• Our Lady of Perpetual Help community and beyond are individuals coming together a few times each regularly to share and grow their faith through the inspiring words of Scripture.  Gathering in a comfortable setting (usually the homes of the members), a facilitator guides the group.  The upcoming Sunday Scriptures are read.  Each person reflects on the message and is encouraged to share how a word, a phrase, or idea speaks to them in a personal way.  As members connect their own life and faith stories to the Scripture, they truly discover God more richly present in their lives. Small Church Community members gather together to share and listen, support and encourage, find peace and prayer in the spirit of Christ’s teachings.  They grow to know, honor and celebrate one another.  They offer service to one another, the Small Church Community (SCC) is a group of 3 or more,
