We are pleased to welcome the Most Rev. James F. Checchio, Archbishop of New Orleans, to Our Lady of Perpetual Help on Sunday, September 20. Archbishop Checchio will celebrate our 9:00 a.m. Mass, and we invite all parishioners to join us for this special occasion.

A Eucharistic Rosary Congress is seven days and nights of continuous Eucharistic Adoration in which the Holy Rosary is prayed aloud at the top of every hour, day and night, without interruption. Hosted in a parish or diocese, it is a sustained act of communal prayer before Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament, offered for the conversion of sinners, the consecration of our nation, and the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Our Lady of Perpetual Help will be hosting the Rosary Congress on October 6. Adoration will begin following the 9 AM School Mass and continue throughout the night until 8 AM on October 7.

Join us as parishioner Jolene Tyrolf, a life-long Latin enthusiast, teaches the Latin language through the prayers of the Church, the Vulgate Bible, and the Mass. Free of charge and no previous Latin experience is required.

When: Mondays, 7-8 PM, August 31-December 14

Where: LaRose Center, Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church, 2008 Short Street, Kenner, LA 70062

Have you or someone you know ever considered becoming Catholic, or were you baptized Catholic as a child but have not yet received the Sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist? If so, we would like to offer an opportunity to come together in a small group to learn more about our faith. This program is known as the Order of Christian Initiation for Adults (OCIA). Sessions focus on the teachings and experience of the Church and prepare individuals to celebrate the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist during the Easter season. Sessions will begin in October. If you are interested, please call the parish office to be put on the list. We look forward to hearing from you!

The Food Pantry has officially reopened and is now open on Thursdays from 9:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Our Food Pantry volunteers prepare and distribute groceries to those in need throughout our community.

Please keep Fr. Dussouy in your prayers as he is on medical leave through September and scheduled to return in October.

Our Sacramental schedule will continue as normal. Daily Mass will be celebrated at 6:00 p.m., and all weekend Masses and Confessions will continue as usual.

Thank you for praying for Fr. Dussouy during his recovery.
