Faith & Service at OLPH

“Oh God, in the example of St. Joseph, help us to be builders of unity and instruments of reconciliation. Our Lady of Perpetual Help, pray for us. Amen.”

- CSJ Educational Network Prayer

Faith, Service, and Excellence are pillars of our Catholic school. On top of our rigorous religion curriculum, students regularly attend and serve in mass, pray regularly throughout the day, and participate in service projects.

At OLPH School, we believe students learn about their place in the world community through participation in service and social justice activities that benefit the parish and our neighboring and global communities. Students use their talents and abilities in an effort to fulfill their potential as Catholics and active people of faith by servicing:

-The Elderly
-The Sick
-The Homeless/Hungry
-The Environment

Each class creates a partnership with a community organization and sets personal goals for growth, keeping in mind how best to serve our community and involve students as well as their families in the process. Creating partnerships within the community assists in building the sort of citizens that will later benefit the community in which they live.

OLPH offers sacrament prep for families with students wishing to become fully initiated into the Catholic Church. Students in grade 2 go through catechesis to fulfill their first sacrament of the Eucharist, and then again in 8th grade to be sealed with the Holy Spirit during the sacrament of Confirmation. Please contact the school office if you wish to begin the sacrament process with your child.
