PARISH MISSION STATEMENT:
Our Lady of Perpetual Help (Redemptorist) Church is a Roman Catholic community where through liturgy,
prayer, Sacramental Ministry, and Christian Education, we are formed into Disciples of the Lord, reaching out
to love and welcome one another, especially the poor and most abandoned among us. As disciples, we seek
to follow Jesus’ instructions to “preach” the Gospel through the way we live our lives.
Pastor’s Letter—
Letter—June 19, 2016
we Redemptorists in 1866. This celebration
occurs on Monday, the 27th, the actual Feastday
of Our Lady of Perpetual Help. It is being held
in our sister church of St. Alphonsus “Rock” Church
where the weekly novena devotions first got
their start. Our triduum in May was an
outstanding witness to how much we honor
the patroness of our parish and seek her
perpetual help. This celebration will bring
together people and Redemptorists from all
around the country to do the same. It will be
televised on EWTN (and streamed on their
website) live at 7:00 p.m. Monday the 27th.
We are inviting anyone who wishes to come to
Church at 6:15 on that evening for a special
prayer service in Church and then process over
to the John J. Sullivan, Jr. Banquet Hall to watch
together the live broadcast on a big screen.
Fathers Terry and Gene will lead you in prayer
and celebration. In order to give us an idea
of how many to prepare for in the hall, would
you mind calling in an RSVP to advise us of
your participation?
Dear Parishioners and Friends,
I hope all of those who attended our parish
festival-homecoming had a good time. This being
my first, I know I did! It was enjoyable to walk
around, see and chat with so many in a relaxed
and informal setting. The kids seemed to have
a particularly good time on the inflatables and
the adults seemed to have just as good a time
watching them! The food and drinks were great.
It was a warm day, but a slight breeze, snow cones
and some shade kept us comfortable. The alumni
of Redemptorist High School appreciated the
open house held by Cristo Rey so they could sit
up in the gym bleachers and reminisce of their
conquests and exploits!
Congratulations to all our raffle winners!
Remember, there are many more calendar raffle
drawings to come. Now that I know I am not
going to Ireland any time soon, I can continue
to concentrate on, and remind you of, some
still-to-come events in our parish over the next month.
On Friday night, July 15th, we will hold a
Memorial Mass for our beloved Fr. Patrick Power
who passed away in May, just short of his 50th
anniversary of priesthood. We had been
planning a joint celebration of his anniversary with
Fr. Terry, but God had other plans. Although he
will not participate in our earthly celebrations,
we are sure he is smiling down his Irish blessings
upon his classmates and us and we will have a
fitting celebration of his rather accomplished and
long life.
Of course, today is Father’s Day. We wish
all our Fathers a blessed and neck-tie free day!
We remember all our Fathers, living and deceased,
and thank God for gifting us with them and putting
“skin” on our understanding of God our Father who
watches over us and protects us always.
This coming Thursday in St. Louis, Fr. Terry
McCloskey will join his ordination classmates for
the 50th anniversary celebration of their ordination
as priests. Father Terry and his classmates were
ordained at a very exciting time in the Church, right
after the Second Vatican Council. It was a time
of great hope and change. They navigated the
changes wonderfully and helped guide all of us
to a realization that the people in the pews were
not spectators in worship and not at the bottom of a
hierarchical pyramid concerning the life of the
Church, but active participants in the Mass and
a priestly people of God in their own right!
Congratulations Fr. Terry. We love you! Our parish
celebration for Fr. Terry will be Sunday, July 17th
at the 11:30 Mass with a reception to follow.
So, it continues to be an active and event-filled
early summer. In between your activities and
amidst the hot weather, I hope you are finding time
for rest, relaxation and “re-creation” to
reboot your energies and recharge your spirit!
There is so much to be thankful for in Christ,
who first said to us: “Come to me all you who are
weary and find life burdensome, and I will give
you rest.”
Fr. Gary
This coming weekend I too will be in St. Louis,
along with a few parishioners, decked out in our
“Make Her Known” T-shirts and commemorative pins,
to take part in the nationwide 150th anniversary
celebration of the entrustment of the OLPH icon to
