Our Mission — Nuestra Misión

Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish, has been serving the com-munity of South Ozone Park and beyond since 1923. We are a diverse multi-ethnic Catholic community in a neighborhood of people of many faiths.

We follow Jesus Christ proclaiming him to parish and neighborhood; and we use our gifts and talents to serve others.
