St. Helena’s Church
A Beacon of Faith and Community
We are a Eucharist centered Catholic Church called to illuminate the Divine message of the gospel, by living our faith in God through loving and serving one another. As one family, we hope and work for a future of peace and justice through God’s Holy will in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord.
Join us in worship, prayer, and service as we walk together in faith.
Upcoming Events
Upcoming Change to Our Sunday Mass Schedule
After consultation with the Parish Council and prayer and reflection we will be moving from three Sunday Masses to two beginning the first Sunday of Advent, November 30.
The Saturday schedule will remain the same with confessions at 3:30 PM and Mass at 5:00 PM.
Sunday Masses will be at 8:00 AM and 10:00 AM.
Both Sunday Masses will include music allowing for a more uplifting and inspiring spiritual experience.
Our October Mass count this year showed attendance was down by approximately 18% with numbers ranging from 45 to 141 attendees in a church that seats 700 people. By combining our Masses we can come together for a richer celebration of the Eucharist.
We are also mindful of the future. As the number of active priests continues to decline, it is expected that one pastor will serve two parishes. We want to make this transition easier for our future pastor and for our parish community.
