St Helen Parish

We, the people of St. Helen Church, are called to embody our motto, "Proud of our Past, we move forward with Faith. We owe a debt of gratitude to the Catholics of Polish birth and descent who founded our parish more than a century ago and laid the foundation upon which we continue to build today. Our patron, St. Helen, who found the True Cross, was... a builder of churches and a provider for the poor and exiled. We strive to follow the example of her spiritual quest and to strengthen our parish by accepting our diversity, by welcoming those who have lost their way, and by serving those in our community. We are a diverse community and strive to use our differences to bring the teachings of Christ to all people. We have many riches in our 100-year history and cultural customs, such as the Oplatek, the Corpus Christi procession and the Motorcycle procession on the anniversary of the Canonization of St. John Paul II, and the new celebration of Simbang Gabi. We recognize the importance of a strong union between our diverse and growing school community and our church of mercy that will keep St. Helen's light burning bright for another 100 years.Read More
