Submit your intentions for Holy Masses June 18-26 invoking Our Mother of Perpetual Help & for a June 27 Feast Day Holy Mass

Dear Friend,

Are you familiar with the Byzantine Icon of Our Mother of Perpetual Help? 

Devotion to Our Mother of Perpetual Help (or Our Lady of Perpetual Help) began as early as the 13th Century. In 1866, Pope Pius IX granted permission to the Redemptorists, the Religious Order founded by St. Alphonsus Liguori, for the Icon to be enshrined in the Church of St. Alphonsus in Rome and told the Redemptorists to “make her known throughout the world.” 

Unfortunately, the June 27th feast day of Our Lady of Perpetual Help is now only considered a historical feast, so it is not on the liturgical mass calendar. This means that the majority of parishes do not recognize this feast, so Holy Masses are not celebrated in honor of Our Lady under this title. Throughout the centuries, countless miracles and favors granted have been documented, especially after a visit to the Shrines dedicated to Our Mother of Perpetual Help. Shrines are located in the Philippines, which claims to be the largest in the world – also in Rome, Chile, Brazil, Ireland, Poland, Singapore, Haiti and the US, in Boston, Massachusetts. 

Won’t you join me in reviving this powerful devotion! Let’s revive the devotion! Can you join me in prayer for nine days to Our Mother of Perpetual Help, invoking her intercession for our needs, and at the same time, meditate on the meaning of the Icon? I ask that you submit your intentions, which will be included in nine days of Holy Masses, from June 18 -26 and one Holy Mass on June 27, the feast day, where we will thank Our Mother for favors granted and all the blessings we have received.

Your friend in Christ,
