteers to help our parish in this capacity and training will be provided. Please call the parish office or Ellen Armitage to volunteer.
Thank you for “answering the call” to keep our parish active!
O almighty and eternal God,
Lord of both the living and the dead,Your tender mercy embraces all men…
Through the intercession of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary our Mother, and of all the saints,
grant Your merciful pardon to all mothers for whom we pray, whether they still are living in this world or have departed from this flesh into the world to come.
Especially, Dear Lord, grant the requests I now make of You for my own beloved mother. Through Christ Our Lord.
Amen.
My friends
I sing and play organ the song Divine Mercy that we sang during
the Divine Mercy Sunday Mass this morning on the occasion of First anniversary of the Shrine. See attachments
It is not very good like a professional. However what I can do, I try my best.
God bless you all and pray for one another.
