You may send your donations by mail, drop them in the lock box near the front door of the Parish Office, or continue to use online giving. -If you have any business to conduct with the Parish Office, we ask that you do so by e-mail () or regular mail. In closing, let us remain united in prayer and works of charity during this difficult time in our world's history. Jesus Christ, King and Center of the Universe, reigns over time and space. Let us trust that our Savior will lead us safely through these days. Let us also seek the intercession of Our Mother of Perpetual Help, Patroness of our parish. Thank you to all of you for your faithful witness to the Gospel! +Blessings, Father Joseph
