FROM THE PASTOR’S PEN:
IT’S TIME TO BE RAISED UP!
Our Lady of
Perpetual Help
Parish is a Catholic
community
committed to
celebrating and
extending the
mission of Jesus
Christ through
spiritual growth,
education, service
and compassion for
all God’s people,
under the
patronage of our
As we continue to prepare ourselves for Easter and all it entails, we are reminded that
Jesus, in the Paschal Mystery, shows us that even through life’s trials and tribulations,
and even though we eventually end with death, there is new life in Christ. Lent has
called us to conversion by confessing our sins, doing penance, and giving Alms. The
somber tones of this season should not depress us or bring us down, but rather they
should give us hope in the promise that in Christ we are promised a new life.
I pray that we have been able to spend some time in prayer in anticipation of our Easter
events. This Prayer allows us to fully take in the experience of this “Mystery of
Mysteries” and live out in our hearts and minds the “New Life” that Jesus wills for us.
We know that we are a sinful people and in need of forgiveness, but we also know that
we are people of “The Good News”. Because we are God’s people, we find hope in our
futures because of the one who Loved us so much that he gave his Only Begotten Son
to die for our sins so that we might be “saved from ourselves” and be given the gift of
Everlasting Life.
Winter is always a good Season for Lent. It’s cold and dark, and makes it difficult to see
the life that is hidden underneath the snow and covered up by ice on the trees and
bushes. But, when we are people of Faith, we know what lies beneath the darkness.
We know that the Light of Christ shines forth in our hearts and minds so that we are able
to persevere with patient anticipation that “this too shall pass”, and eventually we will
arrive as we rise again with Jesus.
I hope that you are able to join us for all of the
Liturgies this season offers and are able to
avail yourselves of the many opportunities for
Reconciliation, both collectively and
individually. Our day of “New Life” is coming
soon! Let us be prepared for all the Good
Blessings Our God has in store for us as
individuals, as a Parish and as a Church
Universal, which sustains us and brings us
Hope.
May God continue his Blessings in your life
and bring you his Comfort, His Peace, and his
gift of Everlasting Life.
Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Pray for Us!
Blessed Mother.

Dear OLPH Family:
Easter is the foundation of our Catholic Faith. If Jesus never rose from the dead, what good would our Faith be? As we
move through Lent we experience Jesus’ Life, Death and Resurrection which mirrors our own lives as we journey on our
way to Eternal Life.
In order to prepare ourselves for this Journey we need to make a commitment to Prayer, Fasting, and Penance in the
Sacrament of Reconciliation. I challenge you to “unburden” yourselves by attending our combined Parish Penance
Service as well as taking advantage of the other times available for Reconciliation.
I would ask that you spend the time to attend as many Holy Week services as you can, to be able to “take in” all that is
this Most Holy Season. I also encourage you to “Bring a Friend”. Easter is a time of New Beginnings and New Starts
and we are the invitations that bring our Brothers and Sisters to a New relationship with God.
May the Joy and Peace of Easter fill your hearts with all the goodness Our God can provide!
Fr. David

THE KORHUMEL SISTERS!
FRAN RIDEOUT & MARG
CHAMBERLIN
7th in a series of articles on long-time members of OLPH.
To look at Fran & Marg or see how active they are in
everything they do makes it impossible to guess how
long they have been at OLPH. They would come out
ahead every time at a Guess-Your-Age booth at a
carnival!
The Korhumels were members at Immaculate
Conception until 1926 when they built a house on
Wildwood Road near where the YMCA used to be. At
the time it was only the 3rd house on the block, and friends of the family wondered why they wanted to move out to the
boondocks! Fran was 3-months old, a year younger than brother George, and Marg entered the world a year later,
many years before another brother happened along. The girls were always being mistaken as twins. Once when
asked if they were twins, they replied, “Yes”, and when asked how old they were, they answered “4 and 5”.
With the exception of attending Kindergarten at Harvard, because OLPH didn’t have one, all of their elementary
schooling was at OLPH in the old portable buildings on the hill on River Road near Harvard School. In those days
OLPH consisted of 4 rooms with 2 classes in each room. Throughout grade school Fran said she was either in class
with her older brother or her younger sister! Each day of school began with attending Mass. They each have fond
memories of their teachers back then, particularly Winifred Coyle and Sr. John Francis, who was described as tough,
but fair. And who could forget Sr. Gertrude, who, when Notre Dame won, gave the kids in 5th & 6th grade a penny
Hershey bar and a five-cent bar to 7th & 8th graders. She was also the one joining the kids on toboggans flying down
the snowy hill with her veil flying out behind her. Winters inside the portables could be bitterly cold, and if you had to
visit the restroom, which was a separate small building with NO heat, let’s just say you waited as long as you could
before booking it out there!
Both sisters took the same career path by becoming teachers. Fran met her husband Lester at BGSU when he came
back from the war. Marg’s husband grew up in the south end as well on Princeton Boulevard. Marg was working for
her father when he hired Jim. Both couples were married at the old OLPH Church on the hill. It wasn’t long before
they were sending their own children to OLPH. There was never a thought about sending them elsewhere. Fran
taught at Arlington School for 27 years and still tutors there twice a week. She’s now seeing her students’ kids and
even their grandchildren at Arlington. Marg started teaching at Westfield, took 15 years off to raise her own children,
then taught Kindergarten at Walbridge for 4 ½ years before ending up at Beverly School, where she and Helen Coyle
both taught Kindergarten.
These days you will find Fran oftentimes lectors at our 9:00 a.m. Mass. They both faithfully help with the Funeral
Luncheon program, and Marg’s passion for needlework is a hallmark standard. From both of them come words of
loyalty to OLPH, where they have always found it a great place to be a member. These ladies have lived through a lot
of our OLPH history, and we consider them two of the cornerstones of this great parish!

just need you and your volunteers to man the booth throughout the festival. If you are willing, please call the Parish
Office and we’ll be glad to hear you say “YES!” Other areas needing YOU are donating non-perishable, non-expired
items for Grocery Wheel, donating plants, pots, outdoor ornamentals & potting soil for the Garden of Eden, bake and
freeze goodies for the Bakery Wheel, make homemade items for Craft Corner, donate or re-gift new household items
and gift certificates to the Wheel of Fortune and SELL THOSE RAFFLE TICKETS!

Wheel, Garden of Eden, Beer Ticket Sales, Money Tree, Craft Corner, Sunday Dinner, $2,000 Raffle, Fried Foods, Snack Bar, Beer AND, Set Up, Clean Up & Take

It takes a lot of people and we know OLPH Parish won’t let us down.
CALL & VOLUNTEER!!
TAX TIME = CONTRIBUTION STATEMENTS
You can receive a copy of your 2014 Contribution Statement to Our Lady
of Perpetual Help Church in one of two ways. First, call the Parish Office
and request that a copy be placed in a sealed envelope in the narthex of
the Church before weekend Mass for you to pick up, or send a selfaddressed, stamped envelope requesting that a copy be mailed to you.
We’ll get it to you as soon as possible!
We are very thankful for the continued generosity of our parishioners.
Without your help we could not continue the ministry of serving our faithful.
We appreciate your many gifts of time, talent and material resources.
God bless you!

filled with hundreds of candy and prize-filled Easter Eggs!?! Each age group will have their
own time to spend in the “hunting corral”, which will begin at 10:15 with Kindergarten, then pre

MISS YOUR AGE GROUP!! If the age group has a large number of children, we will divide

This has become a wonderful tradition at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church, and we want to
see all of our kids here enjoying all the excitement and fun!
VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED! If you or your Junior High/High School student is available to

5TH GRADE CLOTHING DRIVE SERVES COMMUNITY
Mrs. Barbara Doane’s 5th grade class wanted to do
something special to serve our community
during the season of “good will toward men”. Their
clothing drive idea snowballed into such a large
collection from school and parish families that they
had to entreat Cherry Street Mission to come to the
school to pick it all up! Ahhh, the heart of a child is
a giving heart, and our 5th grade proves it is a class
of many giving hearts. We salute you!

SCHOOL FUNDRAISER REWARD IS ALL WET!
Perpetual Times
“How many magazines or tubs of cookie dough do I have
to sell to go to Kalahari?” That was the question on
every student’s mind when our first school fundraiser
began. Kalahari Water Park in Sandusky was the
ultimate goal, and everyone wanted to go! Alas, the
entire student body didn’t qualify, but 51 kids did and 8
sold enough to take a sibling or school friend! Our trip
took place on Tuesday, November 25, a non-school day.
Was it fun? Let our pictures do the talking:
