Submit your intentions for Three Holy Masses June 25-27

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. 

Please join me in prayer for three days invoking the intercession of Our Mother of Perpetual Help, from June 25-27, which includes the feast day. SUBMIT YOUR INTENTIONS for the Three Holy Masses beginning on June 25. 

Together, let us Storm Heaven during these three days, June 25-27, calling on Our Mother of Perpetual Help, whose name inspires confidence; for she will help us in all our necessities of body and soul. 

Your friend in Christ,
