Mission Statement
We are a community of worship on Sundays and weekdays, growing spiritually, supporting the gracefully aging parishioners in our community, while also preparing and offering to our children in catechism class the tools they will need to use in their daily lives. We focus on training future Religious Education teachers about the teachings and protection of our children, with emphasis on their protection.
We support people in recovery from alcoholism and drugs. We are helping our young families with wedding ceremonies and do a follow up to confirm or assist in their spiritual growth.
We reach out to the poor as instructed by Pope St. John Paul II in his encyclical Solicitudo Rei Socialis and we reflect the wishes and prayers of our current Pope Francis.
OLPH is one of 42 parishes and 17 missions within the Diocese of Santa Rosa. We are focused on getting to heaven and you are most welcome to join us on our journey there.

GOSPEL FOR FEBRUARY 09, 2020
Jesus said to his disciples:
“You are the salt of the earth.
But if salt loses its taste,
with what can it be seasoned?
It is no longer good for anything
but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.
You are the light of the world.
A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden.
Nor do they light a lamp and then
put it under a bushel basket;
it is set on a lampstand,
where it gives light to all in the house.
Just so, your light must shine before others,
that they may see your good deeds
and glorify your heavenly Father.”
PRAYER INTENTION FOR
FEBRUARY

Dear Friends at Our lady of perpetual help and the visitors from any parishes, any faith groups, or not affiliated with any faith groups, all are welcomed here. But , currently, due to Corona Virus 2019 the church is still locked down today.
Going by the meetings I attended via Zoom, with our Bishop, Most Rev. Robert F. Vasa and the meetings with our Napa county officials, and priests representatives from other Dioceses, it seems to me that in the near future the Churches may be Re-open to worship but subject to the State Laws, County laws, Municipality laws. And we in our church do have some pastoral guidelines from our Bishop and the Bishop of Rome “Papa Francisco”.
As you can understand ,every Parish has its own peculiar limitations based on Volunteers, aging population, number of children, workers to secure cleaning and sanitizing the buildings, ongoing food programs etc.…
I suspect , some of you are very anxious to come into the church and receive some solace, consolation, and peace. and the Real presence for the healing of the world, especially, in these times, is articulated in the Catholic tradition in the praying before the blessed sacrament .and please do not ever forget that God is ever present in your homes, in your hearts and in the whole creation as Pope Francis would say.
I know, you are anxious to come into the church, but it comes with a responsibility to protect others from virus. The last thing that we want to do as a Church within the community is to contribute to spreading the virus.
In anticipation of Re-opening of our parish, I am now and will be meeting during the upcoming week, with the leaders for Each mass.
This is what the co-operation I need from each one of you when we reopen :
- We need 4 ushers to meet 20 minutes before mass to arrange seating of parishioners. People must wear masks, can sit with their families but if they are large number then still social distancing is observed.
- Need 2 eucharistic ministers to give the communion in the hand.
- Depending on the attendance, we may have to split the Mass in Spanish in to two seatings.
- No lengthy songs or lengthy homilies either.
- Need volunteers, who will help under the supervision of Liduvina Ceja and Ruth Rodriguez to help sanitizing the entire pews and church with spray and wipes and mob the floor after every mass, if we were to start
- No food allowed inside.
- Elderly, especially who are already sick, please stay home. Because you are vulnerable.
